How the SHOP & WALK DOG LEASH Works
The inventor described the problem the design addresses: "I thought there should be a modified dog leash for easy attachment to a shopping cart, wheelchair, baby stroller, or flat cart." The leash is designed to offer a quick and compact way to secure the held end of a leash to a cart or other item, and it eliminates the need to take the leash off the dog and loop it through the cart for attachment.
The design includes a prototype, available upon request. The invention has been submitted to the National sales office of InventHelp and is available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers who may wish to bring it to market. InventHelp features the design in its Invention Spotlight program, a marketing channel that highlights select inventions to manufacturers and marketers, according to company records.
