Important: For comfort, safety and effectiveness of product, please ensure the following:
•During the first 2 weeks of training, do not use the training device on your pet without direct supervision.
•Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure by being able to insert one finger between the Contact Point and your pet’s skin.
•Your pet must be carefully examined daily for any signs of a rash or sore.
•If a rash or sore is observed, discontinue the use of the Receiver Collar for a few days.
•If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
•Your dog’s neck and the Contact Points must be washed weekly with a wash cloth and mild hand soap, then rinsed thoroughly.
A condition called Pressure Necrosis, which is a devitalization of the skin due to excessive and prolonged contact against the Contact Points, may occur if the steps above are not followed.
To Re-Thread the Collar
Slide Buckle
Ridges
The slide buckle prevents the collar from becoming loose around your pet’s neck.
The ridges must be facing up; the collar will slip if it is not properly threaded.
