FIT THE COLLAR RECEIVER

CAUTION

Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Proper ﬁ t of the collar is important.

A collar worn for too long, or made too tight on the pet's neck may cause skin damage. This is called

bed sores; it is also called decubitus ulcers or pressure necrosis.

• 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 ﬁ t 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.

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 ﬁ nd 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.

IMPORTANT: The Contact Points must have direct contact with your dog's skin.

To ensure a proper ﬁ t, follow these steps:

1. With your dog standing (3A), centre the Collar Receiver where the Contact

Points are underneath your dog's neck, touching the skin (3B). If your dog

has a long or thick coat, trim the hair around the Contact Points to ensure

consistent contact.

2. The Collar Receiver should ﬁ t snugly, yet loose enough to allow

one ﬁ nger to ﬁ t between the strap and your dog's neck (3C).

3. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes, and then

recheck the ﬁ t. Check the ﬁ t again as your dog becomes more

comfortable wearing the Collar Receiver.
