This present invention accomplishes combining a standard dog leash which attaches to the dog's collar or harness with a choker leash which goes around the dog's neck. This invention creates one new dual-purpose leash by running the choker inside the hollowed material of the standard leash. This invention combines the ability to handle the dog gently by using a standard leash, but also provides the ability to use the choker to quickly change the dog's behavior if needed.

A pet waste container that attaches to the animal and does not require direct contact with waste for removal and disposal. The container includes a disposable waste bag, a tail drawstring, a hind leg cord, and an elastic support cord. The disposable waste bag collects waste material from the animal. The tail drawstring is looped and slidably attached about a main opening of the disposable waste bag and attaches around the animal's tail and lower back portion. The hind leg cord is positioned parallel and offset to the tail drawstring and is attached to the disposable waste bag. The hind leg cord secures about either hind leg of the animal. The elastic support cord ensures the disposable waste bag remains adequately positioned next to the animal's rear end throughout various movements. The elastic support cord is attached to the disposable waste bag and is connected to the hind leg cord.

A restraint assembly for an animal having a front anchor member, a rear anchor member and a coupling assembly. The front anchor member is configured to be secured to an animal through an interaction with at least one of a neck, a first front leg, and second front leg thereof. The rear anchor member is configured to be secured to an animal through interaction with at least one of a tail, a first rear leg, and a second rear leg thereof. The coupling assembly coupling the front anchor member to the rear anchor member in releasable engagement, to limit articulation of a body of the animal, sufficient to substantially preclude a head of the animal to rotate and reach portions of behind the head with a mouth of the animal.

A device and method for handling an animal comprising an animal harness. The animal harness comprises a girth strap further comprising a leash attachment point, a fixed chest strap coupled to opposite lateral regions of the girth strap, first and second attachment rings, and a free moving chest strap removably coupled, at both ends, to the attachment rings via releasable connectors. The animal harness may further comprise a midline strap coupled to the girth strap and the fixed chest strap. The straps may further comprise an adjustable slide buckle. The girth strap and the fixed chest strap may further comprise a releasable buckle.

The present invention is a compactable pet leash and harness assembly. The leash is segmented and contains a first handle at one end and a collar clip at the other end. The leash contains a second handle before the collar clip at the end of the leash segment containing the collar clip. The leash contains an accessory holder after the first handle at the end of the pet leash containing the first handle. A pair of clip buckles along the length of the pet leash between the accessory holder and the second handle allow for quickly shortening the leash. Two pairs of hook-and-loop type fasteners, or similar, along the length of the pet leash allow for attaching articles to the leash. A segment of elasticated strap allows limited lengthening of the leash in response to tension caused by the animal. The leash attaches to a quick disconnect harness having several attachment points allowing for gentle but effective control of the animal.

A dog harness is provided with a leash-holding element with controlled displacement for search dogs performing special work, comprising a back strap, a belly strap with a quick release buckle, and a chest strap running between the chest bone and the throat area. The leash-holding element with controlled displacement has an elastic design, stretching along the axis line, in line with the spine of the dog to a given extent, reducing the load on the dog when led on a leash, primarily during special mantrailingsearch work, when the dog is sniffing the ground with an outstretched neck. The leash-holding element with controlled displacement moves on the axis line as a function of the forces acting on the leash-holding end element. The leash-holding element follows the mechanism of movement characteristic of search work, and allows smooth working for the search dog led on a leash.

In some embodiments, a reduced-pull leash device includes a first extendible leash section and a second leash section. The second leash section is longer than the unextended first leash section. The first leash section's first end is configured to couple to or near the second leash section's first end. The first leash section's second end is configured to couple to a harness at a location on top of a dog. The second leash section's second end is configured to couple to a harness at a front location of the dog. The lengths of the first and second leash sections are configured so the first leash section extends when a dog pulls on the leash until the second leash section becomes taut. Once the second leash section becomes taut, a lateral force is generated on the dog to pull the dog laterally. Numerous other embodiments are provided.

An ergonomic training harness for use with an animal, the harness having a back panel with an outward-facing surface and an inward-facing surface and a chest panel with an outward-facing surface and an inward-facing surface. The harness also includes a chest strap having a first end and a second end, wherein each of the first end and the second end are coupled to the back panel. Additionally, the harness includes an underbelly strap coupled to the back panel, and a longitudinal strap coupled to the chest panel, the longitudinal strap having a first loop portion and a second loop portion. The chest strap is configured to pass through the first loop portion of the longitudinal strap and the underbelly strap is configured to pass through the second loop portion of the longitudinal strap.

A wearable sensor device to assist a vision-impaired animal in navigating its surroundings includes a harness to be worn by the animal, a plurality of proximity sensors coupled to the harness, and a plurality of output devices coupled to the harness. The proximity sensors and the output devices can overlay the shoulders, the sides, and the chest of the animal when the animal wears the device. The proximity sensors can face forward, to the sides of the animal, and horizontally. The device includes a control unit to receive signals from the sensors, process the signals, and transmit signals to the output devices.

The invention discloses smart Artificial Intelligence powered body harness system for support animals or pets such as a dog and which is capable of real time monitoring of human health, wellbeing, behavior and status of an owner or handler or any of the person of interest within proximity of the equipped support animal or pet. Further, the smart body harness and armor system is capable of monitoring the emotional state and body biometrics and health of the support animals or pet and to transmit in real time the collected data to a centralized monitoring center for AI and human analysis and then reporting on those results to the pet owner and any interested person or organization granted secure access via his/her smartphone or any other network enabled device. The smart body harness system of present invention is comprising of: a flexible body of a harness capable of conforming the body shape of the pet support animals which is further augmented with a network of plurality of electronically connected housings built within the flexible body of harness to support the real time monitoring instruments; each such base stations of the body harness incorporates one or more electronic sensor base plate or mounting platform all of which are networked together as a part of global monitoring network; a plurality of weatherproof, waterproof and shock resistant container having not less than a microcomputer with integrated peripheral devices including but not limited to, a camera, a microphone, a 4G and 5G wireless network components, a Bluetooth module, a Wi-Fi, Battery pack and many more mounted within the base stations of the body harness which acts as a mounting receptacle for the container. Further, each such container has transparent housing for its camera device and each container device is interchangeable with other container device due to the ability of containers to snap-in to the housings via mechanical, magnetic or clip-on mechanisms.
