Retractable leashes use a braking mechanism to stop a dog from movement. A mechanism is provided for smoothly or gradually braking the unreeling of the line, and can include a brake with a pad or pads for stopping the dog much like a bicycle. The brake and pads allow the user to squeeze the trigger lightly or more aggressively to slow and stop the dog's movement without the sudden jerk of traditional retractable leashes. The consumer may ultimately clamp down on the trigger to clamp the pads to the reel instantly for an aggressive stop if needed.

Leash with dual trigger

A pet chew toy, especially for dogs, has a resilient body in the shape of a ball which has a body and a pair of openings which lead into respective interior chambers inside the body of the ball. A generally S-shaped curved wall separates the two interior chambers. Each interior chamber is bounded by a semi-spherical side wall and the generally S-shaped curved wall. The semi-spherical side wall of each chamber has a ledge portion such that the opening disposed near the opening, for aiding in retention of a pet treat which is placed inside the chamber. The ledge is not radially disposed with reference to a center of the ball. The two interior chambers are symmetrical. The hollow interior body of the ball can thus hold either one pet treat in either chamber, or two pet treats with one treat being in each chamber. An air hole can also be provided in a wall distal from the opening of each chamber, to prevent suction from developing when the pet places its tongue into the interior chamber.
