Hands free dog leash

摘要

An apparatus for restraining an animal includes a belt capable of being worn about the torso of a person. The belt has interior and exterior surfaces. A slide member formed from a length of flexible substantially non-stretchable material has two ends secured to the exterior surface of the belt. A slide member extends along a substantial length of the exterior surface of the belt in adjacent parallel relationship to the belt. A coupling member is slidably mounted along the slide member. The apparatus includes a lead having proximal and distal ends with respect to the person's torso. The distal end is securable to the animal and the proximal end is securable to the coupling member. Sliding of the coupling member along the slide member allows the lead to slide a substantial distance relative to the belt so that the animal can move a substantial distance about the person.
