COLLAR FITTING
Proper fit of the Sunbeam® Advanced Bark
Control Collar is essential to establish a good
training foundation and optimal performance.
Note:
Batteries should be installed properly
and collar in OFF position before proceeding
with fitting the collar to your dog.
STEP 1:
Ensure dog is in a relaxed position.
STEP 2:
With the collar clasp open loosen
the adjustment buckle such that it can reach
completely around your dog’s neck. (
fig. 4)
Place sensors directly over the dog’s voicebox.
When buckled, the collar should
rest directly behind the dog’s ears (the highest
part of the neck). (

Note:
Make sure both sensors go through the
coat completely and make contact with the
skin.
Trimming the hair around the dog’s neck
where the sensors will touch the skin is
optional,
DO NOT
trim the hair so short that
the skin is completely exposed as this might
allow for an irritation or rash to occur.
STEP 3:
Close and lock clasp. (

STEP 4:
Adjust for proper fit by pulling on
strap until you can fit two fingers in between
your dog’s neck and the collar. (

Note:
Verify that the sensors are directly over
the dog’s voicebox. The collar should be firm
but not excessively tight.
STEP 5:
Let your dog wear the product for
sufficient time confirming that they are
moving around normally. This step is to ensure that under daily activity the
collar will remain secure and not become loose.
STEP 6:
Reattach collar to your dog. Check the fit of the collar several
times per day. Wipe the sensors weekly with a damp cloth while collar is in off
position.
Reminder:
If you choose to use a 2nd collar, leash or harness system make
sure it does not interfere with the operation of the Sunbeam®
Advanced
Bark Control Collar.
