Fitting the Collar on Your Dog
To prevent irritation from the contact points, remove the collar
for at least eight hours out of every 24-hour period.
This device is not intended for human use. Do not attempt to
use on any person.
In order to properly correct the dog, the collar and device must

NOTE: The collar should fit tightly and should not be able to

dog's coat.
NOTE: The contact points must have contact with the dog's
skin to be effective.

Communication with the Collar
You should keep an unobstructed line of sight between your

communication signal. To achieve the best line-of-sight
conditions, you should move to the highest elevation point in
your area (for example, on the top of a hill).
