ABSTRACT:
A leash including a shock-absorbent substantially elastic lead is disclosed wherein the lead is not shaped like a simple beam, i.e., the lead includes one or more macroscopic concavities along its length. As examples, the lead may be shaped like a C-beam, I-beam, T-beam, or X-beam. The perimeters of the concavities form stiffening ridges which prevent the sagging or drooping of the lead and possible entanglement with the animal's or user's legs. By forming such concavities, material can be removed from the lead without adversely affecting its stiffness. An extender lead for extending the length of preexisting leashes is also disclosed.
