TO ATTACH LEASH:

When your dog is calm, attach the leash clasp to the ring of your dog's collar.

TO OPERATE:

Hold the ADAPT-O-LEASH® by the handle, not the cord or any other part of the leash. If it is held properly then it should move freely in and out of the housing. To prevent injuries from tripping or falling do not leave the Daisy Anchor in the ground or lying around when not in use. Put it away in a safe place.

TO SET LEASH LENGTH:

When leash is retracted, simply slide the length option button to desired length. The approximate settings are; 1=4', 2=8', 3=12', and 4=16'.

TO BRING YOU DOG NEARER:
