International Classification:

A01K 108

US Classification:

Abstract:

A slip leash for dogs and other small quadrupeds has a head loop portion and a handle portion, configured generally to resemble a figure-eight. In the preferred embodiment, both the head loop portion and the handle portion are rigid along part of their respective lengths and flexible along the remainder of their respective lengths. Near the end of the rigid portion of the handle loop, a ring is attached or formed from the leash material, which preferably comprises a hollow braided rope. The leash material is passed through the ring so that the head loop can be made smaller (tighter around the head of the animal) or looser to release the animal by pulling on opposing sides of the handle loop.
