Wrap a measuring tape around the pet just behind the front legs. The tape should not be loose or tight
and should provide the pet with a comfortable fit. If the tape is wrapped snuggly around the pet, it may be
best to select the next size up in order to make sure the ChokeFree Shoulder Collar will be comfortable and not too tight.
It should be noted that ChokeFree is made out of leather and due to the natural characteristics of the leather, ChokeFree
will soften and become more flexible and conform to the pet's shape. It is important for ChokeFree not to
be too large once it has been worn and softened. The Shoulder Collar should be fitted such that
the pet does not have enough room to pull out of the collar. ChokeFree sizes match the circumference of the pet's
chest behind the front legs. Measurements taken behind the pet's front legs should allow for a comfortable fit and not
be tight. A good rule of thumb is to snugly measure the pet's chest circumference and add an inch to allow for comfort.
Lay the shoulder collar on a flat surface with the D-ring facing down and place the pet's front feet in
the collar's leg openings.
Pull the shoulder collar up and around the pet's legs and shoulders.
Wrap the ends of the shoulder collar together snugly by engaging the hook & loop on one end and following
through to the other end while placing the D-ring through the slotted opening.
Press both sides firmly together.
When a leash is attached to the D-ring, the shoulder collar will seal together without coming apart during
restraint.
Removal of the shoulder collar is easy.
Unhook the leash.
With one hand hold on to the collar at the top of the pet's shoulder next to the smooth side
hook and loop. With the other hand, lift up the hook side of the collar and peel the hook and loop apart.
Wearing the shoulder collar makes walking a delightful experience.
Pets that are restrained with the shoulder collar do not gag or cough while being controlled with a leash.
Unlike conventional neck collars and harnesses, the shoulder collar allows the owner to have full control
of the pet, but the shoulder collar does not make contact with the neck area that causes the pet to gag and choke when
pulling against a control leash.
