A quick leash system includes a flexible elongated member having a proximal end and a distal end, a handle portion disposed at the proximal end of said flexible elongated member, and a stopper attached to the flexible elongated member at a position at or near the distal end of said flexible elongated member, wherein the handle portion and the flexible elongated member are configured to move unabated through the pass-through engagement until the stopper prevents the distal end of the flexible elongated member from passing through the pass-through engagement.
