Fit the Collar Receiver
Important: The proper fi t and placement of the Collar Receiver is important
for effective training. 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), center 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.
4. Trim the collar as follows (3D):
a. Mark the desired length of the collar with a pen. Allow for
growth if your dog is young or grows a thick winter coat.

b. Remove the Receiver Collar from your dog
and cut off the excess. Important: Do not
cut the part of the collar containing the
Antenna.
c. Before placing the Receiver Collar back
onto your dog, seal the edge of the cut collar
by applying a fl ame along the frayed edge.
