are very importantto insure safety
and correctfunctioning every time
All
electronic collars need to fit
very snuglyto 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 fmgers between the collar
belt andyour dog's neck.
Proper fit of the collarshould allowthe 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 candirectly affect whether or not the dog
will receive a correction at the right times. Always
check for good "prong'hontact
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.
FO~
proper positioning of your collar receiver box, it
should be placed on the front center of the dog's
neck.
