Detail Instructions
Step 1: Wrap fleece pad portion around toe portion of cord loop. This will add extra padding between cord and toes. Soft fleece should always be closest to dog's paw, touch fastener side should face the ground to avoid irritation.
Step 2: Spread open the No-Knuckling Training Sock (NKTS). Then wrap the NKTS around the front of Carpal joint on lower front leg. You will be centering the wrap on front of leg over the joint with label over the joint and cord fastener ideally positioned just below joint.
Step 3: Keeping cord loop free and over straps, secure touch fastener straps, starting with the top strap. Then secure bottom strap last. The bottom strap may cover the nylon cord piece.
Step 4: Place cord loop around and under middle two toes.
Step 5: Pull slowly at top of cord to tighten. Then test your dog's reaction. If there is no reaction, gradually tighten core more and test again. If you're having trouble pulling the cord taught, you may try loosening the bottom strap slightly. Once the cord is set appropriately, re-tighten the bottom strap.
Important:
*Do not wrap the NKTS too tightly, as that may interfere with circulation or limit the mobility of leg.
*Do not tighten the cord to the point where it could cause irritation or pull the toes up too far.
*Do not leave the NKTS on your pet for extended periods of time. It's designed to be a short term training tool. NKTS should be used for 2-5 minutes at the beginning of a walk and then removed. Misuse or extended wear beyond manufacture recommendations may lead to injury of the paw.
*Softest part of fleece pad should always be touching dog's skin with touch fastener edge pointing away from dog's paw.
*Placement of any brace, wrap or support on your pet may cause them to kick leg or paw trying to remove product.
*Do not leave the NKTS on pet unattended.
