For Proper Fit - D.T.Systems BOSS Bark Owner's Manual

Adjusting & Positioning Your Bark BOSS

for Proper Fit

Proper collar tightness and position are very important to ensure
safety and correct functioning every time you use the collar.
·
All electronic collars need to be very snug to work properly. They
must be just tight enough to allow the "prongs" or electrodes to
make good skin contact down past your dog's neck hair. Usually
the two finger rule (two fingers fitting tightly under collar) helps.
·
If your collar is too loose, the stimulation may not work properly
because good skin contact is not being achieved. This can directly
affect the stimulation performance and whether or not the dog will
receive the stimulation. Always check for good "prong" contact if
it appears that your dog is not responding to the stimulation.
·
A loose collar can promote skin irritation when the collar moves or
rubs too much on a dog's neck. The proper snug fit will help
prevent this from occurring.
·
Proper fit of the collar is important. It should be just tight enough
on the dog's neck to make good skin contact and allow the 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.
·
For proper positioning of your collar box, it should be placed on
the center of the dog's neck facing forward. (see picture below).
·
For how to adjust the collar strap, see picture below.
To adjust the tightness & position of the collar
Proper collar tightness is extremely
important. If the collar is too loose, it will
not function properly, and if the collar is too
tight, the dog
will have
difficulty
breathing.
