ABSTRACT:
An animal training device comprises a flexible leash having a clasp for attachment to an animal's collar and a handle for use by a handler. A rigid member is spring mounted on the leash wherein the spring biases the rigid member away from the clasp in the nominal position. The spring facilitates compression of the spring during movement of the rigid member toward the clasp when the handler forces the rigid member along the leash toward an animal being trained or restrained. In this compressed orientation the rigid member is positioned adjacent the animal such that the animal is restrained from jumping upwardly toward the handler. Upon release of the rigid member by the handler, the spring once again biases the rigid member away from the animal thereby facilitating an amount of flexible leash to extend from the rigid member toward the clasp so as to allow relative freedom of movement of the animal being trained or restrained.
