An animal restraint system. The animal restraint system includes a club and a locking device within the club. The locking device includes a first movable object and a second movable object. The locking device also includes a housing. The housing defines at least a cavity, a first bore for receiving the first movable object, and a second bore which opens into the cavity and intersects with the first bore, and in which the second movable object is at least partially disposed. Upon movement of the first movable object into a locking position within the first bore, the second movable object is caused to be moved to a position securing an external object within the cavity.
