Important Collar Safety Guidelines:
1. During training, do not let your dog wear the Collar without
direct supervision.
2. Each time you take the Collar off your dog, look for any indication
of a sore or rash.
3. Should you find any indication of a sore or rash on your dog, stop
using the Collar for a few days.
4. If the rash or sore exists for more than 2 days, consult your
veterinarian.
5. Wash your dog’s neck weekly with mild soap and a wash cloth
and then rinse clean.
6. Wash the Probes of the Collar weekly with mild soap and a wash
cloth and then rinse clean.
If you do not remove the Collar from your
dog’s neck at least every 12 hours AND
clean your dog’s neck and the Collar,
Pressure Necrosis may occur which is a
deterioration of your dog’s skin. It is caused
by extended contact to the pressure of the
Collar Probes combined with the oil and dirt
that may accumulate on the Probes if not
kept clean.

Fitting a Collar
To ensure the safe and effective operation of the system, it is
important to make sure that the Collar is fitted properly.
1. Be sure the Fence is turned off at the Controller (see
Turning the Trigger Zone Off/On on Page 15).
2. With your dog standing comfortably, position the Collar high
on your dog’s neck, underneath the chin with the Probes
facing upward and centered on your dog’s neck. The Havahart
®
Wireless logo should be right side up when you look at your dog.
3. Make sure the Probes maintain contact with skin.
• Collar is factory-installed with Long Probes for thick or
long-haired breeds.
• Short Probes for short-haired dogs are included.
• To change the Probes, simply unscrew the Long Probes and
replace them. Be sure the rubber washer is between the
Probe and the Battery Housing. Use your fingers to tighten
the Probes as far as you can. Do not over tighten.
4. Adjust the Collar to fit snugly but not tightly. You should be
able to slide the tip of one finger between your dog’s coat
and one of the Probes on the Collar. It should be a tight squeeze
(see Illustration E). Separately, you should be able to slide one finger
between the Collar Strap and the back of your dog’s neck.

5. Once the Collar is adjusted to the correct length, remove
the Collar and trim the excess Strap using scissors (see Illustration F). Burn
the end of the Strap with a match to prevent fraying.
4
The Collar should be snug enough so that
it does not move when your dog moves.
To help prevent skin irritation, it is vet-
recommended that you never leave the
Collar on your dog for more than 12
consecutive hours at a time.

NOTE: It may be necessary to trim the hair on your dog’s neck
around the Probes to ensure reliable contact with your dog’s skin.
NOTE: If your dog is going to continue to grow or grows a long
winter coat, leave extra room before trimming off the excess Strap.
