Simple Instructions:
To Begin Your Walk:
- Attach the leash hook to the d-ring of your dog’s collar or harness. Make sure that the hook is fully closed
- To allow your dog some reign, press the front (release) button. The leash will freely extend and retract while the leash is unlocked
- To stop the leash, press the back (brake) button. This automatically locks the leash
- To release again, press the front button
- The more you are able to walk with the leash freely extending and retracting, the more you and your dog will enjoy your walk. However safety should always be first so, when in doubt, retract and lock
To Bring Your Dog Closer To You:
- Extend your arm toward your dog and press the brake (back) button
- Move towards your dog as you bring your arm down to your side
- Release the leash by pressing the front button and swing your arm towards your dog and press the back (brake) button again. Lower your arm to your side as you move towards your dog
- Each time you do this you will bring your dog an arm’s length closer to you
- Repeat until your dog is as close to you as you desire
Detaching The Leash:
- Your dog should be under control when you are detaching the leash, and the leash should be fully retracted before you unhook from the collar or harness
If The Ribbon Tape Gets Wet:
- Pull the tape out to it’s full 16 foot length. Lay as flat as possible. Leave it to dry out of reach of children and pets. When the tape is dry carefully and slowly retract the leash into the leash casing
