Abstract
The present invention to provides a dual leash for walking two dogs with a single compact leash while preventing entangling of the individual cables. Horizontal positioning of the spools achieves a more compact design as well as a new way to combine the rotation of the housing with a lock feature. The key to a compact design is to maximize the spool size for proper spring steel retraction functionality and maximization on cord length. Preferably, the companion animal is a canine. Another object of the present invention is to provide individual cable retraction with a non-entangle feature.
