Abstract: A casing which is intended to resemble a scaled-down brandy barrel mounts an internal shaft on which is journaled a sleeve which mounts a leaf spring and a coiled leash which extends through a slot in the casing. The collar also mounts a drum with spaced holes in its circumference which coact with a detent finger externally operable by a button which is designed to simulate a bung plug in the barrel. The barrel loops have extended bails through which the dog's collar engages.
