safety

1. Physical presence of the caretaker is necessary to hold device and monitor animal engagement. Firehose will wear and fray overtime and PVC caps may crack, so object should be inspected before and after use.

2. Entanglement in the rope is possible. It is suggested to encase the rope in tubing to reduce this risk.
