A leash handle assembly having a housing with a grip portion, a spool assembly rotatably mounted in the housing, a trigger movably mounted to the grip portion, and a dual-position switch mounted to the housing proximate to the grip portion. The spool assembly is adapted for winding and unwinding a leash cord. The movable trigger is actuated to inhibit the leash cord from extending or retracting, and released to enable the leash cord to extend out of the housing in response to an external force. The spooling assembly is spring biased to cause the leash cord to retract in the absence of trigger actuation and the presence of a preset external force. The dual-position switch operates in a first position to lock the trigger in an actuated position and in a second position to enable the moveable trigger to operate freely. The dual-mode switch is positioned to enable a user to actuate it with the same hand that grasps the leash handle and actuates the movable trigger.

1. A leash handle assembly comprising,a housing having a grip portion for enabling a user to grasp said leash handle assembly, a spool assembly rotatably mounted inside of said housing and adapted for selectively winding a leash card, a trigger movably mounted on a radially inner section of said grip portion, wherein said trigger is adapted for inhibiting rotation of said spool assembly in response to actuation of said trigger, and for enabling rotation of said spool assembly response to release of said trigger, and a dual-position switch movably mounted on said housing proximal to said grip portion, wherein said dual-position switch is adapted for operating in a first locked position to lock said trigger in an actuated position, and for operating in a second unlocked position for enabling free operation of said trigger.
