Concrete Driveway or Sidewalk (

a groove using a circular saw and masonry blade. Place the boundary wire in the groove and cover
with an appropriate waterproofing compound. For best results, brush away dirt or other debris before
patching.
•
Gravel or Dirt Driveway (
7D
): Place the boundary wire in a PVC pipe or water hose to protect the
boundary wire before burying

Place the Boundary Flags
The boundary flags are visual reminders for your pet of where the warning zone is located.
1. Place the test light contacts on the contact points and hold the receiver collar at your pet’s neck height.
2. Walk towards the warning zone until the receiver collar beeps (
8A
).
3. Place a boundary flag in the ground (
8B
).
4. Walk back into the pet area until the beeping stops.
5. Repeat this process around the warning zone until it is marked with boundary flags every 10 ft.
Note: If you cannot hear the beep, see the test light instructions.
To prevent an unintended correction, after the boundary flags have been placed, be sure to set the static correction on the
receiver collar back to level 1 Tone only.

Fit the Receiver Collar
Important: The proper fit and placement of your receiver collar is important for effective training.
The contact points must have direct contact with your pet’s skin on the underside of his neck.
Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Proper fit 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.
To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the battery is not installed in the receiver collar.
2. Start with your pet standing comfortably.
3. Place the receiver collar on your pet so that the Premier Pet
™
logo is facing your pet’s chin.
4. Center the contact points underneath your pet’s neck, touching the skin. If your pet has a long or thick
coat, use the enclosed long contact points to reach through the hair. Note: It is sometimes necessary
to trim the hair around the contact points to make sure that contact is consistent.
5. The receiver collar should fit snugly, yet loose enough to
allow one finger to fit between a contact point and your
pet’s neck (
9A
).
6. Allow your pet to wear the collar for several minutes then
recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your pet becomes
more comfortable with the receiver collar.
7. Once you are satisfied with the fit of the receiver collar,
then you may trim any excess collar strap as follows (
9B
):
A. Mark the desired length of the receiver collar with a
pen. Allow for growth if your pet is young or grows a
thick winter coat.
B. Remove the receiver collar from your pet and cut off
the excess.
C. Before placing the receiver collar back onto your pet,
seal the edge of the cut collar by applying a flame
along the frayed edge.
