Abstract: An adjustable dog collar having two attachment points permits the collar diameter to be regulated from a distance. The collar is constructed of a single piece of belting which is looped over an upper center bar of a three-bar cinch. The belting then passes under one of the cinch side bars, encircles the dog's neck, and terminates at the other side bar. The attachment points are located at a control ring located on the end of the belting loop and at another fixed location along the collar. Force is applied to these attachment points by connected leashes which either loosen, tighten, or hold constant the dimension of the collar depending upon the relative amount of force applied to each leash.

Abstract: A single-strand leash has a large intermediate cinch-ring located a short distance along the leash from the point in which the leash fastens to the dog's collar. By encircling the dog's body and applying the well-known saddle-hitch-type knot to the free end length of the leash utilizing the cinch-ring, a harness-type control may be quickly and easily created. The knot may be tied while the collar and leash are on the dog so that a correctly-sized harness strap looped behind the dog's mid-section can be created. After tying off the body loop, the free end of the leash grasped by the handler simply trails from the end of the knot behind the cinch-ring.
