Multi-mode pet training device
First Claim
1. A transmitter module for an animal behavior modification system, comprising:
- radio front end circuitry configured for transmitting wireless commands to a receiver of the animal behavior modification system;
circuitry configured for selecting a Rise mode of operation;
a jump button configured for activating a Jump mode of operation;
wherein the transmitter module is configured to;
gradually increase a stimulation level to one of a previously defined level or to a maximum level that is defined within permanent memory of the transmitter module as long as Rise mode remains selected;
increase a stimulation level to one of a previously specified first higher level when a jump button is depressed;
increase the stimulation level to a previously specified second higher level when the jump button is depressed a subsequent time; and
wherein the transmitter module is operable to change the stimulation level to a previously selected stimulation level after expiration of a finite period.

Abstract
The pet training device comprises a handheld wireless command module, a wireless receiver module connected to an adjustable collar assembly. The wireless command module is used to select a stimulation mode, stimulation duration, a Jump mode, a Rise mode, and a stimulation intensity level through the used of one-touch digital switches located on the device front panel. The selected functions are displayed on an LCD. The stimulation commands are transmitted to the wireless receiver module where they are demodulated into control signals that trigger a shock, a beep, a vibration, or a combination thereof. When the wireless receiver is placed in the no-bark mode, the wireless receiver module will generate a shock when triggered by a bark sensor. A Jump mode is provided to instantly increase stimulation from a currently defined level. A Rise mode is provided to gradually and continuously increase the stimulation level.

6. A transmitter module for an animal behavior modification system, comprising:
-
a stimulation switch; a Rise mode button; a Jump mode button; radio front end circuitry for transmitting wireless commands to a receiver of the animal behavior modification system; and circuitry for determining a stimulation level and for transmitting a determined stimulation level to a receiver of the animal modification system; wherein the transmitter module is configured to operate in a normal mode wherein a user selected intensity stimulation level is commanded while the stimulation switch remains depressed, and operates in a Rise mode wherein stimulation levels are changed in a substantially continuous mode when the Rise mode button is depressed, and to operates in a Jump mode wherein stimulation levels are changed in by notable discrete levels when the Jump mode button is depressed. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
