Abstract: A control module used in combination with an activation device for generating an activation signal in response to a stress exposure training event and an electrical impulse device for delivering an electrical shock to the user. The control module has a housing for being carried on the user. The module includes a controller function which sends a shock signal to the impulse device to shock the user according to prescribed shock criteria in response to an activation signal. The control module can be used with various activation devices including light-based force-on-force training or video shoot-back simulations. An operator input of the controller enables the prescribed shock criteria stored on the controller which is carried on the user to be adjusted by an operator directly at the module or remotely.

Abstract: A pet accessory pendant is provided. The pet accessory pendant houses components for a pet accessory, such as a bark control device, a containment fence receiver, a remote trainer, a pet locator, and the like. The pet accessory pendant is mountable to animal collars of various sizes, lengths, widths, and thicknesses. Specifically, the pet accessory pendant is attachable to an animal collar such that the pet accessory pendant comfortably hangs in a pendant fashion and minimizes pressure points on the animal. Additionally, the pet accessory pendant is readily attachable to and detachable from the collar without removing the animal collar from the animal, thereby reducing the need to adjust the fitment of the pet accessory pendant for each use. Thus, the pet accessory pendant allows a single animal collar to be easily converted between a general-purpose animal collar and an animal collar with attached pet accessory. Furthermore, the ease of attachment and detachment allows for quickly changing pet accessories, leashing the animal without removing the animal collar to detach the pet accessory, replacing the battery, or modifying the pet accessory controls.

Abstract translation: 提供宠物附件吊坠。 宠物配件吊坠装有用于宠物配件的组件，例如树皮控制装置，遏制围栏接收器，远程教练器，宠物定位器等。 宠物附件吊坠可安装到各种尺寸，长度，宽度和厚度的动物领。 具体来说，宠物附件挂件可附着在动物领上，使得宠物附件吊坠舒适地挂在吊饰上，并使动物的压力点最小化。 此外，宠物附件吊坠可以容易地从衣领附接到衣领上并且可从该衣领上拆下，而不需要将动物衣领从动物中取出，从而减少了为每次使用调整宠物附件吊坠的配件的需要。 因此，宠物附件吊坠允许单个动物衣领在通用动物领和具有附属宠物附件的动物领之间容易地转换。 此外，安装和拆卸的容易性可以快速更换宠物配件，在不移除动物领带的情况下捆绑动物领带以分离宠物配件，更换电池或修改宠物配件控件。

Abstract: A custom-shaped wireless fence system is provided that contains one or more dogs in a user-defined containment area without the need for a physical fence or underground wire. The system, which is easy to set up and use, includes at least three base units and at least one collar and, preferably, a remote controller. A virtual fence is defined around the containment area, as well as around optional exclusion zones within the containment area, during system set up through communication between the base units and a trackable device as the user walks around the desired border. Visualization software enables the user to verify that the location of the fence is as desired and that the system is operating properly using a computing device having a display screen. In use, the system employs improved filtering of consecutive distance measurement values taken between the base units and the collar to discount errant measurement values in terms of their contribution to the current calculation of the dog's location. These filtering techniques, in combination with improved signal strength and antenna diversity in the communication between the base units and the collar, improve the accuracy and consistency with which the dog's location within a containment area is tracked so that unwanted corrections are not administered to the dog.

Abstract: A radial-shaped wireless fence system is provided that contains one or more dogs in a user-defined area without the need for a physical fence or underground wire. The system includes a base unit and at least one collar, and is easy to set up and use. Through improved filtering of consecutive distance measurement values taken between the base unit and the collar, errant measurement values are discounted in terms of their contribution to the current estimate of the dog's distance from the base unit. These filtering techniques, in combination with improved signal strength and antenna diversity in the communication between the base unit and the collar, improve the accuracy and consistency with which the dog's distance from the base unit is tracked so that unwanted corrections are not administered to the dog.

Abstract: Embodiments of the claimed subject matter relate to devices, systems and methods using those devices used in training animals, and more particularly, devices that can be attached or used in conjunction with collars and/or leashes with provide one or more alerts for eliciting and enhancing the responsiveness of the animal. One example device for training animals includes a housing with a connector for a leash, a noise emitter capable of producing one or more noises with one or more ranges of frequencies, a circuit that signals the audio device to provide or stop the one or more noises and a switch to activate the circuit. The circuit is activated when the leash is pulled with a predetermined amount of force and the circuit activates the noise emitter which produces one or more noises. The circuit is deactivated when the leash is released and the noise emitter stops emitting noise.

Abstract: An animal training apparatus including an electrical conductor embedded within a flexible member, and a housing having a through-opening for receiving the electrical conductor therethrough. The flexible member is molded around the electrical conductor and the antenna, while the electrical conductor is positioned such that it extends into the housing through the through-opening. As a result of the molding process, the flexible member shields the housing through-opening, discouraging substances such as water from accessing the interior of the housing via the through-opening.

Abstract: A device for humanely controlling an animal's behavior while on a restraining device such as a leash by using the resistant force between animal and restraint to engage a trigger that activates release of a distracting or deterrent spray or gas, or a sound. The device is attached to the animal's body, with the triggering mechanism against the animal's skin. In its application as a means to train dogs to walk on a loose leash, the trigger may be situated inside a collar, such that triggering occurs when the dog pulls the leash taut. Triggering can also occur if the user pulls back on the leash to administer a correction. The trigger's springiness additionally provides shock-absorbing protection to the animal's neck. Embodiments with enhanced features, based on the same mechanical principle, are also described.
