Other than its comfort and safety levels, it would not do for a gruff animal to be sporting a prissy and flowery design around its neck.. Since dogs treats their owners as though the alpha dog, many a time a well trained animal does not simply run off for no practical reason.

For the canine, dog collars and leashes make everyday symbols of man as master, dog as follower. Some are made of basic and lightweight materials whereas others sports the heavier leather strips. Delving headfirst into the world of collars, these bands come in all shapes and sizes to suit each and every owner's desire. It is logical to state that a dog should be paired off with an appropriate pet restrainer. Often times, this presumption is sorely tested in the park when an owner can be seen running at breakneck speeds as he is being dragged along by his pet of Jared proportions. Due to man's fear of their pets escaping the confines of a supposedly safe haven, various contraptions have been created to ensure no runaways.

For the avian, maddie cages come to mind.
