Troubleshooting Tips

• Collar is not effective: Ensure the collar is properly fitted and make sure there are no barriers (like thick fur) preventing contact with the skin.
• Dog experiences skin irritation: Monitor your dog for any signs of irritation or allergic reaction. If symptoms persist, remove the collar and consult your veterinarian.
• Collar becomes loose: Check that the collar is securely fastened and adjust if necessary. The collar is designed to release under pressure for safety, so it should not be used as a leash attachment.
• Collar gets dirty or wet: The collar is water-resistant, but frequent swimming or bathing may reduce its effectiveness. If the collar is dirty, gently wipe it with a cloth.
