Leash attachments designed to reduce the tangling of a pet leash around the hind legs of a pet during a walk are provided. The leash attachment can be a rearward leash positioner comprising a strap configured to secure around the torso of a pet. A leash guide member attached to the strap is designed to reposition the fall point of a leash to a position that is rearward of its fall point in the absence of the leash positioner.
