Abstract

An electrostatic pet training device including a collar, a leash, and a holding unit is provided. A discharge member at the holding unit capable of discharging high voltage low current is connected to a plurality of electrodes by a plurality of wires embedded in the leash connecting the collar and the holding unit. The plurality of electrodes formed at the inner surface of the collar is capable of generate high voltage low current electrostatic shock at the pets'"'"' neck. Masters can therefore restrain pets from performing inappropriate behaviors by triggering the discharge member at the holding unit. After long term usage, pets will develop good habits.

Claims

1. A pet training device comprises:

a collar;

a leash connected to one end of the collar;

a holding unit coupled with a triggering switch connected to another end of the collar; and

a discharge member capable of discharging high voltage low current provided at the holding unit.

2. The pet training device as claimed in claim 1 further comprises a plurality of electrodes provided at the inner surface of the collar, wherein the electrodes are connected to the discharge member.

3. The pet training device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the discharge member is connected to the plurality of electrodes by a plurality of wires.

4. The pet training device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the plurality of wires are embedded in the leash.

5. The pet training device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the discharge member is made of piezoelectric ceramic materials.

6. The pet training device as claimed in claim 5, wherein the holding unit is a grabbing ring structure.

7. The pet training device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the triggering switch further comprises a handle, a trigger, and a reset mechanism.

8. The pet training device as claimed in claim 7, wherein the handle is at the inner surface of the grabbing ring having sliding mechanism;

9. The pet training device as claimed in claim 8, wherein the sectional view of the handle is similar to a U-shape;

a plurality of sliding guide blocks are provided at two sides of the handle corresponding to a plurality of sliding grooves provided at the holding unit.

10. The pet training device as claimed in claim 9, wherein the trigger is a push block corresponding to a pressure block of the piezoelectric ceramic member;

and the reset mechanism is formed by a plurality of guiding poles wrapped with springs corresponding to a plurality of concaves at the holding unit.

11. The pet training device as claimed in claim 10, wherein a curving surface conforming to fingers is formed at the turning portion of the U-shape handle.

12. The pet training device as claimed in claim 10, wherein the handle is a button provided at a spot where the button can be pressed easily by a thumb while grabbing the holding unit;

the trigger is at the bottom of the button; and

the reset mechanism is a spring provided between the button and the holding unit.

13. The pet training device as claimed in claim 5, wherein the holding unit is a grabbing ring structure with a curing surface for comfortable hold;

and the trigger is at the outer surface of the holding unit and the fore end of the grabbing ring.

14. The pet training device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plurality of electrodes are arranged at the inner surface of the collar at a spot corresponding to the connection of the collar and the leash.

15. The pet training device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connection between the collar and the leash is detachable.

16. The pet training device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the leash can be contracted and curled onto a rotating wheel inside the hold unit;

and a plurality of wires are connected to the plurality of electrodes through the rotating wheel.
