FITTING THE COLLAR ON THE DOG
FITTING THE COLLAR
ON THE DOG
PROPER FIT
The collar should be fitted so that the surgical
stainless steel contact points press firmly
against the dog’s skin. You should be able to
fit a finger in between the contact point and
your dog’s skin. The best location is either
side of the dog’s windpipe.

FITTING THE COLLAR ON THE DOG
IMPROPER FIT
A loose fit can allow the collar to move around
on the dog’s neck. When this happens, the
contact points may rub the skin and cause
irritation. If the collar is too loose, electrical
contact will be inconsistent and your corrections
will be inconsistent also.
Dogtra uses surgical stainless steel contact points
and Anti-microbial plastic to protect the dog’s
skin.
ATTENTION!
Avoid having the dog wear the collar for more
than 8 hours out of every 24-hour period.
Leaving the points on the same spot for extended
periods of time can cause skin irritation. If the
dog is to wear the e-collar for long periods,
occasionally reposition the collar so that the
contact points are moved to a different location
on the dog’s neck.
