Pet securing device

A pet securing device consisting of:

• a main body having a bottom surface defining an internal recess;
• a handle affixed to an upper portion of the main body;
• one or more weights;
• an anchor system comprising:
• an anchor housing defining an internal cavity, a central lumen, and a side aperture;
• a spindle disposed within the internal cavity of the anchor housing, wherein the spindle is configured to rotate about a central vertical axis;
• a cable having a proximal portion wrapped around the spindle and a distal portion extending radially outward through the side aperture of the anchor housing;
• and
• a pet-attachment mechanism coupled to a distal end of the cable;
• an internal connecting mechanism configured to removably assemble the one or more weights, the anchor system, and the main body into a vertical stack by at least extending through the central lumen of the anchor body and into the internal recess on the bottom surface of the main body;
• and
• a locking mechanism comprising a spring-based component alterable between a locked state and an unlocked state via rotation of the locking mechanism, where the unlocked state of the locking mechanism comprises a position wherein no part of the locking mechanism physically engages the spindle or otherwise restricts movement of the cable within the housing.
