ADJUSTING & POSITIONING YOUR
COLLAR FOR PROPER FIT
Proper collar tightness and position
are very important to insure safety
and correct functioning every time
you use the collar.
•
All electronic collars need to be
very snug to work properly.
They must be just tight enough
to allow the “prongs” or
electrodes to make good skin
contact.
•
If your collar is too loose, the stimulation may not
work properly because good skin contact is not
being achieved. This can directly affect the
stimulation performance and whether or not the dog
will receive the stimulation. Always check for good
“prong” contact if it appears that your dog is not
responding to the stimulation.
•
A loose collar can promote skin irritation from
moving or rubbing too much on a dog’s neck while
they are running or training. The proper snug fit will
help prevent this from occurring.
•
Proper fit of the collar is important. It should be tight
enough on the dog’s neck to make good skin
contact and allow the dog to breath normally. The
collar should never be so tight on the dog’s neck
that it restricts the dog’s normal breathing pattern.
•
For proper positioning of your collar receiver box, it
should be placed on the center of the dog’s neck.
