A secondary restraint assembly is provided as a means on maintaining control of a leash in the event of a sudden pull or movement to said leash. The secondary restraint assembly accomplishes this by being attached to a users forearm and unobtrusively engaging the leash. The secondary restraint assembly utilizes a harness assembly to attach to the users forearm. The harness assembly utilizes adjustable straps to secure itself to the forearm and serves as a mounting point for a harness plate. The harness plate contains an insert coupler that joins an insert plate to the harness assembly. The user couples an extended strap to the insert plate and joins the other end to the leash. With the leash secured to the extended strap, and the extended strap secured to the harness assembly through the insert plate, the secondary restraint assembly enables a user to maintain control of said leash.
