The Receiver Collar has 
injured my pet’s neck.
• Failing to follow the important safety information at the 
front of the Operating and Training Guide has caused 
pressure ulcers.  Some descriptions of advanced pressure 
ulcers describe the sores as looking like burns on the 
dog’s neck. Be assured that electronic collars do not use 
enough energy to create electrical burns. The energy in 
an output pulse is only a few thousandths of a Joule; it is 
similar in nature to the static pulse that you may feel when 
getting out of your car.  In some cases, pressure ulcers 
are described as chemical burns.  The battery in your 
Receiver Collar is sealed, in addition, your collar’s housing 
is also sealed.  This redundant sealing makes it virtually 
impossible, without misuse or abuse, for your Receiver 
Collar battery to leak onto your pet’s neck. Please review 
and follow the important safety information on page 2, 
and the instructions in Step 6 under the heading “Fit the 
Receiver Collar” on pages 13 and 14.
