An obedience training pet leash and harness system includes a housing. A primary leash is coiled within the housing. The primary leash extends from an opening in the housing with a primary lead that is disposed on a distal end of the primary leash, outside of the housing. A handle is formed on the housing, as well as a clutch trigger. The clutch trigger is configured to restrain the primary leash when the clutch trigger is engaged by the user. The handle has a control center. The control center is designed to control a number of obedience modules. The obedience modules are installed on a harness. The harness is designed to be worn by a pet and is designed to be secured to the primary lead.

A dog training system is disclosed herein. The dog training system generally comprises a mobile device, a collar, and a treat dispenser. The mobile device has software installed on it that is capable of wirelessly operating the various functions of the collar and the treat dispenser. In many embodiments, the software, which is usually a dog training application installed on the mobile device, is capable of operating the functions of the collar and the treat dispenser automatically when certain pre-set parameters are met. This system may allow for simple, efficient, and effective dog training without much effort on the part of a dog owner or trainer.

The present disclosure provides intelligent lighting control system configured for positioning on a floor surface and having a controller communicably coupled to a vibration sensor facing the floor and configured to detect movement in a room via the floor so as to control a flow of electricity received at an electrical wall outlet to a corded luminaire.

An unmanned aerial vehicle for determining geolocation exclusion zones of animals. The unmanned aerial vehicle includes a processor-based monitoring device to track geolocation information associated with an animal from the unmanned aerial vehicle, an identification device mounted on the unmanned aerial vehicle to identify the animal and to track a position of the animal over time, and a mapping device coupled to the monitoring device to determine locations where the animal has traversed and to identify where an encounter with the animal is reduced.

Systems and methods for communicating with a guide animal are provided. One embodiment of a method includes determining a first command to provide to a user to proceed to a destination, determining a second command to provide to the guide animal to correspond with the first command, and outputting the first command to direct the user toward the destination. Some embodiments include outputting the second command to direct the guide animal toward the destination, where the second command is outputted to be imperceptible by the user but is perceptible by the guide animal.

An electronic sensing device used to detect the presence of a pet thereon and emit a communication through an audio alert or notification to the pet's owner of the pet's need to leave the house or go outside through a selected pre-programmed audio sound produced through speakers or a wireless notification (e.g., such as a push notification, e-mail, or any other type of wireless notification) transmitted to a smart phone or other electronic device (e.g., software program or application, etc. . . . ); or one or both, as desired.

An animal interaction device is provided that includes a food access component which allows and disallows access to at least a portion of the food. In various embodiments, the allowing and disallowing of access to at least a portion of the food is dependent upon the animal's condition. A method is also provided such that the device above is provided to an animal, one or more indicators are optionally activated, the animal's first condition is sensed via one or more sensors, and based upon the animal's condition, the previously protected food is made accessible, and subsequently the protected food is made available again based upon the animal's second condition. A system is also provided for automatically interacting with an animal including at least one animal interaction device each of which comprises an initial interaction algorithm to automatically interact with the animal. Other aspects of the invention are provided.

An animal exercising treadmill and waste disposal apparatus including a parallelepiped platform having side walls, a front wall, a rear wall, and a hollow interior base. Each of a pair of rollers, a drive roller, a tension roller, and a plurality of support rollers is disposed between the front wall and the rear wall within the hollow interior base. A conveyor belt is connected to the first pair of rollers, the drive roller, the tension roller and the support rollers. A motor assembly rotates the rollers. Each of a removable solid waste container, a second liquid waste reservoir, and a third water reservoir is disposed within the hollow interior base below the conveyor belt. A collection plate disposed within the hollow interior base collects waste, and a pair of spray nozzles is configured to rinse the conveyor belt.

A control module used in combination with an activation device for generating an activation signal in response to a stress exposure training event and an electrical impulse device for delivering an electrical shock to the user. The control module has a housing for being carried on the user. The module includes a controller function which sends a shock signal to the impulse device to shock the user according to prescribed shock criteria in response to an activation signal. The control module can be used with various activation devices including light-based force-on-force training or video shoot-back simulations. An operator input of the controller enables the prescribed shock criteria stored on the controller which is carried on the user to be adjusted by an operator directly at the module or remotely.

An apparatus for comforting and interacting with an animal. The apparatus include a communication module, an input module, an output module, and a processing unit. The communication module receives a user input from an external device and the input module receives an animal input from the animal. The output module consists of at least one selected from the group of a heat generator and a vibration generator. The processing unit receivers the user input from the communication module and receives the animal input from the input module. The processing unit further operates the output module based on at least one of the user input and the animal input and transmits a signal based on the animal input to the external device using the communication module.
