Step 3 Step 3
Fit the Receiver Collar
Important: The proper fit and placement of your Receiver Collar is important for effective
operation. The Contact Points must have direct contact with your dog’s skin on the
underside of his neck.
To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the Receiver Collar is turned off.
2. Start with your dog standing comfortably (
3A).
3. Place the Receiver Collar on your dog’s neck close to the ears. Center
the Contact Points underneath your dog’s neck, touching the skin ( 3B).
Note: It is sometimes necessary to trim the hair around the Contact Points to
make sure that contact is consistent.
Do not shave the pet’s neck as this may
increase the risk of skin irritation.
4. Check the tightness of the Receiver Collar by inserting
one finger between the collar and your dog’s neck ( 3C).
The fit should be snug but not constricting.
5. Allow your dog to wear the Receiver Collar for several
minutes then recheck the fit. Check the fit again
as your dog becomes more comfortable with the
Receiver Collar.
6. Trim the collar as follows: ( 3D)
a. Mark the desired length of the collar with a pen.
Allow for growth if your dog is young or grows a
thick winter coat.
b. Remove the Bark Control Collar from your dog and
cut off excess.
c. Before placing the Bark Control Collar back onto
your dog, seal the edge of the cut collar by applying
a flame along the frayed edge.
The Receiver Collar should not be worn
for more than 12 hours out of every
24-hour period. Leaving the collar on too
long could lead to skin irritation. Please
refer to page 2 for additional information.
