Apparatus for leading an animal. The apparatus includes a belt sized for encircling a users hips. The belt has a closure for selectively joining longitudinally spaced portions of the belt to hold the belt in position around the users hips with an upper edge. The apparatus includes an anchor connected to the belt adjacent the upper edge. The anchor spans a predetermined longitudinal distance along the belt. The apparatus includes a connector slidably mounted on the anchor for connecting an animal lead to the belt such that an upper end of the lead is selectively positionable along the anchor for guiding the animal circumferentially relative to the user while restraining the animal.
