leashes

Canine walking restraints

Leashes are straps or cords used to restrain or control an animal, typically attached to a collar: She walked three dogs on separate leashes.

Figuratively, a leash represents any restraint on freedom or independence: The new regulations kept the industry on a short leash.

To leash is to attach such a restraint; to unleash is to release it.
