Using this dog leash is super easy. Just clip it onto your dog's collar, and you're ready to head out. When using it, make sure the clip is securely fastened to avoid any accidental escapes. Also, don't let your dog pull too hard on the leash for a long time, as it may put extra stress on the hardware. To keep the leash in good condition, after each use, wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Store it in a dry place when not in use. If you notice any signs of wear, like fraying or loose stitching, it's time to get a new one.
