A collar includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes a first material strip having a first end and an opposing second end, a first connector coupled to the first end, and a second connector coupled to the opposing second end. The second portion includes a second material strip having a third end and an opposing fourth end, a third connector coupled to the third end, and a fourth connector coupled to the opposing fourth end. The first connector is configured to selectively engage with the third connector and the second connector is configured to selectively engage with the fourth connector to facilitate selectively coupling the first portion and the second portion together.

A training harness for a pet with a neck loop 16 placed over the neck of the pet. An upper connector 42 lays on the back of the pet with a lower connector 54 lying along the underside of the pet. A convertible strap 12 encircles the chest of the pet behind the front legs and connects with buckles to the upper connector strap 42. The left buckle of the upper connector is opposite to and mates with the left buckle of the convertible strap. The right buckle on the upper connector is opposite to and mates with the right buckle on the convertible strap. This allows the convertible strap 12 to be removed from the lower connector 54 and used apart from the balance of the device as a traditional collar with mating connectors at each end of the convertible strap 12. Multiple connection points are provided for attaching a leash for different training styles.

An anti-pulling animal collar includes a base collar having a front strap and a back strap having a centrally mounted leash D-ring. The front strap includes a first row of soft spikes, a second row of soft spikes, and a trachea portion positioned between the first row and second row of spikes. The trachea portion has two oppositely disposed soft spikes and a bridge extending between the two soft spikes. The trachea portion has a longitudinally extending strap channel through which extends the front strap. Each soft spike also has a strap channel through which extends the front strap. The soft spikes have a base and a pyramid shaped top portion that extends from the base in a direction towards the animal.

A method for limiting the volume of a crow of a rooster includes providing a collar that includes a strip of flexible material. The collar includes a securing element disposed on the strip and configured to secure the collar at the neck of the rooster. The method includes placing the collar around the neck of the rooster such that the strip encircles the neck of the rooster. After placing the collar around the neck of the rooster, securing the collar at the neck of the rooster via the securing element at a position and at a tightness around the neck of the rooster such that expansion of the neck of the rooster for breathing is allowed and further expansion of the neck of the rooster for crowing is restricted by the collar.

The present invention provides a releasable catch, such as for releasable attachment to a dog collar or the like. In particular, the present invention provides a releasable catch comprising a body having a first elongate portion and a second elongate portion, the first and second elongate portions being engaged with one another at a pivot region and pivotable relative to one another about the pivot region between an open configuration in which the second elongate portion contacts the first elongate portion at a first contact location to define a first closed aperture adjacent the pivot region and a second open aperture distal to the pivot region, and a closed configuration in which the second elongate portion also engages the first elongate portion at a second contact location along its length and close the second aperture distal to the pivot region, and wherein the second elongate member is biased in a direction towards the second contact location so as to bias the catch in the closed configuration. Also provided is a dog lead comprising an elongate flexible portion engaged with such a releasable catch.

An animal training system used to train an animal includes a movement controlling device and a wearable device. The movement controlling device includes a first segment and a second segment. The first segment is coupled to a first connecting member. The second segment is coupled to a second connecting member. The wearable device includes a first attachment point and a second attachment point. The first attachment point is located at a midline position of the wearable device. The first segment is configured to detachably couple to the first attachment point via the first connecting member. The second segment is configured to detachably couple to the second attachment point via the second connecting member.

A multi-configurable pet product and accessories are disclosed. The pet product can include a leash with a handle, clasp and leash connectors. A storage unit can be removably attached to the leash via storage unit connectors. The storage unit can have zippered pouches that are collapsible and expandable for storage of other items. In addition, the pet product can include a user mount that is wearable by the user via user mount connectors. Accordingly, the pet product can include multiple configurations for usage with a pet or without a pet.

The present disclosure relates to a necklace belt for a pet. More particularly, when a wearable sensor device for monitoring a bio-signal of the pet is coupled to the necklace belt for a pet and the necklace belt is worn around the pet, the necklace belt is easily and solidly bent according to a form of a body part of the pet, locked, not overturned on the body part of the pet, and not released even with repeated movements.

A system, apparatus, and/or method of may determine a caloric requirement of an animal. Animal characteristic data including a weight, body type, or breed of the animal may be received. Movement data of the animal may be received (e.g., received via a sensor) for a first predetermined time period. The movement data may include a speed of the animal, a distance traveled by the animal, a location of the animal, and/or steps taken by the animal. An activity level of the animal during the first predefined time period may be determined based on the movement data of the animal. A caloric requirement of the animal during a second predetermined time period may be determined. The caloric requirement of the animal may be based on the activity level of the animal and/or the animal characteristic data of the animal. The caloric requirement of the animal may be displayed.

An animal leash including a strap having a first end and a second end and a quick-release connector coupled to the strap. A first portion of the strap extends from the quick-release connector to the first end and a second portion of the strap extends from the quick-release connector to the second end. A locking member is coupled to the first and second portions of the strap to form a collar loop. The locking member may be alterable between: (1) a locked state in which a size of the collar loop is fixed; and (2) an unlocked state in which the size of the collar loop is adjustable.
