Learn how to fit the CPAD-005 Short Point Barkless Comfort Pad to your BP-504 and decide when its shorter brass points suit short-coated dogs.

Quick answer

Fit the CPAD-005 Short Point Barkless Comfort Pad to your BP-504 when your dog has short, single-coated fur and the standard points feel too sharp or concentrated. Swap it in place of the existing comfort pad, check the contact points sit evenly against the skin, and remove it if you see persistent irritation.

Why the short point design matters for short-coated dogs

The CPAD-005 uses brass points that are shorter than a standard pad, which spreads stimulation over a wider surface area instead of concentrating it on a few tips. That matters most for dogs with short, single-coated fur, where the coat offers little cushioning between the contact point and the skin.

If your dog has a thicker double coat or a long coat, a short point pad may not reach the skin reliably. In that case, keep the standard pad or check with E-Collar Technologies before switching.

When to replace your Barkless comfort pad

Replace the comfort pad when the points look worn, bent, or corroded, or when your dog shows signs of discomfort such as flinching, scratching at the collar, or redness at the contact area. A fresh CPAD-005 restores a consistent contact surface and is easier to clean than a worn pad.

Do not use the short point pad as a fix for a poor fit elsewhere. If the collar is loose or the receiver is not sitting correctly, address that first, because a shorter point will not compensate for a moving collar.

What to check before you fit it

Confirm your receiver is a BP-504 Barkless Pro, because the CPAD-005 is made for that model. Check the existing pad and the receiver threads for debris or damage, and have a soft cloth and mild soap ready for cleaning.

If your dog has a history of skin irritation from contact points, review the general guidance on preventing and fixing skin irritation before you switch pads, and introduce the new pad during a calm, low-distraction session.

Fitting the CPAD-005 in five steps

Power down and remove the receiver: Turn off the BP-504 and take it off your dog before changing any pad. Common mistake: fitting a new pad while the collar is still on the dog, which makes it hard to check alignment and risks a surprise correction. Work on a stable surface with the receiver off the dog.
Remove the old comfort pad: Unscrew or unclip the existing pad according to your BP-504 setup, and set the screws or retaining parts aside in a small dish. Checkpoint: if the old pad is stuck or the threads look damaged, stop and contact E-Collar Technologies rather than forcing it. Keep small parts contained so they are not lost during the swap.
Clean and inspect the receiver: Wipe the receiver contact area with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let it dry fully. Common mistake: fitting the new pad onto a damp or dirty surface, which can trap moisture and debris. Dry the receiver completely before mounting the new pad.
Seat the CPAD-005 and tighten evenly: Align the short point pad with the receiver and tighten the retaining screws or clips evenly, alternating sides so the pad sits flat. Checkpoint: the pad should not wobble or sit at an angle when you press gently on the points. An evenly seated pad is the main safeguard against uneven skin pressure.
Check the fit on your dog and monitor: Place the receiver on your dog, check that the points rest against the skin without pressing hard, and watch the contact area for the first few sessions. Common mistake: assuming a shorter point pad needs a tighter collar; keep the collar at the same snugness you used before. If you see redness or flinching, remove the pad and reassess the fit before continuing.
