    Contact Points 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 which may cause irritation to the skin. If the collar is too loose, electrical contact will be inconsistent and your corrections will be inconsistent as well.
