Abstract
An animal restraint device is comprised of two identical mating collar elements, each element having a pair of outwardly extending legs and having at least one passage on one leg and at least one tab on an opposing leg such that the two elements may be connected by passing the respective tabs of each element through the respective passages of the other element, whereby when connected the elements define an aperture for receiving the animal's neck. A method comprises engaging a pair of collar members such that when connected, a neck of the animal to be restrained is positioned in an opening defined by recesses of the first and second collar members, the engaging step comprising engaging a locking member associated with each of the collar members with a passage associated with the other of the collar members.
