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 against the skin and cause
irritation. If the collar is too loose, electrical
contact will be inconsistent causing your
corrections to be inconsistent.
Dogtra uses surgical stainless steel contact
points and anti-microbial plastic to protect the
dog’s skin.
ATTENTION!
Leaving the collar/receiver in the same
location on the dog’s neck, for an extended
period 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. Make sure you check for skin
irritation, each time you use the unit.

FITTING THE COLLAR ON THE DOG
INTENSITY SELECTION
The has a
Rheostat Intensity Dial on the top of the
transmitter (0 is the lowest and 127 is the highest).
Remember that you will need to adjust the setting
(upward or downward) depending on your dog’s
temperament and threshold for stimulation. Also,
as the dog’s attitude changes, especially during
times of increased excitement or distraction, you
may need to adjust the intensity level.
NOTE : The stimulation intensity can be
adjusted even while the stimulation is
in use.
FAMILIARIZING THE DOG TO THE BEEPER
SOUND
Turn the beeper collar on and leave it outside
the dog’s kennel area for about a half-hour.
Repeat this several times, until you can see
that the dog disregards the beeper.
Next, adjust the beeper volume level to level
L1, the lowest level. Fit the beeper collar on the
dog. Select the desired beeper volume level as the
dog becomes accustomed to the beeping sound.
