The present invention relates to a retractable leash device primarily comprised of a housing, a disk, a leash and a harness and/or collar. The housing is preferably circular and houses a rotating and locking disk, wherein the housing attaches magnetically to a flat bottom member and the member attaches to a magnet located on the harness or collar. The disk further receives a leash that can be retracted within the housing around the disk for storage when not in use. In addition, one embodiment of the device may allow for the attachment of a second device that has an additional tether, such that a user can tether a second animal to the device as it is worn by a first animal. Therefore, a user can walk multiple animals using only one leash, and wherein the tether can still be stored within the housing when not in use.

A system for training animals includes a hand-held device and a remote device, where the remote device applies a stimulus when a user presses a button or trigger on the hand-held device. The amount of pressure applied is measured by a pressure sensitive transducer and transformed into proportional transducer signals. These transducer signals are transmitted to the remote device, which then applies a stimulus to an animal being trained. The amplitude of the applied stimulus corresponds to the amplitude of the transducer signals; a trainer can thus precisely control the intensity of the stimulus by applying and relieving pressure on the button. The type of stimulus applied is controlled based on the position of a rotary switch on the hand-held device. Sensor data generated by specialized sensors in the remote device may be transmitted to the hand-held device to provide the user with sensory feedback.

A safe and humane head collar for an animal includes a clasp and a head strap extending through first and second channels formed in the clasp. The head strap has a first end secured to a slip loop and a second end secured to a lead attachment. The head strap passes once through the slip loop to form a head loop for passing over a head of the animal. The safe and humane head collar also includes a nose strap extending through third and fourth channels formed in the clasp to provide a nose loop for passing over a nose of the animal, the nose strap having first and second ends terminating below the clasp. When fitted to the animal, the clasp secures a portion the first and second ends of the nose strap and a portion of the head loop below a lower jaw of the animal, and the head loop is positioned so that the slip loop is situated behind an ear of the animal.

A system comprising a first transmitter for transmitting a first signal at a first frequency and a second transmitter for transmitting a second signal at a second frequency. The system includes a collar unit comprising a filter for receiving a combined signal, wherein the combined signal comprises the first signal and the second signal, wherein the filter includes a first antenna for detecting the first signal and a second antenna for detecting the second signal. The collar unit includes at least one signal analysis component configured to analyze the first signal and the second signal. The collar unit is configured to instruct a stimulus delivery unit to deliver a stimulus to the animal when the first signal voltage falls below a first value and the second signal voltage exceeds a second value.

A prey protection feline collar includes a collar body comprising a brim defining a planar internal area, inside and outside perimeters, a face side, and a cutout having edges, the inside and outside perimeters together defining a plane projecting substantially parallel to the planar internal area, the brim configured to extend outward from a surface of a neck of a feline responsive to being worn, a clasp removably connecting the edges to form a closure at the cutout, a light reflector disposed at the face side of the brim and, responsive to receiving light, reflecting the light away from the face side, and an audible warning device connected to the brim. The collar body includes a sleeve traversing the inside perimeter. A ribbon extends through the sleeve lumen and is connected to respective parts of the clasp.

The present invention is an animal cooling system including a collar removably connected to a vest. The collar may be affixed around an animal's neck and the vest around the animal's torso. The collar includes a fabric layer having at least one pouch affixed to an inner side, at least one coolant sheet removably located within the pouch, and a fastener affixed to the fabric layer. The vest includes a fabric layer having at least one pouch affixed to an inner side, at least one coolant sheet removably located within the pouch, and a fastener affixed to the fabric layer. The coolant sheets include a freezable, non-toxic coolant and once melted, may be removed from their respective pouches and swapped for fresh, frozen coolant sheets to allow for continuous cooling. The system may also be utilized as a separate collar or a separate vest having the same construction and function.

An animal lifting device and method is provided. In particular, a hip member and a chest member are provided that have handles thereon. The chest member and the hip member may be selectively interconnected to each other with an interconnection member. The chest member may include an upper portion, shoulder pads, a chest pad, a center cross member, and an adjustable strap. The hip member may include an upper portion, an adjustable sling, and adjustable straps.

A reciprocating leash to walk animals. The leash includes a handle, a slip zone, and a cord. The slip zone is located at a cord end of the handle. The cord is located in the slip zone. A middle portion of the cord is defined between a left stop and a right stop. A left end portion of the cord is defined from the left stop to a left end of the cord and a right end portion of the cord is defined from the right stop to a right end of the cord. The middle portion passes through the slip zone and is movable in and out of the slip zone through a range of travel limited to between the left stop and the right stop. The left end and the right end each include an end clip to repeatably be connected to and released from animals.

An “invisible” leash that wirelessly connects a pet device to a user device and provides signals to a pet device for controlling pet behavior is disclosed. The pet device can include one or more sensors and output devices to communicate instructions and control pet behavior.

A retractable leash with automatic locking and unlocking function including a housing, a spool with a cord wound therearound, a braking means, a cord opening, a stopping means and a biasing means. A second portion of the stopping means abuts against the cord in such a way that tensioning of the cord by an external force actuates the stopping means to overcome biasing force of the biasing means to rotate to the locking position, and untensioning of the cord by the external force returns the stopping means from the locking position to the unlocking position. The present invention automatically locks the leash when the dog rushes, thus improving safety of the leash.
