Trax Donut + Holder Product Guidelines
The FitPaws® TRAX™ Donut is an inflatable tool, designed to provide a moderately challenging
unstable surface for canine balance and strength training. Its flattened base offers more stability
than a round exercise ball.
The Donut and Holder are sold separately:
The TRAX™ Donut and Circular Product Holder can be used together or separately depending on the goal of the exercise.
Inflation Tips
donut
First, inflate the donut until it's firm. Next, let it rest for 12-24 hours so the material can stretch and then fill it all the way.
At full inflation the Donut has less dynamic movement and so is less challenging for your dog. To increase the balance challenge, remove air slightly so that the Donut has more dynamic movement.
Donut inflation/deflation instructions
Use the included tool to remove the plug located near the center donut hole.
Insert pump with cone attachment into the inflation hole and pump to desired inflation size.
Remove the pump and quickly place your finger over the hole to prevent the air from escaping.
Re-insert the plug you removed in step 1 and push it down into the product until it sits flush.
The circular product holder can be used separately for target training and as a jumping ring. Both products can be used for beginner, intermediate or advanced canine fitness.
