Fit the Receiver Collar

Important: The proper fit and placement of your Receiver Collar is important for effective training. The

Contact Points must have direct contact with your cat’s skin on the underside of his neck.

To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:

1. Make sure that the batteries are not installed in the Receiver Collar.

2.฀Start฀with฀your฀cat฀standing฀comfortably฀(9A).

3. Centre the Contact Points underneath your cat’s neck, touching the skin. Note: It is

sometimes necessary to trim the hair around the Contact Points to make sure that contact

is consistent.

4. Check the tightness of the Receiver Collar by inserting one

finger between the end of a Contact Point and your cat’s

neck.฀The฀fit฀should฀be฀snug฀but฀not฀constricting฀(9B).

5. Allow your cat to wear the collar for several minutes then

recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your cat becomes

more comfortable with the Receiver Collar.

6.฀Trim฀the฀collar฀as฀follows฀(9C):

a. Mark the desired length of the Receiver Collar with a

pen. Allow for growth if your cat is young or grows a

thick winter coat.

b. Remove the Receiver Collar from your cat and cut off

the excess.

c. Before placing the Receiver Collar back onto your cat, seal

the edge of the cut collar by applying a flame along the

frayed edge.

Important: For comfort, safety and effectiveness of product, please ensure the following:

•฀During฀the฀rst฀2฀weeks฀of฀training,฀do฀not฀use฀the฀training฀device฀on฀your฀pet฀without฀

direct supervision.

•฀Your฀pet’s฀neck฀and฀the฀Contact฀Points฀must฀be฀washed฀weekly with a wash cloth and mild hand soap,

then rinsed thoroughly.

CAUTION

A condition called Pressure Necrosis, which is a devitalization of the skin due to excessive and

prolonged contact against the contact points, may occur if the steps above are not followed.

The system should only be used with pets who are over 6 months of age. If your pet is injured or its

mobility is otherwise impaired, contact your veterinarian or professional trainer before use.

CAUTION

Do not attach a lead to the collar. This can result in pulling the Contact Points too tightly

against your pet’s neck. Attach a lead to a separate, non-metallic collar or harness, making sure the

extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
