Abstract
A low impedance probe for delivery of a corrective stimulus to an animal. The low impedance probe includes an electrode for directing an electrical stimulus from an electrical source toward the skin of an animal. A conductive gel source is configured to provide conductive gel to a region between the electrode and the animal upon positioning of the electrode proximate the skin of the animal. The conductive gel establishes improved electrical connectivity between the electrode and the animal.
Claims20
A low impedance probe for use with an electronic animal training apparatus, said low impedance probe comprising:
- an electrically conductive member comprising:
- a first end adapted to physically connect to the electronic animal training apparatus, said first end adapted to make a first electrical connection to the electronic animal training apparatus thereby allowing receipt of an electrical stimulus from the electronic animal training apparatus;
- and
- a second end adapted to reside in close physical proximity to the animal, said second end adapted to be in electrical connection with the animal thereby allowing transfer of an electrical stimulus from the electronic animal training apparatus to the animal;
- and
- a conductive gel source configured to provide conductive gel in physical and electrical communication with said second end, said conductive gel adapted to be in physical and electrical communication with the animal, said conductive gel reducing an electrical impedance between said electrically conductive member and the animal.
