Abstract
A remote controlled quick release animal leash includes a solenoid attached to the leash or tether along with a battery pack that powers the solenoid to uncouple a coupling mechanism when a radio signal is transmitted from a remote transmitter to a radio receiver located on the tether. Further, the coupling mechanism can be uncoupled by a cable release having a finger loop near the hand grip of the leash, or by pushing a button on the control box, which is near the hand grip. In an alternative embodiment, a manually operated cable runs from the hand grip to the uncoupling mechanism, which, when actuated, detaches the leash from the animal collar, and hence from the animal.
