Adjusting the Receiver Collar

Your DogWatch Dealer has installed your DogWatch Hidden Fence System, set the transmitter and receiver to the training levels appropriate for your dog’s personality and traits, and has placed boundary flags around the perimeter of your yard. Your Dealer has already begun your dog’s first day of containment training. Now it is your turn to continue the training.

Before you begin containment training with your dog, be sure to place the DogWatch receiver collar on your dog’s neck before you go outside.

1. The collar should be worn snugly on the dog’s neck. This is extremely important!
2. Place no more than one thumb width between the contact post and dog’s neck.
3. When checking snugness of collar, the dog’s neck should be facing down (sniffing position) as this is where the dog’s neck is the smallest.
4. If the collar is too tight, the receiver unit will stick out to the side when the dog shakes his head.
5. If the collar is too loose, the dog will not receive the intended correction when he or she wanders into the Avoidance Zone.
6. Remember to periodically check for irritation around the dog’s neck.
7. DogWatch strongly recommends that the collar be removed daily and when the dog is inside the house.
