Groomers Helper is a revolutionary pet safety and positioning system that gently holds the pet in place on the grooming table, restricting range of movement. Whether you need to stay focused to clip around a dog's eyes or need both hands free to cut nails, the easy-to-assemble system eliminates the pet’s ability and desire to struggle, sit, dance around, drop its head or leap off the table. In addition to increasing safety, the time needed to complete a groom is reduced substantially. Flexible assembly adjusts to fit three different configurations, making it versatile enough to help tackle everything from dematting coats to clipping nails.
The Groomers Helper Starter Set consists of a durable steel clamp and grooming loop and directions to comprehensive training videos. Suitable for grooming tables equipped with a pole and extended arm. Clamp will fit 1.3 to 3cm grooming arms.
Description
The Groomers Helper system virtually eliminates the hazards to both the pet and groomer by preventing biting, calming the pet and impeding its leaping off the table. It also reduces needing a second groomer to assist with difficult tasks such as clipping nails, and greatly reduces the time required for grooming because the animal is gently held in position and unable – and therefore disinclined – to constantly move around.
Specifications
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 1.3 to 3cm. 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.
CAUTION: Do not leave a pet in restraints unattended. Do not allow a pet to struggle in restraints. If a pet does not calm down, release it immediately. Do not put your hands in front of the pet's muzzle, where it can be bitten.
