Abstract
A training device allows the user to control an animal on a lead and enables the emission of audible signals for instructing the animal. The device comprises a leash, one end portion of which is purposed to be gripped by a user, while the end portion remote from the user is structured for connection to an animal. A sound producing element includes a sound actuator operably positioned in the leash structure for ready actuation by the user's fingers, thus facilitating quick sound actuation by the user for animal instruction utilizing audible training signals.
Claims36
A device for training animals using audible training signals for the positive reinforcement of desirable animal behavior, said device comprising:
- a. a leash structure adapted for connection to an animal;
- and
- b. a sound producing element operably positioned within the leash structure and including a sound actuator within the leash structure, said actuator being so dimensioned and positioned as to enable sound actuation by the user for the positive reinforcement of desirable animal behavior, thus facilitating positive reinforcement animal instruction utilizing audible training signals.
A device for training animals using audible training signals for the positive reinforcement of desirable animal behavior, said device comprising a strap for wrapping around a leash or a leash handle, said device comprising:
- a. a sound producing element positioned on a surface of said strap and comprising a sound actuator;
- and
- b. operable securing means positioned at or near first and second ends of said strap to releasably attach said first and second ends to each other, whereby said strap can be adjusted for access to said sound actuator for training animals using audible training signals for the positive reinforcement of desirable animal behavior.
A device for training animals using audible training signals for the positive reinforcement of desirable animal behavior, said device comprising:
- a. a leash structure for connection to an animal, with a handle for gripping by a user;
- and
- b. a sound producing element operably configured within said handle and comprising an actuator;
- said actuator being so dimensioned and positioned as to enable sound actuation by the user for the positive reinforcement of desirable animal behavior, thus facilitating positive reinforcement animal instruction utilizing audible training signals.
A method for training an animal using audible training signals for the positive reinforcement of desirable animal behavior, comprising the steps of:
- a. providing a device for training animals using audible training signals for the positive reinforcement of desirable animal behavior, said device comprising:
- i. a leash structure adapted for connection to an animal:
- ii. a sound producing element operably positioned within the leash structure and including a sound actuator within the leash structure, said actuator being so dimensioned and positioned as to enable quick sound actuation by the user for the positive reinforcement of desirable animal behavior:
- and
- b. having a user connect the leash to the animal and train the animal by actuating the sound actuator to produce a sound to positively reinforce desirable animal behavior.
