FIT THE COLLAR RECEIVER
IMPORTANT: The proper fit and placement of the Collar Receiver is important for effective training. The Contact Points must
have direct contact with your dog’s skin.
Please see page 3 for Important Safety Information.
To ensure a proper fit, follow these steps:
1. With your dog standing
(3A), center the Collar
Receiver so the Contact Points are underneath your
dog’s neck, touching the skin
(3B). If your dog has a
long or thick coat, you have two options to ensure
consistent contact: either trim the hair around
the Contact Points or switch to the longer Contact
Points included with your system.
• You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points. Never shave the dog’s neck; this may lead to a rash
or infection.
• You should not make the collar any tighter than is required for good contact. A collar that is too tight will increase the risk
of pressure necrosis in the contact area.
2. The Collar Receiver should fit snugly, yet loose enough to allow one finger to fit between
the strap and your dog’s neck
(3C).
3. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes, and then recheck the fit. Check the
fit again as your dog becomes more comfortable wearing the Collar Receiver.
