Fit the Receiver Collar
Important: The proper fit and placement of your Receiver Collar is
important for effective training. The Contact Points must have direct
contact with your pet’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. Have your pet 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. Note: It is sometimes necessary to trim
the hair around the Contact Points to make sure that contact
is consistent. Longer Contact Points are available from the
Customer Care Center.
Do not shave the pet’s neck as this
may increase the risk of skin irritation.
4. The Receiver Collar should fit snugly, yet loose enough
to allow one finger to fit between the strap and your pet’s
neck ( 3C).
5. Allow your pet to wear the collar for several minutes then
recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your pet 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 pet is young or grows a thick winter coat.
b. Remove the Receiver Collar from your pet and cut off
the excess. Important: Do not cut the part of the
collar containing the Antenna on the PDT00-13410
Little Dog Remote Trainer.
c. Before placing the Receiver Collar back onto your pet,
seal the edge of the cut collar by applying a flame along
the frayed edge.

Risk of skin damage. For comfort, safety and effectiveness of this product, please ensure
that you check the fit of your pet’s collar frequently. If any skin irritation is observed,
discontinue the use of the collar for a few days. If the condition persists beyond 48 hours,
see your veterinarian.
Do not attach a leash to the Remote Trainer. This can result in pulling the Contact Points
too tightly against your pets neck. You may put a separate non-metallic collar on your
dog’s neck and attach a leash. Do use a harness for attaching a leash and/or tags while
using the Remote Trainer.
Please refer to page 2 for additional information.
To Re-Thread the Collar
Ridges
Slide Buckle
The slide buckle prevents the collar from
becoming loose around your pet’s neck.
The ridges must be facing up; the collar will slip if
it is not properly threaded.
