Safety Guidelines

Before Your First Use

• Please make sure your Pup Stack is fully tightened onto the base before use. If you remove the top portion of the Pup Stack to add on a weight, please tighten fully before using the Pup Stack again. There should only be a slight gap - if any - between the top portion of the Pup Stack and the weights.

Sizing

• The Pup Stack is only intended for most dogs up to 40 lbs. Please reference our Pup Stack Weight Guidelines for more information.

Supervision

• Never allow your dog to use the Pup Stack unsupervised. No dog should be left alone while connected to the Pup Stack.
• Pet parent supervision and personal judgement are required when attaching your dog to the Pup Stack.
• Do not allow the Pup Stack to be used or operated by children.

Connecting Your Dog

• For very small dogs we recommend using the locking dial at all times to avoid any tension pulling on your dog.
• Refrain from connecting your dog to the Pup Stack with a collar. Connection via a dog harness is strongly recommended.
• Do not release the locking dial while your dog is still connected to the Pup Stack to avoid any pulling. 
• When disconnecting your dog from the harness connector, the line may retract quickly. Hold the harness connector to control the line while it retracts back into the Pup Stack.

Environmental Concerns

• Never connect your dog in an area where he / she could become tangled around trees or bushes or some other object which could cause your dog harm. Use the locking dial to ensure a safe space for your dog to roam.
• Only use the Pup Stack on level ground that is free of obstructions.
• Avoid getting debris or sand within the grooves of the Pup Stack. If you use the Pup Stack on a sandy surface (the beach, for instance), be sure to place the Pup Stack on a large towel to avoid large amounts of sand being introduced into the grooves of the unit.
