Proper Fit
The receiver should be fitted so that the medical grade
stainless steel contact points press firmly against
the dog’s skin. You should be able to fit two fingers
underneath the collar strap. The best location is on
either side of the dog’s windpipe.
Improper Fit
A loose fit can allow the receiver to move around on the
dog’s neck. When this happens, the contact points may
rub against the skin and cause irritation. If the receiver
is too loose, the contact will not be consistent and cause
the corrections to be inconsistent. Dogtra uses medical
grade stainless steel contact points and anti-microbial
plastic to protect the dog’s skin.
