Using this leash is super easy. Simply slip it around your dog's neck and you're ready to go. There's no need to worry about using a separate collar. When walking your dog, hold the leash firmly by the rope snap for a good grip. Remember, even though the leash is durable, don't let your dog pull too hard on it for long periods as it may wear out the material faster. After each use, give the leash a quick check for any signs of damage. To keep it clean, you can wipe it down with a damp cloth. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its color and reflective properties. Enjoy walking your dog with this convenient and stylish leash!
