Abstract
The animal control lead comprises a length of hollow compliant material (10) and an elastic member (20) retracting the length of hollow compliant material. The length has a first and second, opposite end section. A first handle (30) is located at the first end section and a clasping device (32) at the second end section. The second end section has an optional second handle (30). The lead extends and contracts with application and removal of a tensile force between the end sections. The second handle provides increased control of the animal if needed.
