Fit the Receiver Collar
Important:
The proper fit and placement of y our Receiver Collar is impor tant for effective training. The Contact
Points must have direct contact with your pet’s skin on the under side of his neck.
CAUTION
Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Proper fi t of the collar is important. A collar
worn for too long or made too tight on the pet’s neck may cause skin damage. Ranging from redness to
pressure ulcers; this condition is commonly known as bed sores.
• Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Check the fi t to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.
• Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on the electronic collar.
• Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts of the collar weekly with a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

These steps will help keep your pet safe and comfortable. Millions of pets are comfortable while they wear
stainless steel contacts. Some pets are sensitive to contact pressure. You may fi nd after some time that your
pet is very tolerant of the collar. If so, you may relax some of these precautions. It is important to continue daily
checks of the contact area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use until the skin has fully healed.
