Leash retractable

The leash shall consist of a strap with an attachment point for the dog at one end. The other end of the leash shall be attached to an encased reel with a handle and an attachment point for the handlers belt. The strap shall be a single ply of one continuous (splice free) length of material. The reel shall be provided with a mechanism that permits the handler to un-reel the leash any distance up to its full length and to securely lock it in place at that distance. The reel shall be spring-loaded so that the full length of the leash automatically re-winds on the reel when the locking mechanism is released. The reel shall also be provided with a manually-actuated braking mechanism which permits the handler to instantly stop the leash at any position both while it is unreeling and while it is rewinding. The reel enclosure shall incorporate a built-in handle.
