1. Begin by placing
the long body/chest strap
around the dog.
As
seen
above, t his long body/chest strap loop
should
be
in a
straight
line from
across the chest to across the
hind
end at the
widest part.
Make
sure the
logo
is centered at the
front of
the chest.
The
loop should
be
snug, but
not tight.
You
should
be able
to slide
your hand between
the
strap and the
dog. At
this time you can
adjust
the
hoop and
loop between the chest
and
long
body
straps, one side at
a time.
Make sure your
adjustments
overlap
equally on both sides.

2.
Attach
the
shoulder strap
that
you had set aside. (Usually
the
longer of the two)
The
shoulder
strap attaches on both sides of
the dog. Start o
n
one side and lay over
the
base of
the
neck and
attach to the
opposite
side.
The shoulder strap should be
snug
enough to hold the
long
body
strap in a straight line and keep the chest strap
in
place.
Reas-
sess position of straps following activity and adjust as
needed.
3. The next
step is attaching the hip
strap. The
hip strap attach-
es on both sides
of the dog.
Start on
one
side
and lay over the
back
of the
dog and
attach
to the opposite
side.
The
hip
strap
has
to
be
far enough forward
that
it
doesn't slide towards
the
tail when the
dog
is in
motion. The hip
strap keeps the long
body strap
in
a
straight line.
4.
Now add the ~elly strap.
The
belly strap
will
fit around the
dog
where the belly starts to
get
narrower,
toward
the
hind
legs.
The
belly strap should fit over the last true
ribs.
Begin
by
attaching
the
soft
loop
of
the
belly
band to
the long body hook
material
on one side of the dog.
Now
go over the dog's back
down
the opposite
side and under
the belly.
Continue to bring
t
he
belly strap up
to
the original
side
and
attach it to
itself.
Check that
this
strap
is
snug enough
to
provide
support
but never
tight.
Check
that
you can
easily
pull away and
return into p lace (gently,
do
not snap).

5. Next,
find the hind
leg
straps
sewn to
the long body strap,
under the dog 's tail. Pull
each
strap
underneath
the
hind
leg on
that side, a
nd
bring it
up
to
attach
to
t he long body strap,
in
front of the hind
leg
as
seen in
the
picture
above. These straps
may be crossed to
attach
on opposite side on female dogs.
Once this process has been completed for
your dog and you are happy with the fit, you
shouldn't have to go through this entire process
again. Simply remove by detaching the hind
leg
straps and the belly strap. Slide the ProSix K9 up
and over the dog's head. To put the ProSix K9
on again, put the dog's head through the body/
shoulder strap opening, and pull down over the
hind, attach leg straps and belly strap.
