Using this leash is easy. Just attach the high - tensile strength aluminum snap to your dog's collar. When taking your dog on outdoor adventures, the leash will keep your dog dry and comfortable thanks to the moisture - wicking bamboo. For maintenance, you can simply wipe it down with a damp cloth if it gets dirty. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the bamboo. If the leash gets wet, let it air - dry. Always check the snap regularly to make sure it's in good condition for your dog's safety.
