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 safe 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.

You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points. Never shave the dog’s neck; this may lead

to a rash or infection.

To assure a proper ﬁt, please follow these steps:

1. Make sure that the battery is not installed in the Receiver Collar.

2. Start with your pet standing comfortably (9A).

3. Place the Receiver Collar on your pet so that the “PetSafe” logo is facing your pet’s

chin. Center the Contact Points underneath your pet’s neck, touching the skin.

4. The Receiver Collar should ﬁt snugly, yet loose enough to allow one ﬁnger to ﬁt between a

contact point and your pet’s neck (9B).

Allow your pet to wear the collar for several minutes

then recheck the ﬁt. Check the ﬁt again as your pet becomes more comfortable with the

Receiver Collar.

5. Once you are satisﬁed with the ﬁt of the Receiver Collar then you may

trim any excess collar strap as follows (9C):

a. Mark the desired length of the Receiver Collar with a pen. Allow for

growth if your pet is young or grows a thick winter coat.

b. Remove the Receiver Collar from your pet and cut off the excess.

c. Before placing the Receiver Collar back onto your pet, seal the edge of

the cut collar by applying a ﬂame along the frayed edge.
