Abstract: The dog lead according to the invention is connected on the one end to the collar of the dog while the other end is connected for instance to the trouser belt of the person in charge of the dog. The lead is connected to the trouser belt via an elongate member with a form similar to a crane jib such that, with a correct choice of the length of the lead, the dog is subjected to a tug on the collar since the moving leg exerts a tensile force on the lead because of the "jib", and the dog cannot therefore get in front of the bearing leg.
