| 20090071417 | Pet restraint - A pet restraint includes a collar and a leash, the leash having handles at both ends and being slidingly disposed through a portion of the leash, either at a single point or at multiple points on the circumference of the leash. The leash also has blocking portions preventing the entire length of the leash from sliding through unintentionally. When the pet steps over the leash and begins pulling with the leash passing behind a leg, the person handling the pet may re-route the leash by grasping the end then disposed near the handle and letting go of the end previously held. Optionally, structure on the leash or on the collar permits easy disengagement of the leash from the collar | 03-19-2009 |

| 20090241854 | Abrasion resistant omnidirectionally reflective retractable pet leash - A flexible abrasion resistant omnidirectionally reflective retractable pet leash has an omnidirectionally reflective pet leash housed within a retractable housing device. The omnidirectionally reflective pet leash reflects an incoming light beam back in the same direction as it was emanated. The reflected light beam provides accurate illumination of the pet leash and the location of the pet during dusk or nighttime hours. This retractable pet leash is created by surrounding a central braided rope of nylon or polyethylene fibers with a cylindrically braided reflective sleeve. The braided reflective sleeve is composed of braided narrow width reflective strips each comprising a plurality of reflective threads worked together to form a weave. Due to the braided weave of the reflective threads and the arrangement of the microscopic reflectors light incident thereon from virtually any angle is reflected back to its source. Advantageously, the fabric remains supple, facilitating extension and retraction of the leash. The braided construction enables the pet leash to reflect light omnidirectionally over a large angle of acceptance, thereby providing an improved measure of safety for both the pet and the pet handler. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20110192355 | CANINE CONTROL CORD - A dog control device utilises a dog collar attached to an eye formed from one end of a leash so that when worn the eye lies at or near the lower cervical vertebrae. If the leash is passed around the dogs chest and through the eye, a loop is formed which encircles the dogs thorax. When the leash is tensioned, such as by the dog lunging, the loop tightens and the dog stops lunging. The eye is part of the collar. Alternatively, the eye is attached to a conventional collar by a ring. A stop is attached to the leash which is threadable through the eye during the formation of the loop but which resists passage through the eye in the opposite direction in order to maintain the loop. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20120037091 | LEASH - An approach is provided for a leash for leashing animals. The leash comprises a strap, an auxiliary loop, a handgrip loop and a snap buckle. The strap reeves a first snap hook at a first end of the leash, which forms an upper-layer belt and a lower-layer belt. The first snap hook is used for attaching to an animal's collar. The auxiliary loop is connected to the lower-layer belt at a second end of the leash and having a ring surrounded the upper-layer belt. The handgrip loop is connected to the upper-layer belt at the second end of the leash. The snap buckle is connected to the auxiliary loop and the handgrip loop, and is configured to release the lower-layer belt selectively toward the upper-layer belt through the first snap hook. Thus, the leash provides the advantage of positive control of the length in a simple fashion. | 02-16-2012 |

| 20120255506 | Leash With Fastener in Handle - What we are changing in a typical dog (or other animal) leash is how it may be secured to a fixed object. We are adding a fastener (i.e. a clip or buckle) to the handle, or looped end, of a leash therefore making it easier to tether an animal to a fixed object. Simply unclip the fastener, loop the handle around a post or pole, and re-clip the fastener. The dog never needs to be unleashed. | 10-11-2012 |
| 20130074782 | Combination collar and leash training aid - A combination collar and leash training aid that is constructed from a continuous piece of flexible material that serves as a leash as well as one of three collars, a halter, choker, or locked flat collar. This three-in-one system eliminates the need for a large, heavy clip lead and creates a direct energy connection between the animal and handler. By eliminating the pressure the animal feels from a large, heavy clip hanging from the halter it allows for positive reinforcement to the animal as the muzzle loop exerts no pressure over the muzzle until the animal pulls. The positive reinforcement allows for a transition from the more restrictive halter position to the normal locked collar position. | 03-28-2013 |
