A combined swivel and snap fastener is attached to the second loop. A second flexible line, shorter than the first, has one end thereof with a third loop thereon large enough to receive a human hand therethrough and this second flexible line has a swivel end snap fastener attached to the other end thereof. A pet collar is attached to the second combination snap and swivel fastener. A third fastener line, also shorter than the first flexible line, has a fourth loop on one end thereof large enough to receive a human hand and the other end thereof has a combination swivel and snap thereon.
