you may need to thin it in the area where
the receiver rests so that the contact
points can reach his skin.
Don’t leave an e-collar on a dog longer

their skin. A “rule of thumb” is to take
it off for at least 8 hours out of every 24

it off for longer than that. Examine your
dog’s neck for redness when you take the
collar off. Don’t use an e-collar on a dog
who has signs of skin irritation.

you’ll get poor results in your e-collar
training.
Place the e-collar high on your dog’s neck with the
collar box underneath his chin and facing forward.
