SportDOG NOBARK 10R Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 3

Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Proper fit of the collar is
important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on the dog's neck may cause
skin damage. This is called bed sores; it is also called decubitus ulcers or
pressure necrosis.
• Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible, reposition the collar on the dog's neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in
this manual.
• Never connect a lead to the Collar Receiver; it will cause excessive pressure on
the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, don't put pressure on the
electronic collar.
• Wash the dog's neck area and the contacts of the 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 collar until the skin has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

These steps will help keep your dog safe and comfortable. Millions of dogs are
comfortable while they wear stainless steel contacts. Some dogs are sensitive to
contact pressure. You may find after some time that your dog is very tolerant of the
collar. If so, you may relax some of these precautions. It is important to continue
daily checks of the contact area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use until
the skin has fully healed.
• You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points or switch to the
longer Contact Points to ensure consistent contact. Never shave the dog's neck;
this may lead to a rash or infection.
• You should not make the collar any tighter than is required for good contact. A
collar that is too tight will increase the risk of pressure necrosis in the
contact area.
