Some time soonish, I'd like to make a period correct leash and collar for Miss Ginsie. Although a bit of rope and some sort of leather harness around the neck was used (http://www.wga.hu/art/zgothic/miniatur/1451-500/21griman/12months.jpg), I really like the armband method as well: http://www.wga.hu/art/zgothic/miniatur/1451-500/21griman/08months.jpg
The armband, around the upper arm, with a rope that connects to the dog's collar, would leave my hands free but still keep Miss Ginsie from running up to people 50 yards away while setting land speed records. I really REALLY like this idea. It doesn't look like it would be hard to construct -a typical leather dog collar would work for Ginsie and I can use some re-inforced trim for my arm band...and I have rope....
