A safe and humane head collar for an animal includes a clasp and a head strap extending through first and second channels formed in the clasp. The head strap has a first end secured to a slip loop and a second end secured to a lead attachment. The head strap passes once through the slip loop to form a head loop for passing over a head of the animal. The safe and humane head collar also includes a nose strap extending through third and fourth channels formed in the clasp to provide a nose loop for passing over a nose of the animal, the nose strap having first and second ends terminating below the clasp. When fitted to the animal, the clasp secures a portion the first and second ends of the nose strap and a portion of the head loop below a lower jaw of the animal, and the head loop is positioned so that the slip loop is situated behind an ear of the animal.

The present invention is directed to a simplified system and methods for managing an animal's behavior. Preferred embodiments of the present invention include an apparatus formed from at least one pattern shaped from a single piece of material. In certain preferred embodiments, the at least one pattern may include a snout portion and one or more fastening elements. The size and shape of the snout portion may be defined by a first connecting edge, second connecting edge, anterior edge, and posterior edge. In some embodiments, the first connecting edge may be attached near or to the second connecting edge to form a configured pattern. The configured pattern may be positioned on an animal so that the snout portion surrounds the animal's snout limiting movement of the animal's lower jaw. In some embodiments, the configured pattern may include one or more edges sized and shaped to fit more comfortably on the animal's head.

Embodiments of a dog restraining apparatus comprise a dog collar and a collar positioning assembly. The collar is configured to attach to a leash at a location behind the dog's head when the collar is secured around the dog's neck. The collar positioning assembly includes an alignment strap having ends attachable to the collar at respective collar attachment locations such that the alignment strap is extendable across the dog's nose bridge when the dog collar is secured around the dog's neck The collar attachment locations may be adjustable along the collar. The alignment strap may have a continuous or non-continuous bead of elastomer disposed on its interior surface to frictionally engage the dog's nose. The collar positioning assembly may be readily detachable from, and re-attachable to, the collar. Attachment of the strap ends may be facilitated by intervening structures such as strap end loops, O-rings and releasable collar attachment loops.

A pet wellness and training device intended to be worn inside an animal's mouth, and a method for manufacturing the same. More specifically, the pet wellness and training device comprises: an upper barrier configured to be disposed at least partially adjacent to a roof of the animal's mouth, a lower barrier configured to be disposed at least partially adjacent to a floor of the animal's mouth, a frame disposed between and connecting the upper barrier and the lower barrier, a breathable barrier extending between at least a portion of the upper barrier and at least a portion of the lower barrier, and at least one expansion member configured to urge the upper barrier and the lower barrier away from each other. In some embodiments, the upper and lower barrier may be integrally formed as one piece, configured to fit securely inside the animal's mouth.

A pet muzzle includes a muzzle body, including a cage, and a strap system. The strap system includes a neck strap section and two pairs of side strap sections, each including an upper and a lower section that are connected to each other at proximal ends and connected to the muzzle body at distal ends thereof. The connection locations on the muzzle body are arranged around a periphery of an open end thereof. The cage includes a plurality of elliptical or oval openings, including a mouth opening. A scavenger grille may be coupled in the mouth opening. The muzzle and grille are formed of material that is at least partially transparent.

The invention relates to a dog's anti-biting controller, which comprises a snout muzzle (1) including air-inflating tubes (9a,9b) and a main collar (4) consisting of rechargeable battery with PCBA (5), an air-tube (10), air pump (6), and air-valve (8). The working mechanism of the invention is activated when the dog is out of control and attempts to bite humans. The main collar (4) and snout muzzle (1) can be activated with an order signal from a remote controller or connected line controller. This signal triggers the activation of the air pump (6) and air valve (8), which supply air via the air supply pipe located inside the collar connector (2) to the air tubes (9a, 9b,10) inflating them to force the closure of the dog's mouth and choke its neck.
