A. The collar should be loose underneath at the throat. Tighten it just snug enough so that the lifting mechanism (the curved black plastic piece) engages the depression on the midline between the jaws (behind the hyoid bone). Ask your veterinarian to help you identify this landmark. Then tighten the figure-8 portion snugly so that the larynx is pulled forward.
