A retractable leash with improved locking and unlocking mechanism, having a housing; a spool disposed inside the housing and biased towards the winding direction; a braking means; a locking means rotatable between a locking position to stop rotation of the spool towards the unwinding direction and an unlocking position; a biasing means which biases the locking means towards the unlocking position; a press button pivotable between a pressed position and a released position; an actuating means rotatably engaged with the press button and the locking means between a default position and an actuating position; and a sliding button having an upper portion exposing on the upper portion of the press button and a lower portion extending downwards through the press button into the housing.

A container for receiving and disposing of excrement is disclosed. The container has a container wall designed in the shape of a bag, with a base and, lying opposite the latter, an edge forming a receiving opening of the container. An elastic element provided at the edge serves to stretch out the receiving opening and to stiffen the edge. The container also has a device for closing the receiving opening, wherein the edge can be pulled shut by pulling on the elastic element. Also disclosed are a storage unit for receiving, storing and making available such a container, a device with such a storage unit for receiving and handling excrement, and a roll-up dog leash having such a device.

A leash attachment and method for using the leash attachment are provided. The leash attachment has a built-in flip open cup that allows an animal to drink from the flip open cup once liquid is expelled to the distal end of the cup via a nozzle. Unused liquid form the flip open cup drains back via a funnel into the leash attachment by way of a fill hole. The leash attachment attaches to a leash via a rolling cam with ridges on the cam's outer surface.

The present disclosure provides a damper and an anti-irritable tractor, which relates to the field of pet traction devices and solves the problems that the damper has a short service life and the tractor is easy to lose the anti-irritable effect. The damper comprises a magnetic component and a damping plate, which are magnetically adsorbed and synchronously rotate or stand still when the rotating speed of a winding reel is less than the set speed; when the rotating speed of the winding reel exceeds the set speed, either of the magnetic component and the damping plate is connected with the winding reel, and the other of the magnetic component and the damping plate is connected with a stationary part, and when the magnetic component and the damping plate rotate relatively, the magnetic adsorption force between the magnetic component and the damping plate forms the resistance to limit the rotation of the winding reel. According to the damper, the adsorption force between the magnetic component and the damping plate can form the resistance to limit the rotation of the winding reel. The magnetic component and the damping plate are bonded and magnetically absorbed, and damping materials such as adhesive oil do not need to be filled. The heat generated by friction of the damping materials is reduced, and there is also larger magnetic force in case of abrasion, thus greatly prolonging the service life.

A heated retractable leash is disclosed which increases the comfort of the user by heating the housing of the retractable leash during cold or inclement weather.

A spraying leash assembly includes a leash unit that has a leash retractably integrated therein such that the leash can be attached to a collar of a dog for walking the dog. A reservoir is coupled to the leash unit and the reservoir is hollow to contain a liquid. A spray nozzle is integrated into the reservoir to spray the fluid outwardly from the reservoir onto the dog thereby distracting the dog from barking. A light emitter is coupled to the reservoir to emit light outwardly therefrom. A handle is coupled to the reservoir and the handle can be gripped for carrying the reservoir and the leash unit. A speaker is integrated into the handle for emitting an audible sound outwardly therefrom to distract the dog from barking.

A portable pet tether apparatus readily attaches onto a retractable pet leash. The portable pet tether allows a user to tether a pet anywhere. The portable pet tether consists of a corkscrew ground anchor that is rotatably connected to a leash receiver. The ground anchor is secured to the ground. The retractable pet leash can then be removably connected to the leash receiver through an attachment mechanism. The removably connected retractable pet leash may be detached from the leash receiver through the actuation of a release button.

A leash control device includes: a housing including a top cover and a bottom cover rigidly connected to the top cover; a cable wheel including a cylindrical outer ring, the cylindrical outer ring being configured for a leash cable to be wounded on an outer surface of the cylindrical outer ring; a button having a cylindrical member configured on an upper portion of the button and a base configured on a lower portion of the button, the cylindrical member being configured to be extended through a central hole of the top cover; and a compression spring configured to bias the button in an upward direction to cause the button to engage with the cable wheel; wherein: when a pressing force is applied to the cylindrical member of the button to counter an upward biasing force of the compression spring and no pulling force is applied to the leash cable, the button is configured to be pressed down and disengaged from the cable wheel, and after the button is disengaged from the cable wheel, the cable wheel is configured to rotate freely about a central axis when a pulling force is applied to the leash cable, causing the leash cable to unwind and extend out of the leash control device; and when the button is not pressed down and a pulling force is applied to the leash cable, a vertical post configured on an upper surface of the bottom cover interferes with an underside surface of the base of the button, preventing the button to be pressed down.

A tie out for restraining multiple animals includes a frame having a central post, and an axle arranged perpendicularly to the central post, wherein the axle is rotatable about a vertical axis defined by the central post. The tie out may further include a first reel mounted on the axle and rotatable about a horizontal axis defined by the axle, and a first cable that is wound on the first reel. The tie out may further include a second reel mounted on the axle and rotatable about the horizontal axis, and a second cable wound on the second reel, wherein the first reel rotates around the axle independently of the second reel. The tie out further includes a cable guide arranged between the first reel and the second reel, wherein the cable guide is configured to prevent the first cable or the second cable from becoming tangled on the tie out.

The present invention is a retractable pet leash with a variable brake system to control a pet. The variable braking system can be engaged or disengaged by the user via 3 methods. The first method is via a handle that is directly connected to the brake. The second method, also actuated by the user is a one touch brake system that uses the rotation of the reel to slowly apply the variable brake over several rotations of the reel. The third method allows the user to set the length of the leash cord and when the set length of the cord is met, engages the one touch brake system. The retractable pet leash provides a system to set the length of the leash cord being let out and ensures that the leash cord is kept taught between the user and the pet and notifies the user when the set length has been reached and applies variable braking in a steady and predictable manner to smoothly stop the pet.
