An animal tag that contains first and second three-dimensional accelerometers and a processing unit, where the first accelerometer registers a first acceleration vector describing a spatial movement of a first position of the animal tag, and the second accelerometer registers a second acceleration vector describing a spatial movement of a second position of the animal tag, the second position separated from the first position by a distance, and the processing unit receives the first and second acceleration vectors and based thereon determines at least one behavior-related parameter for an animal carrying the animal tag in the form of inclination angle(s) (ψ, Φ, θ) of the animal tag relative to a reference frame external to the animal tag, and/or an elevation of the animal tag relative to a reference level external to the animal tag.

Fluid delivery systems, methods and apparatus to dispense a dose of fluid on an animal, which may be particularly used for behavior modification of the animal, are disclosed. A system may particularly comprise an apparatus wearable by the animal. The apparatus is suitable for storing a fluid contained therein, and dispensing a dose of fluid on the animal, particularly to spur or otherwise induce behavior modification of the animal, particularly in response to training stimuli during a training scenario.

The present invention relates to a collar for non-human animals, preferably for companion animals, comprising a polymeric matrix and a lipid extract comprising sphingomyelins. It also refers to the collar for use as a medicine, particularly for use as an adjuvant and for use in the treatment or prevention of atopic dermatitis or allergic dermatitis, as well as in restoring the integrity of the skin during or after an atopic dermatitis or an allergic dermatitis, increasing the hydration and flexibility of the skin, facilitating skin regeneration or reducing itching of the skin.

The dog leash includes a dog leash body. An end of the dog leash body is provided with an annulus structure and forms a traction part. The traction part is provided with a buckle by butt-and-collar joint. The root segment of the traction part is covered with a sheath. The dog leash adapts flexible steel wire rope with good flexibility and high strength. The steel wire rope is coated with plastic layer, which has good touch feeling and high use comfort.

An anti-attack shock collar is a collar for an animal, and comprises an electronics unit; a power supply operable to create a potential difference between a first and a second terminal; at least one flexible strap secured at one position along its length to the electronics unit, having opposing ends which are releasably fastenable to each other to form a closed loop, and comprising first and second electrodes which are exposed or partially exposed on the exterior of the collar and are electrically connected to the first and second terminals of the power supply respectively; and a water sensor configured to detect the presence of water on a portion of the collar and, if water is detected on the portion of the collar, cause the electronics unit to prevent the power supply from being operated to create a potential difference between the first and second electrodes.

The invention relates to a refillable device (1) for spraying an active substance, comprising a reservoir (2) containing at least one active substance, said device being equipped with a piezoelectric spraying mechanism (6). The device is attached to or in the collar of an animal. The invention also relates to the use of said device for spraying an active substance in a controlled manner from a distance in a desired direction. Said device can be used multi-directionally independently of the movements of the animal.

An actuated collar is provided, the actuated collar comprising a pair of straps' ends operatively interconnected to each other via a mechanism adapted to momentarily alter the distance between the each of the straps' ends to reduce the length of the strap to choke an animal.

A pet containment apparatus for a truck bed that connects to the corner bed anchors and contains an overhead connection for the pet(s) to allow for free movement of the pet(s) in the truck bed, while keeping the pet(s) from exiting the truck bed. The apparatus may be static or adjustable and allow for single or multiple pets to travel safely in the truck bed. The pet(s) will be tethered overhead to allow for free movement. In preferred embodiments, the various elements of the apparatus include a sturdy, metallic frame with adjustable connectors to fit various truck beds.

A device for controlling the bark of an animal. The animal bark control device includes a housing having a curved bottom side extending between opposing distal ends forming an open neck receiving area. The curved bottom side can rest flush against a neck of a dog when mounted thereon. A speaker is disposed on a front side of the housing such that the speaker faces toward an ear of the dog when the housing is secured to a dog collar and mounted against the neck of the dog. The animal bark control device mounts to a dorsal region of a pet dog thereby allowing the speaker to deliver an audible corrective sound directly to the dog. A bridge extends from the housing, wherein the housing is movable along a longitudinal length of the bridge in order to adjust the placement of the housing when mounted to the dog.

Vapor wake detection is a highly advantageous method and system for detecting explosives and other illicit substances. With vapor wake detection, a canine and a handler are used; however, unlike other detection schemes, the canine leads the handler. After the handler positions the canine in a desired location, the canine detects scents in the air that come to the canine. When the canine detects a trained scent, the canine leads the handler to or follows behind the carrier of the item with the scent. Once the carrier is identified by the handler, the proper personnel are contacted. To implement vapor wake detection effectively, specific rigorous training is utilized.
