Petsafe YardMax™ Rechargeable In-Ground Fence Add-A-Dog® Extra Receiver Collar - Manual (Page 5)

www.petsafe.net 5
This PetSafe ® In-Ground Fence ™ is not a solid barrier. This system is
designed to act as a deterrent to remind dogs by Static Correction to
remain in the boundary established. It is important that you reinforce
training with your dog on a regular basis.
Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made
too tight on the dog’s neck may cause skin damage. Ranging from
redness to pressure ulcers; this condition is commonly known as bed
sores.
- Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours
per day.
- When possible reposition the collar on the dog’s neck
every 1 to 2 hours.
- Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the
instructions in this manual.
- Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause
excessive pressure on the contacts.
- When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure
on the electronic collar.
- Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts of the collar
weekly with a damp cloth.
- Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
- If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until
the skin has healed.
- If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your
veterinarian.
