Perform the Tape Outline Exercise with Your Dog
A good fit in the Cockpit is essential to safety and comfort, and the Tape Outline Exercise is the best way to visualize how your dog will fit in the Cockpit size you selected.
If your dog is still growing, try to do this exercise with the parent of the same sex.
Here’s how to do the Tape Outline Exercise:
STEP 1ย Create an outline of the Cockpit’s internal dimensions on the floor up against two walls.
Internal Cockpit dimensions:
Nano โ 47cm x 22cm | 18ยฝin x 8ยพin
Mini โ 65cm ร 30cm | 25ยฝin x 12in
Intermediate โ 71cm ร 32cm | 28in x 13in
Standard โ 77cm ร 35cm | 30in x 14in
Jumbo โ 87cm ร 40cm | 34in x 16in
STEP 2ย Place your dog inside the tape outline with the butt and backside against the walls.
1) The back should be comfortably curled, not straight.
2) The front paws should reach to the front tape at the wristsย like in the instructions diagram.
STEP 3ย Snap a photo or two just like the example image and upload it using the form provided.
Check out this Gear Guide article or video for a more detailed explanation.
โฑย Please note: We review your Tape Outline Exercise photos during step 3 of the mounting design so be sure to complete this step beforehand and hold onto your questions until then!ย โฑ
