Abstract:
The present invention is a retractable pet leash with a variable brake system to control a pet. The variable braking system can be engaged or disengaged by the user via 3 methods. The first method is via a handle that is directly connected to the brake. The second method, also actuated by the user is a one touch brake system that uses the rotation of the reel to slowly apply the variable brake over several rotations of the reel. The third method allows the user to set the length of the leash cord and when the set length of the cord is met, engages the one touch brake system. The retractable pet leash provides a system to set the length of the leash cord being let out and ensures that the leash cord is kept taught between the user and the pet and notifies the user when the set length has been reached and applies variable braking in a steady and predictable manner to smoothly stop the pet.
