Abstract
An animal training system for controlling the behavior of the animal includes a receiver configured to be worn by the animal, and a hand held transmitter. The hand held transmitter includes a case with an front face, a transmitter circuit within the case for transmitting a wireless signal to the receiver, and an actuator at the front face of the case. The actuator is coupled with the transmitter circuit, and is a non-depressible actuator which is manually movable relative to the case.
Claims17
An animal training system for controlling the behavior of the animal, said animal training system comprising:
- a receiver configured to be worn by the animal;
- a hand held transmitter including a case, a transmitter circuit within the case for transmitting a wireless signal to said receiver, and an actuator coupled with said transmitter circuit, said actuator being a non-depressible actuator which is manually movable relative to said case, said actuator operable to both cause said hand held transmitter to initiate a signal to said receiver to begin to apply a stimulus to said animal, and to continually control its intensity in direct relation to said movement of said non-depressible actuator relative to said case;
- and
- said actuator being a rotatable dial and being further situated so that a portion of its radius extends past at least one of a front face, a side face, and a top face.
