Using this dog collar is a breeze. Just slip it around your dog's neck and adjust the buckle to fit comfortably. Make sure it's not too tight or too loose. When cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the collar. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the leather. Store the collar in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition. And always check the collar regularly for any signs of wear and tear, especially if your dog is very active.
