How to Properly Fit a Collar on Your Dog

Steps to Fit the Collar:

1. Position the Collar:

   • Place the receiver with prongs on either side of the dog's neck.
   • Ensure the collar is not on the trachea.
   • Position it right behind the ear on both sides.

2. Securing the Collar:

   • Wrap the collar around the dog's neck and fasten it through the buckle.
   • Adjust it to be fairly tight, allowing two fingers to fit under the strap.
   • This prevents the collar from rotating if the dog shakes.

3. Adjusting the Collar:

   • Slip it through the top buckle pieces.
   • Slide it back and forth to ensure it passes through the hair properly.
   • Ensure prongs are touching the skin for effective stimulus.

4. Check the Fit:

   • Have the dog sit to check the fit.
   • If the collar feels loose, tighten it by adjusting the buckle.
   • Ensure you can fit two fingers under the collar snugly for a firm fit.

Key Points:

• The prongs must touch the skin for the collar to function properly.
• The collar should be tight enough not to rotate but loose enough to allow two fingers underneath.
• Proper placement is crucial for both comfort and effectiveness.

This method ensures the collar is fitted correctly for optimal performance and comfort for the dog.
