Abstract
A leash having a warning device that produces an arc sound and/or vibration generated by an electrical arc between electrodes in a manner such that no electricity can be imparted into a human or animal, and a method of using the leash. Also provided is an animal training device that mounts on a collar or harness worn by the animal, which produces an arc sound and/or vibration generated by an electrical arc between electrodes in a manner such that no electricity can be imparted into a human or animal, and a method of a using the animal training device.
Claims31
An animal leash comprising:
- a housing;
- a cord, wherein a first end of the cord being connected to the housing;
- a connector constructed to connect the cord to an animal collar or harness, the connector being connected to a second end of the cord;
- and
- an arc sound and/or vibration generating warning device connected to the housing or contained within the housing, the warning device comprising;
- a device body;
- a plurality of electrodes disposed within the device body, the electrodes being permanently encased so that no harmful electricity can be imparted into a human or animal from an arc generated across the electrodes;
- a power source;
- a transformer;
- and
- a switch, the electrodes being connected to the power source, the transformer, and the switch so that when the switch is activated an electrical arc is generated across the electrodes producing an arc sound and/or vibration.
