is on too tight, the dog may have difficulty breathing.
ALWAYS check your dog’s neck for signs of skin
irritation when using an e-collar. If any signs of skin
irritation are found, suspend e-collar training and
consult with a veterinarian.
ATTENTION!
Leaving the e-collar in the same position on a dog’s
neck for extended periods of time can also cause skin
irritation. To prevent this, occasionally reposition the e-
collar so the contact points are moved to a different
location on the dog’s neck. ALWAYS check your dog’s
neck for signs of skin irritation when using an e-collar.
If any signs of skin irritation are found, suspend e-collar
training and consult with a veterinarian.
INTENSITY SELECTION
The level of stimulation best suited for your dog
depends on your dog’s temperament and threshold for
stimulation. Always start at the lowest level and work
your way up. The appropriate level can be found when
the dog responds to the stimulation with a mild reaction
such as a tensing of the neck muscles. The stimulation
level may vary depending on the training situation.
When highly distracted, dogs will require a higher level
of stimulation.
NOTE : The stimulation intensity can be adjusted
even while the stimulation is in use.
