A connector assembly for a leash system including a connector and a connector receiver. The connector includes a first connector end that has a connector end center. The connector receiver includes a first gate that moves between a locked and an unlocked position. The first gate defines at least a portion of a connector cavity, with the connector cavity selectively receiving the first connector end when the first gate is in the unlocked position. The connector cavity also has a cavity center, with the cavity center and the connector end center being substantially identical when the first connector end is received by the connector cavity. The connector receiver further includes a receiver actuator that is coupled to the first gate. The receiver actuator can move in a first direction and a second direction, wherein moving the receiver actuator in the second direction moves the first gate to the unlocked position.
