short enough for him not to reach a road or other unsafe area. You must also be physically strong enough to
restrain your dog when he tries to chase.

• Risk of skin damage: Please read and follow the instructions in this guide. 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.
• 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 fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this guide.
• Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, do not 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.

These steps will help keep your pet secure and comfortable. Millions of pets are comfortable while they wear
stainless steel contacts. Some pets are sensitive to contact pressure. You may find 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.
