Abstract:

An animal harness is formed from a length of rope and includes a leash loop closed with a first rope locking mechanism, a top connecting line which terminates at a second rope locking mechanism, a shoulder loop, and a bottom connecting line which terminates at another rope locking mechanism. A girth loop is included in the animal harness. A method of restraining an animal includes placing the animal harness on the animal such that the girth loop encompasses the animals torso just behind the chest of the animal. The animals head is placed through the shoulder loop and the leash loop and a leash is attached to the leash loop. When the leash is pulled, the girth loop tightens around the abdomen of the animal which produces an instinctive submissive response and the animal ceases to pull against the leash.
