Abstract: The RuffGrip nylon dog leash is an improvement over existing dog leashes in that it incorporates a rubber material in the weaving of the nylon webbing material which is used for the body of the leash. This gives the owner more control of the animal and greatly reduces the chances of friction burn to the owner's hand. The RuffGrip dog leash also is an improvement over existing dog leashes in that it incorporates leather bands sewn onto the leash body at regular intervals in order for the owner to have greater control over the length of the leash.
