An electronic training collar and base system using at least one electronic training collar in combination with at least one base to prevent the pet from entering the area around the base. The electronic training collar has a housing with a receiver, a shocking component, an audio alarm component, and a vibrating signal component. The audio alarm component is adapted to emit a tone when activated, the vibrating signal component is adapted to emit a vibration when activated, and the shocking component is adapted to emit a shock when activated. A base has a transmitter that emits a signal which is received by the receiver of the electronic training collar when a pet wearing the electronic training collar is within a range of the base effectively activating either the shocking component, the audio alarm component, the vibrating signal component or a combination of the components. The base may be shaped as a mat which is durable and hand washable. A beacon scanner and beacon transmitter could be used in place of the receiver and transmitter respectively.

An electronic animal collar assembly for tracking, confining, and training an animal includes a collar, which is securable around a neck of an animal, such as a canine. An electronics module comprising a transceiver, a stimulator, and a receiver is engaged to the collar. The transceiver is Global Positioning System enabled. Programming code is selectively positionable on an electronic device, such as a cellphone of a user, enabling communication with and control of the electronics module to selectively track the animal, using the transceiver, and to selectively confine and correct the animal using the stimulator and one or both of the transceiver and the receiver.

A dog leash that prevents tangling between a dog's legs. The dog leash has a flexible cord with a handle at a first end, a fastener at a second end for refastenably connecting the flexible cord to a collar, and a stiffening agent applied to an exterior surface of the flexible cord along a partial length of the flexible cord near the second end.

An improved quick-release connector that may be used with a pet collar. The connector is fabricated entirely of metal and operates using one magnet. The connector is easily modified to break apart under different pull forces.

Various arrangements for different purposes are created with a strap, a flat metal buckle or catch, and a receiver. The buckle or catch and the receiver have having slotted openings to attach the element to the strap at positions which may be adjustable for fixed. A receiver post with a magnetic base engages an opening in the buckle or catch for a secure engagement of the buckle or catch with the receiver. Other arrangements are also described.

The invention relates to a collar-leash assembly with integrated reel for a pet such as a dog. The leash of this collar-leash assembly can be withdrawn by unwinding, then, after use, retracted by allowing it to wind itself up. This collar-leash assembly with integrated reel for a pet comprises:—a collar (1) intended to be wound around a part of the body of the animal,—a housing (2) secured to the collar (1) and provided with a leash reel (22, 25), this housing comprising a base (4), a housing body (10), a part having a hollow, tapped center (16, 27, 31), and an assembly screw that is able to cooperate with this part (16, 27, 31), the base (4) comprising a planar part (5) having a hole (6) at its center and two branches (7) and the housing body (10) being free to rotate relative to the base (4) of the housing (2), a leash (43) of which one end is secured in the leash reel (22, 25) and—a gripping loop (3) which is secured to the other end of the leash (43) and of which the interior corresponds to the lateral perimeter (13) of the housing (2).

An animal training and control device eliminates control and training forces from being applied to the animal's tracheal region. The device may form a loop or open area around the animal's tracheal region and have a shape that distributes control forces to strategic touch points, include lateral areas of the animal's neck, the chest area and an area under the chin of the animal Stiffening elements may be provided in the neck engaging sections. Curved transitions, combined with a flexible construction, which may be unitary and molded or formed, and interaction of the stiffening elements provides a unique combination of forces applied to the strategic touch points during control of the animal and permits full range of head movement without buckling of the device. A gripping pattern may be formed into an engaging surface on the device to enhance fit and reduce movement of the device relative to the animal.

A device to be worn by a subject for determining whether the subject is inside or outside of a containment zone, established by a user moving the device along a plurality of segments about the containment perimeter, the segments crossing the containment perimeter at an angle. There is a positioning unit for generating position data, including satellite positioning data, for the device. There is a processor unit configured to, while in a perimeter learn mode, establish the containment perimeter by receiving at least two segment waypoints from the position data for each of the plurality of segments, determine from the segment waypoints a containment perimeter waypoint for each of the segments and connect the containment perimeter waypoints to establish the containment perimeter. While in a contain mode, the processor determines from the position data if the subject is inside or outside of the containment zone.

Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a system, which comprises a first leash handle and a second leash handle. The first leash handle comprises a first pulley and a first retractable belt. The first leash handle comprising a first weighted portion that adds at least 400 grams to a weight of the first leash handle, first pulley, and first belt without the weighted portion. The second leash handle comprises a second pulley and a second retractable belt. The second leash handle comprising a second weighted portion that adds at least 400 grams to a weight of the second leash handle, second pulley, and second belt without the weighted portion.

A collar assembly includes a main body configured in an uninterrupted loop, the main body having an outer surface, an elongated body extending away from the main body, the elongated body configured to at least partially wrap around and connect to the outer surface of the main body and the elongated body having a holding portion thereby allowing a user to use the elongated body as a leash.
