Using your Digby and Fox Padded Leather Dog Lead is super easy. Just clip the swivel trigger clip onto your dog's collar. Make sure to hold the lead by the hand loop for a comfortable and secure grip. When using, keep an eye on the clip to ensure it stays attached. As for maintenance, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth regularly to keep it clean. Avoid exposing the lead to excessive moisture or direct sunlight for long periods, as this can damage the leather. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.
