2. Attaching Contact Points
Select the appropriate contact points based on your dog's coat length. Use shorter points for short-haired dogs and longer points for long-haired dogs to ensure proper skin contact.
- Screw the chosen contact points onto the receiver.
- Ensure the rubber covers are placed over the contact points for comfort and to prevent irritation.

3. Fitting the Collar
Proper fit is crucial for effectiveness and comfort.
- Place the receiver on the center of your dog's throat, with the contact points touching the skin.
- Adjust the strap so it is snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit one finger comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck.
- Trim any excess strap length if necessary.
