Collar Fitting - Dogtra PATHFINDER Bedienungsanleitung

COLLAR FITTING

Proper Fit
The collar should be fitted so that the surgical stainless steel contact points
press firmly against the dog's skin. You should be able to fit a finger in between
the contact point and your dog's skin. The best location is on either side of the
dog's windpipe.
Improper Fit
A loose fit can allow the collar to move around on the dog's neck. When this
happens, the contact points may rub against the skin and cause irritation. If the
collar is too loose, the contact will not be consistent and cause the corrections
to be inconsistent. Dogtra uses surgical stainless steel contact points and
anti-microbial plastic to protect the dog's skin.
Attention!
Leaving the receiver/collar in the same location on the dog's neck for an
extended period of time can cause skin irritation. If the dog is to wear
the e-collar for long periods, occasionally reposition the collar so that the
contact points are moved to a different location on the dog's neck. Make
sure you check for skin irritation each time you use the unit.

Finding the Right Stimulation
• Open the PATHFINDER app to the E-Collar tab and select your dog and
stimulation level.
• The stimulation levels are from 1 (lowest) to 100 (highest).
• Always start at the lowest level of stimulation and work your way up.
• The appropriate level can be found when your dog responds to the stimulation
with a mild reaction, such as a tensing of the neck muscles.
Note: Every dog has a different tolerance and reaction to the stimulation. Please
look at your dog's reaction to find the right level of stimulation. The stimulation
level may vary depending on the situation and distractions. A distracted dog will
require a higher level of stimulation compared to when there is no distraction.
