Patent ID: 8887670

Claim:
A remote controller held by a user to remotely control a training device worn by an animal to be trained by radio frequency (RF) communication, the remote controller comprising: at least one stimulation mode selection button for selecting a kind and mode of stimuli to be applied to the animal, the stimuli including at least an electrical impulse stimulation; a volume control for setting the level of stimulation to be applied to the animal, the volume control including a three-terminal potentiometer; a RF communication circuitry for transmitting signals including the kind and mode of stimuli and the level of stimulation to the training device through a transmitting antenna; and a microprocessor for processing the signals and controlling the RF communication circuitry, wherein the stimulation mode selection button includes a button capable of selecting a boost stimulation mode in which the stimulation to be applied to the animal to be trained is boosted by a predetermined number of levels and applied at the predetermined number of levels higher than a present level, and wherein the remote controller further includes a level increment setting means for allowing a user to set a level increment in the boost stimulation mode.
