Apparatus and method for delivering an auditory stimulus

A pet training device comprising,

• one of more applications running on at least one processor;
• a sound generation component, at least one sensor, and a memory, wherein the sound generation component, the at least one sensor, the memory, and the one or more applications are communicatively coupled;
• the at least one sensor for detecting auditory events;
• the one of more applications configured to activate the sound generation component upon detection by the at least one sensor of an auditory event of the auditory events, wherein the activated sound generation component delivers an auditory stimulus at a sound pressure level, for a duration, and using a noise pattern, wherein the activating the sound generation device includes storing in the memory a time of the delivered auditory stimulus and parameters of the delivered auditory stimulus, wherein the parameters include the sound pressure level, the duration, and the noise pattern, the one or more applications configured to monitor elapsed time between occurrences of auditory events, the one or more applications configured to change at least one of the parameters when the elapsed time between occurrences falls below a first threshold value, the one or more applications configured to log an indication that parameters of a delivered auditory stimulus are effective parameters when the elapsed time between occurrences exceeds a second threshold value, wherein the activated sound generation component delivers an auditory stimulus using the effective parameters of sound pressure level, duration, and noise pattern upon a subsequent occurrence of an auditory event.
