Fit the Collar
Important: The proper fit and placement of the training
collar is important for effective operation. The collar
should have direct contact with your dog's skin on the
underside of his neck.
1. Make sure the collar is turned off before placing it on your pet.
Then with your pet standing (4A), fit the collar snugly onto your
pet's neck so that the collar makes contact with your pet's skin on
the underside of his neck. Make sure the PetSafe
up (4B).
2. Check the tightness of the collar by inserting one finger between
the collar and your pet's neck (4C). The fit should be snug, but
not constricting.
3. Allow your pet to wear the collar for a few minutes, then check
it again.
You may need to trim the hair in the area of the collar. Never shave
your pet's neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
4. Once you are satisfied with the fit of the collar, remove it from your
pet and trim it, but make sure to allow room for growth or for a
thicker winter coat. Use a lighter to seal the cut so that it will not fray.
5. The collar will slip if it is not properly threaded onto the strap. The
slide buckle prevents the collar from becoming loose around your
pet's neck; the ridges must be facing up (4D).
The collar should not be worn for more than 12 hours out of every 24-
hour period. Leaving the collar on too long could lead to skin irritation.
NOTE: The collar is water resistant. It should not be submerged. Please
remove the collar from the dog before bathing, swimming or any other
activities that the collar could be submerged under water.
