Using this dog leash is easy. Just attach the snap to your dog's collar, and you're ready to go. When using it, make sure the snap is securely fastened to prevent your dog from getting loose. Avoid leaving the leash in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the color. To clean, simply wipe it with a damp cloth. This leash is built to last, but if you notice any signs of wear, it's best to replace it to keep your dog safe.
