Particles that follow gravity

How would I get a particle to "droop" or have gravity when following target. For example a leash particle, going from the collar to the person's hand and having a slight curve towards the ground.

Thank you for any help!

Some acceleration applied in the negative z direction should do that, but it probably won't look symmetrical and might not do what you want for all distances. You'll have to play with the ratio between the magnitude of the acceleration and the particle lifetime (this will change how quickly the acceleration towards the target dominates the constant acceleration you apply).
