FITTING THE COLLAR

The receiver needs to be very snug around the dog's neck to work properly. A loose fit can allow the

receiver to move around on the dog's neck. The collar must be just tight enough to allow the contact

points to make good contact on your dog's skin. You may need to trim the hair in the area of the

contact points or switch to the longer contact points to ensure consistent contact. This can directly

affect the performance of the collar unit and whether or not the dog will receive the stimulation

impulses. A loose collar can also result in skin irritations. The collar should be tight enough to fit two

fingers between the collar and your dog's neck, but not so tight that it restricts your dog's breathing.

TIP

By placing the receiver on your dog's neck laterally, you will extend the range of transmission.

Using d–control training collar in winter

When using d-control in winter, please keep in mind:

Low humidity – causes less skin conductivity. It is necessary to provide better conductivity



between the electrodes of the receiver and the dog's skin. This can be achieved by lubricating the

dog's skin in the touch points of contact points with Vaseline, baby oil, hand lotion, etc.

Heavier dog's coat – it is necessary to tighten the collar so that the permanent contact with the



dog's skin is ensured. If the coat is too thick, it is recommended to choose a longer type of contact

points.

Battery properties change – temperatures below 0 °C slow down chemical reactions in batteries. To



ensure a performance of repetitive stimulations (especially of higher levels), it is recommended to

insert a new battery into the receiver for the winter time. During the training, observe continuously

dog's reactions and increase the stimulation level as needed.
