Fit the Receiver Collar

Step
5
Important: The proper fit and placement of your Receiver Collar is important for effective training and the Safety of your
pet. The Contact Points must have direct contact with your pet's skin on the underside of his neck.
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 (5A).
3. To make it easier to hear the warning beep, place the Receiver Collar on your pet with the
PetSafe logo side of the Receiver facing up.
4. Centre 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. Check the tightness of the Receiver Collar by inserting one finger
between the end of a Contact Point and your pet's neck. The fit
should be snug but not constricting (5B).
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. Trim the collar as follows (5C):
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.
Important: For comfort, safety and effectiveness of product,
please ensure the following:
• During the fi rst 2 weeks of training, do not use the training
device on your pet without direct supervision.
• Check the fi t to prevent excessive pressure by being able to
insert one fi nger between the Contact Point and your pet's skin.
• Your pet must be carefully examined daily for any signs of a rash or sore.
• If a rash or sore is observed, discontinue the use of the Receiver Collar for a few days.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
• Your pet's neck and the Contact Points must be washed weekly with a wash cloth and mild hand soap,
then rinsed thoroughly.
A condition called Pressure Necrosis, which is a de vitalization of the skin due to excessive and
prolonged contact against the Contact Points, may occur if the steps above are not followed.
