3. Fitting the Collar
Proper fit is crucial for effective and safe operation. The contact points must make direct contact with your dog's skin.

- Place the collar around your dog's neck, ensuring the receiver is positioned centrally under the chin or on the side of the neck.
- Adjust the strap so that you can comfortably fit two fingers between the collar and your dog's neck. It should be snug but not tight.
- For dogs with thick fur, use the longer contact points to ensure skin contact.

If your dog has very sensitive skin, consider using the silicone conductive caps over the contact points.
