- Comfort: Experience a comfortable walking experience with the Leg Strap securely attached to your leg or the Waist Strap snugly fastened around your waist.
- Connection and Safety: The Armada stainless chain Connector and 1D and 2D Ring Harness provide secure connections between you and your dog, ensuring safety throughout your walk.
Safety First
- Safety should always be a priority. Obedience is paramount when considering the Leg Strap. If your dog is hyperactive or unresponsive to commands, professional training may be necessary before using this product. Resistance and potential aggression may occur if your dog refuses to obey your commands or if you change your walking routine abruptly.
- Consider your own height as the handler when using the Leg Strap or Waist Strap. Ensure that the strap is adjusted to a height that allows you to maintain control comfortably during the walk. An improper fit can affect both your stability and your dog’s comfort.
- Ensure that your dog’s height and weight align with the recommended parameters, and adjust the strap to your own height for comfortable control during walks.
How to Properly Place the Leg Strap
- Ensure a Secure Fit:
Begin by positioning the Leg Strap around your leg, making sure it’s snug but comfortable. Adjust the strap to achieve the desired fit, ensuring that it provides control without causing discomfort. - Connecting Your Dog:
Use the Armada stainless chain Connector to attach the Leg Strap securely to your dog’s harness. Double-check that the connection is secure, with no slack in the leash, for optimal control during the walk.
Limitations of the 3-in-1 Functionality
It’s important to acknowledge the limitations of the 3-in-1 functionality:
- Not Suitable for All Dogs: The Leg Strap is not suitable for hyperactive dogs or those that require expert training. Always assess your dog’s behavior and obedience level before using the Leg Strap.
- Initial Resistance: Be prepared for some resistance at the start of using the Leg Strap. Dogs may need time to adjust to this new walking routine, especially if they are used to leading the way.
