Step 5: Place the Boundary Flags
The Boundary Flags are visual reminders for your pet of where the Boundary Zone is located. The Receiver Collar will
activate within 2 to 3 feet of the Boundary Flags.
1. Using the Test Light, with the Static Correction Level set at 2 or greater, hold the Receiver Collar at your pet’s neck
height with logo side facing away from the Transmitter.
2. Walk towards the Boundary Zone until the Receiver Collar beeps and the Test Light flashes (5A).
3. Place a Boundary Flag in the ground (5B).
4. Walk back into the Pet Area until the beeping stops.
5. Repeat this process around the Boundary Zone until it is marked with Boundary Flags every 10 feet.
The Boundary Flags may be in different parts of the Boundary Zone and may not be in a line. The Boundary Zone is
2 to 3 feet wide.
Step 6: Fit the Receiver Collar
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.
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 secure 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.
