A pet leash clip device for a pet leash system comprising:
- a circular base component;
- a dome structure rotatably connected to the circular base component and possessing the same diameter as the circular base component;
- a body embedded down a center of the dome structure and a top of the circular base component;
- a prong including a first portion received within a recess and having a distal end;
- and
- a tab including a slot-engaging structure configured to ride within a slot
- wherein the prong moves linearly within the recess, which corresponds to the slot, and the distal end of the prong is biased such that it is at least immediately adjacent a distal end of a U-shaped upper portion of a cavity which receives a pet collar so as to either close or substantially close an opening thereof.

- a circular base component;
- a dome structure rotatably connected to the circular base component and possessing the same diameter as the circular base component;
- a body embedded down a center of the dome structure and a top of the circular base component, the body having:
- a hook portion including a neck and a U-shaped upper portion forming a roof of a cavity of the pet leash clip device, the U-shaped upper portion including a first side with a distal end having a surface;
- a U-shaped lower portion forming a floor of the cavity of the pet leash clip device and including:
- the first side with the distal end having the surface and a recess within the distal end, a slot within the first side;

- wherein the first side is arranged to align with the first side of the U-shaped upper portion;
- an opening is established arranged between the surfaces of the distal ends of each of the first sides of the U-shaped upper portion and U-shaped lower portion;
- a prong including a first portion received within the recess and a distal end, and a tab including a slot-engaging structure configured to ride within the slot, wherein:
- the prong is configured to slide within the recess,
- wherein:
- the prong moves linearly within the recess, which corresponds to the slot, and the distal end of the prong is biased such that it is at least immediately adjacent the distal end of the upper U-shaped portion so as to either close or substantially close the opening, and
