The rotatable shaft further includes an elevated section having a fastening member attached. The elevated section may be exposed above ground at a height sufficient to keep an attached retractable restraint from touching the ground. The fastening member is attached near to the top of the rotating shaft and may be adapted to receive a retractable restraint, particularly an animal restraint. The tether device optionally includes a bearing in contact with the anchor shaft and the rotatable shaft to reduce rotational friction.
