LEASH WITH SLIP LOOP
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
An animal leash with slip loop having a slip connector unit associated with the slip loop so that said loop may be adjusted in size according to the size of the neck of the animal with which it is to be used. A simplified embodiment is also provided which allows for simple adjustment of the slop loop without the use of a connector as detailed as in the preferred embodiment.
