A method for leashing an animal is provided, including steps of attaching a quick-release mechanism to a collar on an animal, and encircling the animal's abdomen by passing a handle end of the leash through an intermediate loop such that the leash forms a constrictive loop around the animal's abdomen. The leash includes a collar end formed from a loop of a first flexible web that captures the quick-release mechanism, and a handle end formed from a loop of a second flexible web. The intermediate loop is between the collar end and the handle end and formed of a third flexible web. The first flexible web overlaps the third flexible web and the overlapping portions are bonded together at a collar end of the intermediate loop. The second flexible web overlaps the third flexible web and the overlapping portions are bonded together at a handle end of the intermediate loop.

A guide dog apparatus comprises a form fitting guide dog harness, an extensible and rotatable human guiding handle, and a single point attachment mechanism connecting the dog harness and human guiding handle. The harness includes a dorsal panel and a ventral panel. A user handle is connected to an attachment member that is mounted to the dorsal panel of the harness and which includes a clamping gudgeon that retains a pintle attached to the handle in a desired orientation. The apparatus positively couples linear guiding forces in the ventral, dorsal, cranial, and caudal directions. The guiding handle attachment positively couples rotational guiding forces about the vertical dorsoventral axis and the horizontal anteroposterior axis. Freedom of rotation is provided about the lateral horizontal left-right axis. The user is able to laterally adjust the distance between grip and the harness.

An adaptive harness includes a neck girth loop and a torso girth loop. Each loop has lateral arcs on opposite sides of and extending in directions substantially parallel to a sagittal plane. Each of the lateral arcs has an adjustable length. The loops are connected to one another ventrally and dorsally. The harness further includes a tension force transfer path that extends circumferentially along the neck girth loop from a tension force redirector, or ring, on the neck girth loop in the sagittal plane through the lateral arcs of the neck girth loop. The harness further includes a tension force conduit, or strap, secured along the path. When a tension force is applied to the strap outwardly from the ring, such as the pulling of a leash attaching to a leash coupling on the strap, the lengths of the lateral arcs of the neck girth loop are shortened, resulting in a better fit of the harness to the subject.

An animal-harness includes a line, two crimps along the line, and a ring. The line is formed at one end. The two parallel lines formed by the bight are crimped together by both crimps. The two crimps are spaced apart, and the lines therebetween form a gap. Through this gap, the line may be passed through to form a loop. The line of the bight may pass through the ring. This ring is large enough for the long end of the line to pass through it as well, so that another loop may be formed. Thusly, in use, two loops or formed. One loop may be passed around an animal collar region, and another around an animal girth, to form a secure and safe harness around the animal. The remaining length of the line is available to be used as a leash.

A training apparatus for an animal having a vest or halter adapted to be worn by the animal. IN one embodiment, three or more alert mechanisms (vibrators or sound generators) are embedded into the vest, over both shoulders and one on the chest. Through remote control, the alert mechanisms are selectively activated to direct the animal to go, turn left, turn right, or stop. In one embodiment, a distance measuring mechanism warns the animal of an impending wall or an impending drop-off.

Fluid delivery systems, methods and apparatus to dispense a dose of fluid on an animal, which may be particularly used for behavior modification of the animal, are disclosed. A system may particularly comprise an apparatus wearable by the animal. The apparatus is suitable for storing a fluid contained therein, and dispensing a dose of fluid on the animal, particularly to spur or otherwise induce behavior modification of the animal, particularly in response to training stimuli during a training scenario.

Remote control system and method to support separate operation of an animal disclosed. Remote control system to support separate operation of an animal includes a drone, capable of performing a separation operation, a wearable device, in form of being wearable on an animal and configured for docking the drone, a server, configured for communicating at least one of the drone and the wearable device to gather information that at least one of the drone or and the wearable device collects, and configured for transmitting a user command to at least one of the drone or and the wearable device, and a user terminal, configured for receiving and outputting the gathered information in communication with the server, and configured for receiving the user command regarding the drone and the wearable device.

A pet waste device is an octagonal padded ring having a plurality of hooks on the outside of the ring each of which removably retain a pet waste bag. The padded ring may be removably secured to the back of a pet such as a dog.

A number of mechanisms are provided for aiding in animal handling through various security screening processes. An animal control implement makes it possible to undergo security screening while maintaining control of the animal while also not generating any security related false rejects.

This device and process is a Special Search Dog Pack and Process for Faster Dog Aided Search, Dog Only Search and Rescue and other Dog Aided Uses for enabling Faster, Dog-Only Search. Particularly this process uses a search pack device that contains specific rescue contents used for and related to a faster search method. Here, the search dog has an attached pack with a tracking device and rescue contents that can be carried directly to a victim without the need of an attending person. Once found the victim can then communicate back to a search party and/or the search party can quickly and accurately locate the victim via the cell phone or GPS device for a precise and faster rescue.
