Please read and follow the fitting instructions in this manual. Proper fit of the receiver collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on a
pet's neck may cause skin damage, ranging from redness to pressure ulcers. This condition is commonly known as bed sores.
•
Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
•
When possible reposition the collar on the pet's neck every 1 to 2 hours.
•
Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.
•
Never connect a lead to the receiver collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contact points.
•
When using a separate collar for a lead, do not put pressure on the collar.
•
Wash the dog's neck area and the contact points of the collar weekly with a damp cloth.
•
Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
•
If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed.
•
If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

You may need to trim the hair in the area of the contact points. However, never shave the dog's neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
Fit the Collar
To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:
1. Start with the collar turned off and your dog standing comfortably, not sitting (11A).
2. Place the collar on your dog's neck with the contact points touching the skin and the
Free Spirit
logo facing up.
™
3. Inserting one finger between the collar and your dog's neck to check the tightness. The fit
should be snug but not constricting.
4. Allow your dog to wear the training collar for several minutes then recheck the fit. Check
the fit again as your dog becomes more comfortable with the receiver collar. Please note
that it is sometimes necessary to trim the hair around the contact points to make sure
that contact is consistent. However, you should never shave your pet's neck as this may
increase risk of skin irritation.
5. Once you are satisfied with the fit of the collar, remove it from your pet and trim it, but
make sure to leave room for growth or a thicker winter coat. Use a lighter to seal the collar
so that it will not fray.
