1. Hold the halter vertically with the fleece nosepiece in one hand.
   
2. Place the pointer finger of your other hand on the strap between the two metal rings. Pull the strap down as far as it will go toward the slidelock to form a double loop.
   
3. Bring your hands to meet at the top of the fleece nosepiece, forming one large loop, like a horse bridle or halter.
   
4. Guide your dog's nose through the gathered loops with the chin ring under the chin. Place the fleece on his nose while you slip the double loops (push-pulley mechanism) over his ears.
   
5. The straps will form an “X” underneath your dog’s chin.
   
6. When first fitting the NewTrix, snug the slidelock behind your dog’s head to a position that’s comfortable, but won’t allow the nosepiece to slip off.
   
7. Connect the safety clasp to your dog's regular collar. If no adjustment is required, attach your leash to the leash ring beside the NewTrix label and enjoy your walk!
   
8. If the nosepiece rests too close to your dog's eyes, remove the NewTrix dog halter. Feed strap through the button slides to lengthen the cheek straps, making sure both sides are equal. The cheek straps should just pucker out a little and only become tense if you try to pull the nosepiece forward off the nose.
   
9. If your dog cannot yawn fully, remove the NewTrix dog halter and feed strap through the button slides to lengthen the chin straps. Check that both sides are equal. Slip the NewTrix back on, connect the safety clasp to the regular collar, connect your leash to the leash ring and enjoy your walk.
