Collarless dog harness and leash joined thereto

In combination, a leash held by a person walking a dog, and a leash-controllable dog harness adapted to inhibit the dog from straining against the leash, the harness inducing the dog to come to a halt or to walk at an acceptable pace, said harness comprising:

• A. a shoulder junction adapted to overlie a dog's shoulder intermediate its right and left forelegs, each having a crotch leading to a sensitive pit, said shoulder junction including an openable loop;
• B. a chest junction adapted to lie adjacent the dog's chest;
• C. a pair of straps extending from the shoulder junction to the chest junction on opposite sides of the dog to conform the harness to the dog, said straps having an opening therebetween to receive the head of the dog whereby the harness may be installed on the dog or withdrawn therefrom;
• D. a pair of restraint cables having leading ends coupled to the chest junction, said cables passing through the respective foreleg crotches and then up opposite sides of the dog and through the loop of the shoulder junction, said cables having trailing ends which extend beyond said loop and terminate in rings to which said leash is coupled whereby when the leash is strained, the cables are then caused concurrently to ride up the crotches to engage and impose pressure on the foreleg pits to induce the dog to seek to relieve the pressure by slowing down or coming to a halt depending on the degree of applied pressure.
