A pet leash includes a loop handle that is configured to fit loosely over a user's wrist or to be held in the user's hand. A sliding cinch member is disposed on the loop handle and is configured to allow a user to adjust the size of the loop between the sliding cinch member and the end of the loop handle, allowing a user to place their hand through the loop and slide the sliding cinch member to make the portion of the loop handle over the user's wrist fit snugly.
