NEVER LEAVE AN ANIMAL IN RESTRAINTS UNATTENDED AND NEVER ALLOW AN ANIMAL TO STRUGGLE IN RESTRAINTS. IF THEY DO NOT CALM DOWN RELEASE THEM IMMEDIATELY.

Please read the directions thoroughly before using the Groomers Helper® system.

ONLY USE AS MUCH RESTRAINT AS IS NECESSARY TO CALM THE ANIMAL AND THEN RELEASE THE RESTRAINT AS SOON AS THE ANIMAL CALMS. ONLY USE AS MUCH RESTRAINT AS IS NECESSARY TO SECURE THE ANIMAL TO ACCOMPLISH THE TASK UNDERTAKEN AND THEN RELEASE THE RESTRAINT AS SOON AS THE TASK IS ACCOMPLISHED.

Installing And Using The Groomers Helper®

STEP 1. Place the Groomers Helper® Clamp around your grooming arm and tighten it at the appropriate height. NOTE: The Groomers Helper® Clamp has been designed to fit square and round grooming arms from 3/4″ to 1″. The tether (rope) should face the pet and the adjusting knob should face you. If you are right-handed the slide button should be to your right. Left-handed the slide button should be on your left.

STEP 2. Attach the Groomers Helper® Loop to the pet. The loop should fit snugly around the neck. Use the stainless steel cam lock to size down the loop to the back of the pet’s neck. You should be able to get two fingers between the loop and the pet’s neck. In the event of an emergency such as a seizure, you may release the pet immediately by using the quick release buckle on the loop.

STEP 3. Spin the loop around and connect it to the top of the grooming arm.

STEP 4. Attach the tether to the D-Ring on the Groomers Helper® Loop.

STEP 5. Adjust the arm’s height so that the pet is standing normally with just a little slack. You can now pull the tether (rope) in gently, bringing the pet closer to the arm and lock the slide button when you reach the desired distance from the grooming arm. The Groomers Helper® pulls the loop away from the pet’s trachea, eliminating choking.

NOTE: At first, use with a calm pet so you can become acquainted with your Groomers Helper®. You may develop a rapport with them by gently pulling in the tether. You will feel that they are pulling back, which is their natural instinct. Let them pull back and think they won the “Tug-of-War” before you lock the tether. They usually calm down after the second or third “win” and you are now playing with them. It is easy to now make friends. Most pets respond favorably and calm down when they realize they are in restraints and not fighting you. As the pet calms down you may release more and more, until almost no restraint is needed. For general grooming let the pet just relax with slack in the tether. Only enough slack so they cannot chew the tether.

Using The Different Pet Positioning Options

FIRST POSITION
For general grooming so the pet cannot hang himself. Also, the pet cannot back off, jump off, fall off, or tip the table over. You are now grooming hands-free. You can do nails with one groomer on most dogs. No more spinners.

SECOND POSITION
By placing the Groomers Helper® by the muzzle of the pet they cannot drop their heads so de-matting the chest and legs is much easier. No more head-droppers.

THIRD POSITION
By placing the Groomers Helper® above the dog's head you can now quickly muzzle the dog to remove a matt or eye debris.

NO GROOMING ARM
The no grooming arm in front for better top knots and better beards is attained with the extra arm and clamp set.

TRI-TIE POSITION
The Tri-tie position needs the extra clamp and arm set and another Groomers Helper®. No more head bobblers.

NO-SIT POSITION
By mounting the arm and clamp at the opposite end of the table, you can now put the Groomers Helper® around the dog's waist as shown. Now the dog is unable to sit and there is minimal equipment that gets in the way.
