1. A combined animal confinement and remote training system, comprising:
- a confinement wire oriented to define a boundary;
a confinement transmitter associated with the confinement wire so that the confinement wire emits a transmitter signal from the confinement transmitter;
a confinement receiver fitted to the animal and tuned to receive the transmitter signal from the confinement transmitter;
a remote transmitter actuable to transmit a remote correction signal;
a remote receiver fitted to the animal and tuned to receive the remote signal from the remote transmitter;
a stimulator fitted to the animal; and
a processor associated with the stimulator and the confinement and remote receivers, the processor decoding both the remote correction signal and the transmitter signal from the confinement transmitter and activating the stimulator to administer a stimulation signal to the animal upon decoding one of the remote correction signal and the transmitter signal from the confinement transmitter.

Abstract
A combination animal confinement and remote training system is disclosed. The system is selectable between a confinement mode that encourages an animal to remain within a predefined boundary area, a remote training mode that encourages the animal to engage in desirable activity or cease undesirable activity, and a combined remote training and confinement mode.

18. A combined animal confinement and remote training system, comprising:
-
means for transmitting a confinement signal to define a containment boundary; means for receiving the confinement signal; remote means for transmitting a correction signal; means for receiving the correction signal from the remote means; and means associated with the confinement signal receiving means and the remote signal receiving means for decoding one of the confinement signal and the correction signal and administering a stimulus to an animal. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A combined animal confinement and remote training system, comprising:
-
a confinement transmitter that transmits an electromagnetic confinement signal of a predetermined frequency to define a containment boundary; a containment receiver tuned to receive the confinement signal; a remote transmitter for transmitting a correction signal of a predetermined frequency; a remote receiver tuned to receive the correction signal; a decoder associated with the containment receiver and remote receiver that decodes one of the confinement signal and the correction signal; and a stimulator associated with the decoder that administers a stimulus to an animal in response to one of a decoded confinement signal and a decoded correction signal. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A method of operating a processor of an animal confinement and remote training system, the method comprising the steps of:
-
decoding a correction signal from a remote transmitter of the system, the remote transmitter transmitting a correction signal of a predetermined frequency, when both the signal from the remote transmitter and a confinement signal from a confinement transmitter of the system are present, the confinement transmitter transmitting a confinement signal of a predetermined frequency to define a containment boundary; decoding one of the correction signal from the remote transmitter and the confinement signal when only one of these signals is present; and enabling a stimulator of the system to administer a corrective stimulus to the animal based upon either a decoded correction signal or a decoded confinement signal. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31)
