Abstract: A pet restraint system may include a tether attached to a movable restraint member. The tether is attached to an animal's collar by means of a connector at one end and is affixed to the restraint member at the opposite end. The tether may be formed from a braided polyvinyl chloride (PVC) line threaded through a plurality of sheaths that prevent the tethering line from kinking or wearing as the pet moves within a fenced area.
