Fit the Receiver Collar

Step
9
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.
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 (9A).
3. Place the Receiver Collar on your pet so that the "PetSafe"
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 (9B).
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 (9C):
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.

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.
• 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
manual.
• Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause excessive
pressure on the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, don't 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.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit
our website. These steps will help keep your pet safe 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.
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.
