Abstract: The invention of this application provides a leash system comprising a distance lead and a close control lead each with a handle and a clasp suitable for independent use separate from the system. The distance lead is releasably connected to the close control lead at a position intermediate of the length of the close control lead. In this manner two complete leashes are provided in a system that allows either a distant lead for more freedom of movement for the dog or a close control lead to restrain the dog when necessary. In addition each lead is independently useable.
