Fitting a Collar:
To ensure the safe and effective operation of the system, it is important
to make sure that the Collar is fitted properly.
1. Be sure your dog is safely within the Roaming Area and the
Correction Level is set to Tone Only.
2. With your dog standing comfortably, position the Collar high
on your dog’s neck, underneath the chin with the Probes facing
upward and centered on your dog’s neck. The Havahart
®
logo
should be right side up when you look at your dog.
3. Make sure the Probes maintain contact with skin.
• Collar is factory installed with long Probes for thick or
long-haired breeds.
• Short Probes for short-haired dogs are included
• To change the Probes, simply unscrew the long Probes and
replace them. Be sure the rubber washer is between the
Probe and the Grey Battery Housing. Use your fingers to
tighten the Probes as far as you can. Do not over tighten.
4. Adjust the Collar to fit snugly but not tightly. You should be able
to slide the tip of one finger between your dog’s coat and one
of the Probes on the Collar. The tip of your finger should not be
able to slip between the two easily, but with some effort. It
should be a tight squeeze (see Illustration I). Separately, you should
be able to slide one finger between the strap of the Collar and the
back of your dog’s neck.
5. Once the Collar is adjusted to the correct length, remove
the Collar and trim the excess using scissors (see Illustration J).
The Collar should be snug enough so that
it does not move when your dog moves.
To help prevent skin irritation, it is
recommended that you never leave
the Collar on your dog for more than
12 consecutive hours at a time.
If you do not remove the Collar from
your dog’s neck at least every 12 hours
AND clean your dog’s neck and the
Collar, Pressure Necrosis may occur
which is a deterioration of your dog’s
skin. It is caused by extended contact
to the pressure of the Probes of the
Collar combined with the oil and dirt
that may accumulate on the Probes if
not kept clean.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE
!
NOTE: If your dog is going to continue to grow or grows a
long winter coat, leave extra room before trimming off
the excess.
NOTE: It may be necessary to trim the hair around the
Probes to ensure reliable contact.
Important Collar Safety Guidelines:
1. During training, do not let your
dog wear the Collar without direct
supervision.
2. Each time you take the Collar off your
dog, look for any indication of a sore or
rash.
3. Should you find any indication of a sore
or rash on your dog, stop using the
Collar for a few days.
4. If the rash or sore exists for more than 2
days, consult your veterinarian.
5. Wash your dog’s neck weekly with
mild soap and a wash cloth and then
rinse clean.
6. Wash the Probes of the Collar weekly
with mild soap and a wash cloth and
then rinse clean.
