So a couple of nights ago Bones went out just before bedtime and decided to play with a skunk. He got sprayed on the side of the face, neck & ear and his collars took a hit, too. The contain & train collar is a soft, pliable plastic with a radio receiver unit, all water proof. The center is two pieces and has a very tight joint, shown by the blue/gray interface, and the flexible ends are on shouldered screws.

Does anyone know how to get "Eau De Skunk" out of such a unit? It's obvious that the oily spray got into the recesses. Things that don't work are soaking in the H peroxide, baking soda, dishwashing soap, club soda mix that works for the dog; scrubbing with straight dishwashing soap; mineral spirits, brake cleaner, denatured alcohol; soaking in bleach & water; and WD40. The picture's not great, but you can see the construction joint. The blue/gray parts cannot be disassembled without rendering the collar ineffective and voiding the return credit when the batteries are gone. Innotek is actually sending me a new collar as a courtesy under warranty, but I'm sure this could happen again ..... The aroma is diminished, but definitely still present.
