Fitting The Collar On The Dog
The collar should be fitted so that the
stainless steel contact points press firmly against
the dog’s skin.
A loose fit can allow the collar to move
around on the dog’s neck. When this happen the
contact points may rub the skin and cause
irritation. If the collar is too loose, electrical
contact will be inconsistent and your corrections
will be inconsistent also.
