Dog behavior monitoring and training apparatus
An apparatus and method for behavior monitoring and training for an animal, comprising a remote unit with a microprocessor, motion sensors, global position system receivers, stimulators, and batteries. The remote unit microprocessor receives monitoring and training instructions from a host unit and signals from the motion sensors and global position system receivers. The remote unit, when placed on an animal, produces training stimuli, including sound and/or electric shock, in response to digging and jumping. When a microphone and global position system receiver are also employed in the remote unit, the remote unit can also produce training stimuli in response to barking and leaving a confined area.
