Centre Stage Safety Extender
An extender gives you multiple height options while you're grooming without having to adjust the actual height of your H Frame. If you groom dogs of vastly different sizes, an extender offers lots of flexibility with no faff.
A regular extender has a dog-lead style trigger hook at one end. This means that the dog would have to have its weight entirely supported in order to unclip it from the H Frame.
The Centre Stage Safety Extender is different though. It has a Safety Snap at one end which can release a dog both in a heartbeat and single handedly if the need arises. All you have to do is pull down on the collar of the safety snap and it snaps open. It doesn't matter how heavy the dog is or how much it is struggling. It will not open until you pull the collar down but it is built to withstand a horse pulling back.
It does need enough room to work though. Most H Frame bars have unsuitably tiny welded rings or oval holes to clip your equipment into, which is why we provide the option of two adaptor loops:
The Hold Tight: Clips into the small welded rings on certain H-Frames, and also fits securely into the oval holes on the underside of other H-Frame bars.
The Hang Loose: Wraps around the horizontal bar of the H-Frame, so you can place it anywhere along the top. This gives you more flexibility, though it may shift slightly if pulled by a strong dog.
Both adaptors serve the same purpose. They add a large, secure ring to your H-Frame, making it safe and easy to use our panic-release Safety Snaps.
The Safety Snap itself is seriously strong, built to withstand the weight of a horse. It won’t release under pressure, pull or twist. The only way it opens is by pulling down the collar, which takes just a second and can be done one-handed, even in an emergency. If a dog panics, chokes or gets tangled, you can release them instantly, no faffing.
Disclaimer: Never leave a dog unattended on the table, not even for a second. At Centre Stage, safety is non-negotiable. Use our safety equipment so you are always able to release your dog instantly with just one hand, no matter how big or heavy the dog is.
