Animal Training Device Having a Programmable Stimulus Delivery Switch
First Claim
1. An animal training device adapted to activate a stimulus delivery device that is adapted to be carried by an animal, said animal training device comprising:
- a display adapted to present a series of menus having menu options, the menu options corresponding to a parameter of a customized stimulus;
a menu navigation control operable by a user, said menu navigation control enabling the user to navigate the series of menus and to select the menu options, the selected menu options defining the parameter of the customized stimulus;
a transmitter adapted to transmit a stimulus request signal, the stimulus request signal including information indicative of the defined parameter of the customized stimulus, the stimulus delivery device being adapted to receive the stimulus request signal and to deliver the customized stimulus to the animal; and
a stimulus delivery switch operable by the user and associated with the customized stimulus, said transmitter transmitting the stimulus request signal in response to the operation of said stimulus delivery switch.

Abstract
Described is an animal training device having a menu-driven user interface, a programmable stimulus delivery switch, and the capability to activate a stimulus delivery device such that it delivers a customized stimulus to an animal. More specifically, the menu-driven user interface enables a user to define the programmable parameters of a customized stimulus and to associate the customized stimulus with the stimulus delivery switch such that when the stimulus delivery switch is operated, the animal training device transmits a stimulus request signal, which includes information indicative of the defined parameters. The stimulus delivery device is responsive to the stimulus request signal to the extent that when the stimulus delivery device receives the stimulus request signal, it determines the defined parameters and delivers the customized stimulus to the animal.
