Weekly Invention by InventionHome.com – "No Tangle, 2-Dog Retractable and Adjustable Leashes"

InventionHome announces their Invention of the Week – “No Tangle, 2-Dog Retractable and Adjustable Leashes”

Independent inventor January B. enlisted the help of InventionHome to assist her in finding marketing/licensing opportunities for her invention.


No Tangle, 2-Dog Retractable and Adjustable Leashes are designed to allow dog walkers to walk two dogs without intertwining the leads.
When walking more than one dog at the same time, it is easy to get the leads intertwined. The owner may end up getting a workout trying to figure out how to disentangle the mess. Once the leads are straightened out, it is often difficult to walk dogs that have vastly different temperaments, as one may want to chase birds in one direction while the other could refuse to move. Also, the conventional way of walking two dogs requires purchasing two leashes and then takes up both hands while walking, making it difficult to pick up waste and maintain control of the animals. A more efficient solution is necessary.




No Tangle, 2-Dog Retractable and Adjustable Leashes provide owners with an easy way to walk two dogs at the same time and gives dogs the freedom to walk without being tethered to each other. The tangle-free walking session is made possible by the patented Detangler, which moves freely up and down the two leads, continuously preventing the leads from becoming tangled. One or both dogs can be restrained or allowed to roam freely at a distance determined by the pet walker. Owners of multiple dogs and pet care professionals will appreciate the convenience and design of this unique product.



Fully developed prototype available upon request.

Weekly Invention by InventionHome.com – Dogaims™

InventionHome announces their Invention of the Week – Dogaims™


Independent inventor Dana E. enlisted the help of InventionHome to assist her in finding marketing/licensing opportunities for her invention.

Dogaims™ is a home tool to assist dog owners in training their pets in the home. The training system provides pet owners with an opportunity to teach and play with their pet without intimidation, expense, and transportation issues. It allows the consumer to enrich the dog’s life through teaching and entertainment so that as a result the dog becomes more attentive, respectful, and obedient. The product affords owner and pet interaction at any time of day, in any setting. It can also be played with more than one person so that the whole family and the dog can participate. It encourages positive reinforcement to ensure that unwanted behaviors, such as barking, destruction, and pulling on the leash are eliminated without the expense or inconvenience of formal training classes.



Effective dog training can assist in reducing the numbers of dogs being given up to shelters for unwanted behaviors, however pet owners are reluctant to attend training classes for a number of reasons. For many, it is a shortage of time and a lack of finances that prevents them from enrolling their dog in training classes. Others have transportation issues or physical limitations. Some also worry that their dog will be in a class with another dog that has aggressive tendencies. An at-home training system is needed.

Weekly Invention by InventionHome.com - The BKind® Leashing System

InventionHome announces their Invention of the Week – “The BKind® Leashing System”.
Independent inventor Jeremy Cohen enlisted the help of InventionHome to assist him in finding marketing/licensing opportunities for his invention.

The BKind® Leashing System is designed to absorb the shock generated when a dog pulls or lunges during exercise walking. This unique product spreads the energy and force created when the leash is pulled, so there is no shock to the anatomy of the dog or the walker. Because of its multi-directional and self-equalizing attributes, this innovative device enables the walker to keep their dog in a proper position, making handling their dog safer and easier.

The BKind® Leashing System incorporates shock cords and sliding rings in configurations that allow the force exerted from pulling on a leash to be dissipated through the shock cords, which run through material around the dogs’ torso. No pressure is applied to the dog’s throat, as occurs when a leash is applied to a common collar. The sliding rings allow the BKind® to be multi-directional and self-equalizing (meaning no matter which direction the dog moves, The BKind® Leashing System equally and effectively dissipates the exerted force across the dog’s anatomy, and helps reestablish the dog to the proper position for walking).

Placing The BKind® Leashing System on a dog involves two easy steps:1) Slip the neck loop over the dog’s head and bring the remaining portion up to the dog’s belly and sides.2) Clip the side cord (over the back) to the side clip, and the in-line cord (along the back) to the rear ring. From there, any leash (such as a BKind® leash) can be clipped to the rear ring.

Weekly Invention by InventionHome.com – Purrfect Potty

Weekly Invention by InventionHome.com – Pet Door Fire Exit

InventionHome announces their Invention of the Week – “Pet Door Fire Exit”.

Independent inventor Tom Kodat enlisted the help of InventionHome to assist him in finding marketing/licensing opportunities for his invention.

Pet Door Fire Exit allows a pet the ability to move outside the home without assistance from the owner, in the event of an emergency. The exit also allows the homeowner to release the animal before getting out of a car so that the pet can protect the owner as he moves to the house from the car. Pet Door Fire Exit consists of an electronic pet door with an internal RF transceiver, speaker, and digital recorder/player. The other main parts are a smoke detector with an internal RF transceiver, a handheld RF remote control, and pet collars with internal RF transmitters. The smoke detector, similar in appearance to a regular smoke detector, has an internal radio frequency (RF) transceiver operating at 900MHz or 2.4GHz. The frame of the electronic pet door would contain a digital voice recorder/player, a speaker, and an RF transceiver like the one in the smoke detector. Normally, a 12-volt converter at the nearest receptacle to the door will provide power. Both the smoke detector and the pet door could also contain rechargeable batteries so the devices could still function if the power is off. A handheld or keychain remote control can communicate with the transceiver in the pet doorframe, permitting the user to unlock the pet door, as desired. Pet collars with RF transmitters and devices that could open a screen or storm door such as a rod screw actuator and a replacement storm door handle with a 12-volt DC solenoid inside are also products used in this invention. The pet door could have a manual lock or latch so that it could function as a standard type of pet door. The PDFE smoke detector could replace an existing smoke detector in a home or could be installed in a different location. If the smoke detector senses smoke, it will signal the pet door by RF communication, causing the pet door to unlock and play the voice recording calling the pet(s) to the door. If unlocked by the smoke detector, all pet(s) will be able to exit but not re-enter. Pressing the "test" button on the smoke detector should unlock the pet door and activate playback of the voice recording calling the pet(s). Because the smoke detector and the electronic pet door are communicating by RF transmission, the pet door could direct the smoke detector to silence the alarm tone for some period of time (20 seconds for example) to ensure that the pet(s) can hear the voice playback. Without the voice-recording playback, the pet(s) would not know that the pet door is unlocked and that they are wanted outside. The PDFE handheld or keychain remote control will also cause the pet door to unlock and play the voice recording. In addition to being operated by the smoke detector or the remote control, the pet door RF transceiver could recognize pet collars with compatible RF transmitters. This could also be done with passive RFID tags in the collars and an RFID reader in the electronic pet door. The pet collars would allow the pet door to differentiate between pets so access through the door could be limited to just those with the compatible collar. One or more LEDs on the electronic pet door frame could indicate to the owner if the pet is inside or out if there is only one pet and if a battery in a pet collar needs to be replaced. The PDFE smoke detector is also made to sense and trigger in the event of high levels of carbon monoxide.
