An invention engaged in a program or system to toilet-train a house pet in two or three stages after which said pet will routinely relieve itself into the toilet bowl. The initial embodiment may be in an outdoor venue, as in the case of a dog. The second stage may commence in the bathroom, on the floor, where the owner will continue the training program. Ultimately, the preferred embodiment will be resting atop the toilet seat or the toilet bowl rim where the trainee will deposit its excreta directly, without hesitation or ceremony.

A flooring system includes a flooring panel and a support element. The flooring panel has an outer periphery and defines an upper panel plane and a lower panel plane that is offset from the upper panel plane. The flooring panel includes a plurality of openings formed therethrough within the outer periphery. The support element extends lengthwise between opposing ends and includes an upper edge and a lower edge. The support element extends through and operatively connects with the flooring panel such that the upper edge is disposed in approximate alignment with the upper panel plane and the lower edge is disposed in offset relation to the lower panel plane in a direction opposite the upper panel plane. Methods of assembly are also included.

A litter distribution apparatus provides for even distribution of a bedding material to an animal containment area for animal husbandry operations. The distribution apparatus has vertically adjustable skid legs that support the apparatus at a desired elevation as it is drawn across a ground surface of the containment area. A frame and litter containment skirt allow for the accumulation of the bedding material and even disposition along the ground surface based on the selected elevation of the skid legs. The skid legs may be vertically adjustable via an actuator.

A machine or apparatus to capture dog urine and solid waste for generally indoor use by a dog owner that automatically or manually advances fresh pads on a predetermined programming of the machine by the control module.

A pet toilet that identifies a pet device by using the pet device worn by a pet includes an electromagnetic signal receiver that receives a first electromagnetic signal including pet device information from a plurality of pet devices, a connection unit that is connected to at least one of the plurality of pet devices based on the strength of the received first electromagnetic signal, an electromagnetic signal transmitter that transmits a second electromagnetic signal to the at least one pet device, and an identification unit that identifies a specific pet device worn by a specific pet from the pet device information based on the strength of the second electromagnetic signal received by the at least one pet device from the at least one pet device.

A pet waste scooper includes a handle portion, a scoop portion, and a support portion. The scoop portion has a receptacle for receiving pet waste and is at least partially defined by a bottom wall and a front wall. The support portion extends between the handle portion and the scoop portion and is configured to provide structural support to the pet waste scooper. The handle portion, the scoop portion, and the support portion are a unitary component that includes a pulp material.

An automated pet waste collection and disposal apparatus is presented herein. The apparatus includes automated closing door, pivotal at or near the bottom, such that the door can be disposed in an open, extended position and closed, substantially vertically oriented position. When the door is open and/or extended, the top portion thereof defines a main collection surface designed to act as a surface upon which a pet may leave its waste. A movable nozzle assembly is disposed on the interior of the apparatus and is used to spray water or fluid upon the main collection surface for cleaning. The nozzle assembly moves in a manner to spray the entire or a substantial portion of the main collection surface of the door.

An apparatus for raising poultry and livestock may comprise a plurality of elevated boards configured to be assembled with each other, and each of the elevated boards has a platform. At least two paralleled supporting boards respectively protrude from a bottom portion of the platform, and a flowing channel is formed between the two supporting boards. A top surface of the platform has a plurality of holes penetrating the platform, and each of a first pair of adjacent sides of the platform has at least a connecting slot while each of a second pair of adjacent sides of the platform comprises at least a protruding piece which is configured to engage with the connecting slot when two elevated boards connected.
