Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

[0022] This invention is further explained below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing, wherein FIG. 1 is a top view of a guidance section according to this invention.

DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0023] FIG. 1 shows a guidance section 1 that comprises a guide web 2 for resting on the back of the dog. Two fastening loops 6 are arranged on the guide web 2 on the front side facing the dog's head when it is placed on the dog's back. These serve to fix the guidance section 1 to a harness or collar. A leash guide 4 is arranged at or near the rear end of the guide web 2, which faces away from the dog's head when resting on the dog's back. There is also a leash guide 3 in the middle of the guide web 2. Both the leash guide 3,4 arranged at the rear end and the leash guide 3 arranged in the direction of the front end of the guide web 2 extend in their width over the entire width of the guide web 2. At the rear end of the guide web 2 facing away from the dog's head when resting on the dog's back, two leg loops 5 are also arranged. These serve to fasten the guidance section 1 to the dog's hind legs. Each leg loop 5 is placed around a respective hind leg. Preferably, the leg loops are adjustable in length so that they can be adapted to the dog's body. The length of the guide web 2 is preferably adapted to the length of the dog's back and is ideally selected so that the guide web 2 extends from the attachment eyelet for the leash of the collar or harness used to the base of the dog's tail, so that the leash guide 4 is arranged just in front of the base of the dog's tail. A leash attached to the harness or collar can be guided through the leash guides 3,4. The leash then rests on an axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the dog's back, which prevents tangling of the leash between the dog's legs.

[0024] While in the foregoing specification this invention has been described in relation to certain preferred embodiments, and many details are set forth for purpose of illustration, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is susceptible to additional embodiments and that certain of the details described in this specification and in the claims can be varied considerably without departing from the basic principles of this invention.
