| Abstract: |
Apparatus and method for an animal restraint are provided, wherein the animal restraint can be fabricated from a single continuous piece of cord with a series of knots formed therein. The series of knots includes a slide knot through which two lengths of the cord are passed in a substantially side-by-side manner. The cord is configured to define a head hole, a first leg hole, and a second leg hole, wherein the sizes of the first and the second leg holes are adjustable by moving the two lengths of cord in an adjustably slidable manner through the slide knot.
