Abstract
A leash for a pet and method of use for donning and removing from a distance to eliminate the need for the human user to bend over or otherwise require their hands to touch or be in close proximity to the animal. The human user places the expanded collar loop of the leash over the head of the animal and subsequently secures the collar loop around the neck of the animal by pulling on the handle of the leash. A connection prevents the collar loop from unintentionally expanding when the leash is in use. The leash is removed by pulling a removal cord to expand the collar loop to allow the head of the animal to slide out from the collar loop.
