Fitting the Collar on Your Dog
Before you can put the collar on the dog, you must pair the
handheld device and collar (Adding a Dog Over MURS/VHF),
and acquire satellite signals (Acquiring Satellite Signals).
1
Position the collar with the VHF whip antenna pointing up,
the GPS antenna facing up, and the LEDs facing forward.
2
Place the collar around the middle of the dog's neck.
3
Tighten the strap so it is snug around the dog's neck.
NOTE: The collar should fit tightly and should not be able to
rotate or slide on the dog's neck. The dog must be able to
swallow food and water normally. You should observe your
dog's behavior to verify the collar is not too tight.
4
If the strap is too long, cut off the excess, leaving at least
3 in. (7.62 cm) to spare.
Enabling Bark Detection
NOTE: This feature is not available in all areas.
Select Setup > Dogs > Bark Detection.
A barking icon appears on the dog tracking page and the map
page.
When the dog collar device is active and properly fitted on the
dog (Fitting the Collar on Your Dog), it detects barks
automatically. After bark detection is enabled, you can set up a
bark alert (Setting Dog Alerts).
Communication with the Collar
You should keep an unobstructed line of sight between your
handheld device and the dog collar device to produce the best
communication signal. To achieve the best line-of-sight
conditions, you should move to the highest elevation point in
your area (for example, on the top of a hill).

Dog Tracking
The handheld device allows you to track your dog, using the
tracking compass or map. The map displays your location and
your dog's location and tracks. The compass pointer indicates
the direction of the dog's current location.
Tracking Your Dog on the Map
Before you can track a dog or contact on the map, you must
add them to the handheld device (Adding a Dog Over
MURS/VHF and Adding a Contact Using MURS/VHF).
You can view the dog's location and other contacts' locations on
the map.

being trained.
