Functionality Turning the LEUCHTIE on and off
The motion sensor switches on automatically when the battery compartment points downwards and the LEUCHTIE is in motion. If the battery compartment faces upwards, it slowly switches off after approx. 1 minute. Therefore, suspend the LEUCHTIE e.g. on a hook for storage.

- MADE IN GERMANY
Since 2003, we have been crafting LEUCHTIEs at our facility in Weiden / Bavaria.
- Social responsibility
Part of the preparatory work is carried out in special education centers and enables people with physical or mental disabilities to receive individual support.
We avoid the exploitation of people and the environment typical of low-wage countries as far as possible and act accordingly: We manufacture our LEUCHTIEs in Germany and attach great importance to quality when selecting our materials and suppliers.
- Sustainability
LEUCHTIE is not a disposable item:
In the event of damage we will provide you with reliable support, repair service and low-cost spare parts.
Choosing the right LEUCHTIE size for your dog
LEUCHTIE will be placed over the dog's head as closed ring and turns on and off automatically.
Consequently, for choosing the right size you have to measure the dog's head circumference, not the neck (for exceptions see point 3).
- Please put a tape measure tightly around the widest part of the dog’s head, just in front of the ears.
If you don't have a tape measure, please use a piece of string which you can use around the head and then measure with a ruler. Please measure tightly.
- Select the LEUCHTIE size closest to this measurement from the list provided.
If you meausure between two sizes, please choose the smaller size preferably.
- Does your dog have a larger neck than head circumference, e. g. due to dense, long-haired fur on the neck (Australian Shepherd, Collie, Newfoundland etc.)?
Then please measure the neck circumference as an additional size at the place and in the width on / in which the LEUCHTIE should be and orient yourself more towards this when choosing the size.
