Abstract: A pet leash includes a handle member, a first spring mechanism having a first end configured to be connected to the handle member, a belt system having a first end configured to be connected to a second end of the first spring mechanism, a second spring mechanism having a first end configured to be connected to the first end of the belt system and the second end of the first spring mechanism, and a second end configured to be connected to a collar. The springs stretch in response to any movement from the pet away from the pet handler and reduce the force on the handler and the dog.

Abstract: A pet guard device has a plurality of layers of movable elements. The movable elements are arranged in a telescoping manner. An activation mechanism is coupled to the layers of movable elements and is configured to move the layers of movable elements between a retracted state and an expanded state. A triggering device, when activated, is configured to cause the activation device to move the layers of movable elements to the expanded state. An attempt by the pet to move its head in either direction activates pressure points along the neck collar causing the telescopic mechanism to be activated, effectively creating a muzzle along the pet's jaw. The muzzle effectively creates a barrier between the pet's mouth and the bodily area intended to be avoided.
