An internal, rechargable, battery operated device for outdoor use in deterring livestock from passing through an open gate in a fence. The device incorporates a detector which senses the body heat of a large approching animal and relays a signal to a special siren, thus producing high intensity ear-splitting sound waves to frighten them away. The sensing mechanism is of the type capable of detecting infrared heat generated by the animal's body. The operating principle of this invention is very s...

In a method of teasing a mare to ovulation, an audio tape recording is made of the voice of a sexually aroused stallion or gelded teaser. The tape is repeatedly played in the vicinity of the mare over a period of several days to stimulate the mare to ovulation.

An animal control system is provided in which an AM transmission signal includes qualification criteria which upon proper decoding provides intended stimuli to an animal. The transmit signal comprises modulated pulses having a first amplitude and a second amplitude which upon decoding represent logic zero and logic one states. The receiver employs microprocessor based digital circuitry for decoding and processing of the AM transmit signal. The transmit signal is transmitted in alternating odd an...

An apparatus and method for producing a variable intensity static stimulation. The variable intensity static stimulation increases in intensity if the animal continues to require correction. By varying the duty cycle of a periodic signal having constant amplitude and a constant duration, the intensity of the static stimulation is varied.

A system for confining and training a pet is provided. The system includes a stationary transmitter in communication with a receiver collar worn by a pet and the other configured as a portable transmitter for controlling the operation of the stationary transmitter. The stationary transmitter includes a correction signal generator and a warning signal generator which feed an amplifier having an adjustable amplification factor controlled by a processing device. The amplified correction signal is t...

An animal communication device is provided which is designed to solicit animal responses based on at least two of the five major senses. The device includes a module having associated therewith a plurality of physically perceivable attributes related to the senses. The animal activates the device by depressing a housing cover which activates a switch. Alternatively, a motion detector is used to detect the presence of the animal. In both instances, a record/playback device is activated so that a ...

A system (10) for confining an animal (18) in an area (16) defined by a boundary signal. The system includes a transmitter (22; 22A) to generate the boundary signal and an emitter such as a wire (20) to define area (16). The system also includes a receiver (26; 26A; 200; 200A) to be carried on the animal's neck. The receiver includes three selectively monitored and orthogonally-positional antennas (30, 32, 34; 202, 204, 206) to avoid missing a boundary signal. The receiver further includes code-...

A fenceless animal confinement system comprising portable units attached to the animal and including means for receiving GPS signals and for providing stimulation to the animal. The GPS signals are processed to provide location information which is compared to the desired boundary parameters. If the animal has moved outside the desired area, the stimulation means is activated. The signal processing circuitry may be included either within the portable unit or within a separate fixed station.

The improved animal training device (10) has a handle (12) which comprises a handle top member, a handle bottom member and a handle middle member (12C) and at least one striking plate (14) having a outer striking plate (14A) circumferentially attached to the handle middle member (12C). The improved animal training device (10) functions as an animal behavioral modification device in accord with Pavlovian Conditioning whereas when an animal is performing an undesirable act, a user strikes the impr...

This invention relates to a composition and procedure for manipulating the behaviour of the webbing clothes moth, Tineola bisselliella (Hummel) (Lepidoptera: Tineidae). In particular, this invention relates to the use of specific semiochemical and sonic signals for manipulating the behaviour of the webbing clothes moths. A composition of chemicals for manipulating the behaviour of clothes moths, said composition comprising two or more chemicals in all possible combinations and ratios selected fr...
