Abstract: The preferred embodiment of an animal restraining device has a plurality of flexible elongated members attached at one end to a snap hook, with the opposing ends attached to suction cups. This allows an animal, such as a dog or cat, to be restrained at any suitable surface capable of supporting a partial vacuum suction cup attachment. The animal is restrained by connecting a snap hook to the animal's collar, and the suction cups at the surface. By making the elongated members from elastomeric material, a non-jerking increasing restraining force is generated as the animal tries to move away, and the animal is soon taught to remain at a desired location. The invention eliminates required adjustment means and rigid framework of the prior art, thus providing a simpler device to manufacture while also allowing an animal to be restrained in a more natural and comfortable position.
