pressure ulcers. This condition is commonly known as bed sores.

• When possible reposition the collar on a pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Regularly recheck the t to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this guide.
• Never connect a leash to the receiver collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contact points.
• When connecting a leash to a separate collar, do not allow it to put pressure on the receiver collar.
• Wash the pet ’s neck area and the contact points of the receiver collar weekly with a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the receiver collar until the skin has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

How It Works
The Free Spirit® Bark Collar is used to subdue excessive barking by emit ting a shock correction that progressively increases after each bark until the barking
stops. When your dog barks, the collar emits a shock correction at the lowest level. If the barking continues, the collar will escalate the intensity of the shock
correction until the dog stops barking. The collar continues to analyze your dog’s behavior and will automatically raise or lower the intensity to appropriate level.
To assure a proper t, please follow these s teps:
1. Start with the collar turned off and your dog standing comfortably, not sit ting.
2. Place the training collar on your dog’s neck with the contact points touching the skin.
3. Inser t one nger bet ween the collar and your dog’s neck to check the tightness. The t should be snug but not constric ting.
4. Allow your dog to wear the training collar for several minutes, then recheck the t. Check the t again as your dog becomes more comfortable with the
training collar.
NOTE: It is sometimes necessary to trim the hair around the contact area to make sure that contact is consistent. However, you should never shave your pet’s
neck as this may increase risk of skin irritation.
You may need to use the long contact points if your dog has long or thick fur. Use the test light tool to loosen/tighten the contact points as needed.
