Conductive polymer multi-ridge electrode animal collar

A method for conditioning behavior in an animal using a conductive multi-ridge electrode assembly, comprising:

• providing a collar having a main body configured to generate electric stimuli therefrom, the main body having either an electronic receiver for receiving a plurality of signals from a remote control for activating the electric stimuli from a distance or a component disposed on the main body for activating the electric stimuli based on vocalization or movement of the animal;
• providing a pair of multi-ridge electrodes fabricated of a conductive material extending outwardly in a concave configuration from a base portion of a rear side of the main body at a first end and a second end of the base portion such that the electrodes and base portion form a unitary component, wherein the pair of multi-ridge electrodes is configured to have inner and outer indentations integrally formed with the base portion such that the inner indentations are suitable for receiving smaller animals and the outer indentations are suitable for receiving larger animals;
• providing a detachable housing having side walls, a top and a bottom, and an open rear side for slidably receiving the main body therethrough, wherein the housing is integrally formed with a pair of elongated planar members extending orthogonally from a band portion of the collar at a first end and a second end of the housing;
• positioning the collar around the animal's neck while inserted to the main body for support such that a convex portion of the animal's neck is secured within the concave configuration of the pair of multi-ridge electrodes and the base portion of the unitary component;
• and
• applying electrical stimulation to the animal in appropriate intervals.
