Abstract
An animal training device for use with a head collar, a neck collar and a leash simultaneously includes: an elastic body removably coupled between the neck collar and the leash, the elastic body lengthening in response a separating force between the neck collar and the leash and an inelastic line removably coupled between a snout portion of the head collar and the leash, the inelastic line having a fixed length. When the animal pulls against the leash, the inelastic line exerts a force on the snout portion of the head collar.
Claims16
An animal training device for use with a head collar, a neck collar and a leash simultaneously, said animal training device comprising:
- an elastic body removably coupled between said neck collar and said leash, said elastic body lengthening in response to an increase in tension between said leash and said neck collar;
- an inelastic line removably coupled between a snout portion of said head collar and said leash, said inelastic line having a fixed length;
- and
- wherein lengthening of said elastic body causes said inelastic line to exert a force on said snout portion of said head collar.
An animal training device for use with a head collar, a neck collar and a leash simultaneously, said animal training device comprising:
- a first spool and a second spool mounted in a housing, said second spool being coupled to said first spool and said housing being removably coupled to said neck collar;
- a first inelastic line wound around said first spool, an end of said first inelastic line being removably coupled to said leash and said first inelastic line extending in response to an increase in tension between said leash and said neck collar;
- a second inelastic line wound around said second spool, an end of said second inelastic line being removably coupled to a snout portion of said head collar;
- a torsion spring coupled to said first spool, said torsion spring for biasing said first spool in a retracting direction;
- wherein extension of said first inelastic line causes said second inelastic line to retract and exert a force on said snout portion of said head collar.
An animal training device for use with an aversive restraint, a non-aversive restraint, and a leash, said animal training device comprising:
- means by which said aversive restraint is applied to an animal in response to said animal applying force above a preset threshold to said non-aversive restraint and said leash.
