Product Directions & Maintenance
Directions for Use
|
|
To attach, be sure to have your dog under control before attempting to attach lead/leash/rope. With the lead/leash/rope clear from your legs and other limbs grab the dog collar firmly and attach the lead/leash/rope by retracting bolt snap and ensuring that it is secure.
|
|
|
To operate, hold the Marine Dog® lead/leash/rope by the handle, not the lead/leash/rope. The lead/leash/rope may sag so maintain a safe and steady pace clear of any excess lead/leash/rope.
|
|
|
To walk and heal, use a firm steady grip to pull the lead/leash/rope back slowly and moderately.
|
|
|
For closer control, use the Marine Dog® healing lead. NEVER grab or pull the lead/leash/rope or wrap it around your fingers.
|
|
|
To bring your Dog nearer, extend your arm toward the dog and with a firm steady grip pull the lead/leash/rope moderately and slowly so as to not excite the dog. Repeat as necessary.
|
|
|
To detach the snap of the leash, ensure that your dog is under control and that the lead/leash/rope is clear from your legs as well as the legs of the dog. Also ensure that there are no diversions to excite the dog.
|
|
|
If wet, leave the lead/leash/rope out to dry overnight. After the lead/leash/rope is dry, set is aside in a safe place away from children. This will prevent the lead/leash/rope from causing any bodily or facial harm in a routinely high traffic area as well as keep your children safe.
|
|
|
The Marine Dog® lead/leash/rope is for use by responsible adults only.
|
Cleaning & Maintenance
|
|
Dirt and salt can cause premature wear. When exposed to these elements, wash with fresh water and allow lead/leash/rope to dry. For excess dirt and grit, mix a little mild detergent with a little fabric softener in warm water. Soak a clean sponge in the solution and lather the lead/leash/rope with sponge until the lead/leash/rope is wet … allow sitting time of 5 minutes, repeating the application again with warm water only. Allow the lead/leash/rope standing time to dry completely. Repeat process if necessary. (DO NOT submerge the product in the solution … USE ONLY a sponge or clean cloth for application).
