The present invention is a hand free dog leash which enables a person to walk his/her dog without having to hold the leash. The invention includes unique features of having a pulley which rides on a flexible waist cord which in turn is attached by swivels to a waist belt to permit the dog to move side to side without unbalancing the person. The leash also includes a leash handle and a quick release mechanism to release the dog from the pulley and waist belt in the event of an emergency. The leash has a flexible coil and hook assembly to prevent the leash from abruptly pulling on the dog's collar and neck and also provides flexibility to permit the dog to move without unbalancing the person.
