Using this leash is simple. Just attach it to your pet's collar and you're ready to go on walks. When using, make sure the attachment is secure to prevent your pet from getting loose. For maintenance, since it's easy to clean, you can just wipe it down with a damp cloth after use. If it gets really dirty, you can wash it with mild soap and water. Store it in a dry place to keep it in good condition and prevent any potential damage from moisture or mildew.
