Provided is a coupler for use with animals, the coupler having a stopper mechanism that is configured integrally with the main body and is capable of preventing transmission to the slide bar of a movement of the animal being connected as a retracting force. The coupler (SH, SHa, SH2, SH2a) is provided with: a hook section (Ho); a shaft section (SL, St) that extends from an end of the hook section in a first direction (Ds); a slide bar (Sb) for opening and closing the hook section by moving back and forth along the first direction; a coupling ring (CR1), which is connected to the end of the shaft section so as to rotate freely with the first direction as the axis and which has a specified external shape that extends in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; at least one projection (Pr, Bu, Sld) extending from the perimeter of the coupling ring by a specified length in the second direction; and an actuator part (Kn) connected to the slide bar and extending towards the coupling ring. When moved in the first direction, the actuator part (Kn) abuts only against the projection (Pr, Bu, Sld).
