ADJUSTING & POSITIONING YOUR
COLLAR FOR PROPER FIT
Proper collar tightness and position
are very important to insure safety
and correct functioning every time
you use the collar.
• All electronic collars need to fit
very snugly to work properly. They
must be just tight enough to allow
the “prongs” or electrodes to make
good skin contact. In most cases, you should be able
to fit no more than two fingers between the collar
belt and your dog’s neck.
• Proper fit of the collar should allow the dog to breath
normally. The collar should never be so tight on the
dog’s neck that it restricts the dog’s normal
breathing pattern.
• If your collar is too loose, you may get inconsistent
stimulation due to improper prong contact with the
skin. This can directly affect whether or not the dog
will receive a correction at the right times. Always
check for good “prong” contact if it appears that
your dog is not responding to the stimulation.
• A loose collar can also promote skin irritation from
moving or rubbing too much on a dog’s neck while
they are running or training. A proper snug fit will
help prevent this from occurring.
• For proper positioning of your collar receiver box, it
should be placed on the front center of the dog’s
neck.
