ABSTRACT:
An improved leash assembly includes a handle for grasping by the owner and a line secured at one end to the handle and at the opposite end to the animal. The handle includes an elastic loop. The loop automatically expands if the animal tries to pull away from the owner to thereby apply a gentle fore between the owner and the animal. The force naturally increases as the animal pulls further however the onset of the force is gradual. In this manner the movement of the animal is automatically controlled while insuring that neither the animal nor the owner suffer any injuries.
