Abstract
A restraint for an animal having a strap forming first and second connection loops and including first and second strap portions, having approximately equal lengths, connected between the connection loops to form a restraining loop. A first connector is affixed at the first connection loop, and a second connector is affixed at the second connection loop. A quick-release connector is disposed in line with and more proximate to one of the first or second strap portions to open the restraining loop. A clamp is slidably disposed over the first and second strap portions. The clamp divides the restraining loop into a primary loop and a secondary loop and maintains the size of the primary loop around the animal's neck, with the quick-release connector positioned to open the primary loop.
