The system also includes a user platform configured to receive input from a user, the platform being operable to define at least one permitted zone where the pet is permitted to reside and at least one restricted zone where the pet is restricted from entering, wherein the collar is configured to provide at least one positive stimulus when the collar moves from the at least one restricted zone back into the at least one permitted zone.

Wireless location assisted zone guidance system incorporating shepherding of wayward dogs
11246291 · 2022-02-15 ·

An assisted guidance region has a plurality of zones, each with an associated set of characteristics used to provide behavioral guidance to an animal. Behavioral guidance is extended to a wayward dog who has moved outside of the assisted guidance region by providing stimuli to shepherd the dog back into a safe zone. Positive stimuli are provided when the dog is moving in a direction back towards the safe zone, by providing a safe zone or similar stimulus. Movement away from the safe zone will trigger the unit to deliver a non-aversive second alert zone stimulus. Movement that isn't getting closer or further away triggers a first alert zone stimulus. Calculation of relative movement direction with regard to the safe zone is preferably based upon a comparison of sequential data table position displacements from an approximate center of the safe zone or from a manually selected location.

The base station is configured to record voice commands and transmit a signal which, when received by the wearable pet device, causes the wearable pet device to generate an audible output of the command.

LOCATION BASED WIRELESS PET CONTAINMENT SYSTEM USING SINGLE BASE UNIT
20220236367 · 2022-07-28 ·

A device is described herein comprising a base unit including at least three transceivers, wherein the at least three transceivers are communicatively coupled with at least one processor of the base unit. The at least one processor and the at least three transceivers are configured to determine locations of a transceiver remote to the base unit, wherein the location determinations comprise a series of transceiver locations along a boundary path, wherein the series of location determinations define a boundary region. The at least one processor determines locations using information of communications between the transceiver and the at least three transceivers and the relative positioning of the at least three transceivers.

Pet spray training system

An pet spray training system is provided. The system includes a sound, vibration or motion sensor that is configured to generate electrical signals in response to an occurrence. The system may include a filter, which is tuned to recognize a dog barking event, and generate an electrical signal in response to recognizing an input signal indicative of a dog's bark. The system further includes a removably pressurized gas reservoir that holds a deterrent fluid under pressure. The system additionally comprises a motor module configured to rotate a shaft in response to the electrical signal from the filter. The canister has a spray nozzle for releasing fluid that affects the dog's senses. In response to rotating the shaft, the spray nozzle is depressed.
