Product Directions & Maintenance

 

Directions for Use

 

To attach, be sure to have your dog under control before attempting to attach lead/leash/rope.  With the lead/leash/rope clear from your legs and other limbs grab the dog collar firmly and attach the lead/leash/rope by retracting bolt snap and ensuring that it is secure.

 

To operate, hold the Marine Dog® lead/leash/rope by the handle, not the lead/leash/rope.  The lead/leash/rope may sag so maintain a safe and steady pace clear of any excess lead/leash/rope.

 

To walk and heal, use a firm steady grip to pull the lead/leash/rope back slowly and moderately.

 

For closer control, use the Marine Dog® healing lead.  NEVER grab or pull the lead/leash/rope or wrap it around your fingers.

 

To bring your Dog nearer, extend your arm toward the dog and with a firm steady grip pull the lead/leash/rope moderately and slowly so as to not excite the dog.  Repeat as necessary.

 

To detach the snap of the leash, ensure that your dog is under control and that the lead/leash/rope is clear from your legs as well as the legs of the dog.  Also ensure that there are no diversions to excite the dog.

 

If wet, leave the lead/leash/rope out to dry overnight.  After the lead/leash/rope is dry, set is aside in a safe place away from children.  This will prevent the lead/leash/rope from causing any bodily or facial harm in a routinely high traffic area as well as keep your children safe.

 

The Marine Dog® lead/leash/rope is for use by responsible adults only.

 

Cleaning & Maintenance

 

Dirt and salt can cause premature wear.  When exposed to these elements, wash with fresh water and allow lead/leash/rope to dry.  For excess dirt and grit, mix a little mild detergent with a little fabric softener in warm water.  Soak a clean sponge in the solution and lather the lead/leash/rope with sponge until the lead/leash/rope is wet … allow sitting time of 5 minutes, repeating the application again with warm water only.  Allow the lead/leash/rope standing time to dry completely.  Repeat process if necessary.  (DO NOT submerge the product in the solution … USE ONLY a sponge or clean cloth for application).

 

To clean bolt snaps, O-ring and clamps, a metal polish and cleanser is recommended.

 

DO NOT attempt to repair the Marine Dog® lead or lead as it may impair it's ability to perform.  Please contact Marine Dog ® at 1-516-805-5801 for product support or troubleshooting.
