| 20110083617 | DEVICE FOR RESTRAINING ANIMALS TO FIXTURES - A restraining device for animals may comprise a housing including a leash rope assembly, a handle including a first end and a second end coupled to the housing, wherein at least one end of the handle is configured to be detachable from the housing, and an aperture generally positioned between the handle and the housing, wherein the aperture is configured to contain at least one fixture via detaching the at least one end of the handle from the housing such that the restraining device may be removably coupled to the at least one fixture. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20140331944 | Multi-Function Dog Leash and Methods of Use - An adjustable dog leash and associated obedience training methods are provided. The leash has clamps at opposing ends that can be affixed to a dog collar, belt loops, or other sections of leash. In between the clamps, a cord lock is disposed and engages with two sections of the leash length. When the cord lock is open, it can move freely, along the length, but when it is closed the lengths of the leash portions are temporarily set. A length of leash sectioned off by the cord lock forms an intermediate loop and has n o-ring disposed thereon. End clamps can be secured to the o-ring or the intermediate loop, forming two end loops. Either end loop can be wrapped around the trainer's torso while the other loop is used as a slip lead for a dog. The cord lock configuration reduces the risk of injury-causing leash cinching during training. | 11-13-2014 |
| 20150075448 | HANDS FREE DOG WALKING GEAR - Apparatus for leading an animal. The apparatus includes a belt sized for encircling a user's hips. The belt has a closure for selectively joining longitudinally spaced portions of the belt to hold the belt in position around the user's hips with an upper edge. The apparatus includes an anchor connected to the belt adjacent the upper edge. The anchor spans a predetermined longitudinal distance along the belt. The apparatus includes a connector slidably mounted on the anchor for connecting an animal lead to the belt such that an upper end of the lead is selectively positionable along the anchor for guiding the animal circumferentially relative to the user while restraining the animal. | 03-19-2015 |
| 20150075449 | Retractable Leash - A two or more subject retractable leash, and methods of use thereof, is disclosed, which includes a roll-back feature on each retractable leash. The leashes may be locked in place by engaging a single lever. The leashes retract regardless of whether the spools are locked or unlocked. Each leash retracts independently of the other leashes, such that a dual leash may be used to walk one subject. In some embodiments, a single subject retractable leash includes a roll-back feature that provides and allows for leash retraction, whether or not a brake associated with a spool thereof is engaged. | 03-19-2015 |
| 20160000198 | PET ACCESSORY BAG COUPLEABLE WITH LEASH IN MULTIPLE DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS - Embodiments described herein include a pet accessory bag coupleable with a leash in multiple different configurations and a system including the pet accessory bag and leash.
