WORKING THE DOG
WITH THE SPORTSMAN
Collar Positioning.
The receiver should be
positioned in the center
of the dog’s neck with
the strap about halfway
between his ears and
his shoulders. Be sure
that the red LED is
facing forward so you
can see it. This also
properly positions the
internal antenna for
maximum range.
Collar Tightness.
The collar should fit
snugly with the contact
points touching the dog’s
skin at all times. A loose-
fitting collar can cause
inconsistent stimulation,
which interferes with
the dog’s learning.
Tighten the collar by
holding the buckle with
the forefinger and thumb
of one hand while you
draw the strap tight
with the other hand. Don’t put any fingers under the
collar strap as you tighten it. Slip the free end of the
collar strap through both the D-ring and the plastic
keeper to keep it out of the way.
If it seems that the dog is not feeling stimulation every
time you press the button, try tightening the collar
strap one more notch. Also, try wiggling the receiver
on the dog’s neck to better seat the contact points
through his coat.
