Claim:
1. A stimulus delivery probe adapted to be mechanically secured to an animal training device and adapted to deliver an electrical stimulus to an animal, said stimulus delivery probe comprising: a compliant member in electrical communication with the animal training device when said stimulus delivery probe is mechanically secured to the animal training device, the animal training device being adapted to be carried by the animal and to generate the electrical stimulus, said compliant member being electrically conductive to the extent that said compliant member is capable of transferring the electrical stimulus, said compliant member being mechanically compliant to a force applied against said stimulus delivery probe between the animal training device and the animal when the animal training device is carried by the animal; a tip member mechanically secured to said compliant member such that said tip member is positioned in physical contact with the animal when the animal training device is carried by the animal, said tip member being electrically conductive and in electrical communication with said compliant member such that said tip member delivers the electrical stimulus to the animal when the animal training system generates the electrical stimulus; and a compliant member covering disposed about said compliant member, said compliant member covering being electrically insulative and flexible to the extent that it does not restrict the mechanical compliance of said compliant member.
