Described is system to modify and prevent the destructive behavior of household animals. The system includes two units. One unit is attached to the animal and the second unit is used as a control unit. The animal behavior modification is applied according to the distance between the units and the animal behavior.

A collar for conditioning behavior in an animal and system and method for same are disclosed. The collar includes a main body configured to generate electric stimuli. A pair of conductive polymer multi-ridge electrodes extends outward in a concave configuration from base portion of main body at first end and second end of base portion such that electrodes and base portion form a unitary component. The pair of electrodes is configured to have inner and outer indentations integrally formed with base portion such that inner indentations are suitable for receiving smaller animals and outer indentations are suitable for receiving larger animals. A housing receives main body and is integrally formed with a pair of elongated planar members extending orthogonally from band portion of collar at first end and second end of housing such that collar is positioned around animal neck while inserted to main body for support.

A pet training system comprises one or more base stations and one or more wearable pet devices. 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.

The disclosure discloses a control device for a robot to tease a pet and a mobile robot. The primary sensor is configured to continuously collect a preset number of frames of pet motion images in each motion cycle. The state recognizer is configured to judge the matching between the pet motion images continuously collected by the primary sensor and a pre-stored digital image of pet behavior, and then parse a matching result into behavior state parameters of a pet. The behavior interferometer is configured to adjust and control a behavior state of the pet according to the behavior state parameters and an additional road sign image provided by the secondary sensor. The laser projector is configured to project a laser beam to form a structural light spot, so that the pet changes toward the behavior state adjusted by the behavior interferometer.

A method of using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to guide a target includes receiving sensor data from one or more sensors of the UAV, detecting a behavior or an action of the target based on the received sensor data, and initiating a feedback to the target in response to the detected behavior or action for guiding the target while the UAV is in flight. The feedback includes at least one of an audio stimulus, a visual stimulus, an olfactory stimulus, or an attractor.

A pet potty training system includes a collar alarm system and a potty training suit. The potty training suit includes a wet sensor attached to an inner surface of the potty training suit and connected to the collar alarm system via a wire. The collar alarm system is attached to the neck of the pet during potty training and beeps or vibrates when receiving a wet signal from the wet sensor. The potty training suit includes a fastening member for securing the wet sensor and the wire on the inner surface of the potty training suit. When a doggy diaper is used, the doggy diaper is attached to the potty training suit by the fastening member.

One variation of a method for acclimating a dog to autonomous training with a training apparatus, includes: accessing a video feed of a working field; dispensing a first set of treats into the working field at a first frequency and outputting an audible reinforcer at a first volume level; estimating a first acclimation score representative of acclimation to dispensation of the first set of treats; in response to the first acclimation score exceeding a threshold acclimation, dispensing a second set of treats at a second frequency less than the first frequency and outputting the audible reinforcer at a second volume greater than the first volume; estimating a second acclimation score responsive to the second set of treats; in response to the second acclimation score exceeding the threshold acclimation, the second frequency falling below a threshold frequency, and the second volume exceeding a threshold volume, verifying acclimation of the dog.

The utility model discloses a dual-purpose dog training device including a remote controller and a receiver. The remote controller is provided with a function switching key. A main control board is connected to at least one of a vibration motor or an ultrasonic generator or an electric shock electrode. The main control board is provided with a dog training control unit and a bark stopping control unit, respectively. The dog training control unit or the bark stopping control unit is separately connected to the vibration motor or the ultrasonic generator or the electric shock electrode, respectively. The main control board receives an instruction of the function switching key to switch a control unit for controlling the vibration motor or the ultrasonic generator or the electric shock electrode between the dog training control unit and the bark stopping control unit, so as to switch an operating mode of the receiver between a dog training mode and a bark stopping mode. The dual-purpose dog training device provided by the utility model may be used as both a dog training device and a bark stopping device. By pressing the function switching key, the receiver may be switched between two function modes of the dog training device and the bark stopping device.

An autonomous biometric wearable system, animal monitoring system, animal monitoring system for companion animals and methods of use are presented. The biometric wearable for pets and animals includes a plurality of sensors and stimulators. The biometric wearable provides for detecting and notifying when stress and/or other anxiety-like symptoms are detected. The system then also provides for stimulation which may help in calming the animal or pet.

A soft foam ball may be attached to a tether which is in turn attached to a handle having a motor. A switch activates the motor which provides a rotary output to swing the ball in a circle. An animal trainer may hold the handle and allow the ball to swing in an arc or circle in front of the animal trainer. If the dog ventures in front of the animal trainer, the ball gently strikes the dog, reminding the dog of the proper heel position. The ball can be swung in either direction to allow a dog to heel on either side of the animal trainer.
