Abstract:
An animal confinement/training system for controlling the behavior of the animal through electrical stimulation to the skin of the animal, said animal confinement/training system comprising:a stationary first transmitter for transmitting a first encoded signal;a portable second transmitter for transmitting an air-borne second encoded signal, said second transmitter comprising an animal training transmitter for selectively applying the electrical stimulation to the skin of the animal during training and configured for transmitting an air-borne third encoded signal; anda receiver including a receiver circuit coupled with a pair of electrodes, said receiver circuit being responsive to either of said first encoded signal and said second encoded signal for applying electrical stimulation to the skin of the animal with said pair of electrodes, said receiver further including a temporary disabling device for temporarily disabling said responsiveness of said receiver circuit to said first encoded signal, said receiver circuit being responsive to any of said first encoded signal, said second encoded signal and said third encoded signal for applying electrical stimulation of a corresponding intensity to the skin of the animal with said pair of electrodes.
