Adjusting the Receiver Collar

Your DogWatch Hidden Fence System has been installed, the transmitter and receiver have been set to the training levels appropriate for your dog’s personality and traits, and has placed boundary flags around the perimeter of your yard. After your dog’s received initial training and you have been given reinforcement instruction, it is now your turn to continue the training/reinforcement.

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.

The collar should be worn snugly on the dog’s neck. This is extremely important!
Place no more than one thumb width between the contact post and dog’s neck.
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.
If the collar is too tight, the receiver unit will stick out to the side when the dog shakes his head.
If the collar is too loose, the dog will not receive the intended correction when he or she wanders into the Avoidance Zone.
Remember to periodically check for irritation around the dog’s neck.
DogWatch strongly recommends that the collar be removed daily.
