DE102007014234A1 - Animal trainer has feed dispenser fastened on collar of animal and feed is released from feed dispenser only after radio command when animal reaches working area of position detection system - Google Patents

Abstract

The animal trainer has a feed dispenser fastened on the collar of the animal. A feed is released from the feed dispenser only after radio command when the animal reaches in the working area of a position detection system within a predetermined time. Two elements (E1,E2) positioned at a distance detect, if the animal, particularly dog has covered back the intermediate distance quickly, to release a feed.

Description

Treats dispenser L for portion delivery of treats, which are attached to the collar H or harness of an animal, preferably a dog, are from the DE 10 2005 021 878.4 known. 1

different internal or external auto switches can cause the electrically operated output mechanism AM a treat the treat donor L flings in front of the legs of the dog.

It shall be described here an interaction of systems that Can cause an animal to run back and forth quickly.

This could be a training effect for animals, otherwise bored alone in the house or in the garden.

Two elements are placed at a suitable distance from each other. 2

comes the animal into the sphere of action of the motion detector B of the element E1, the transmitter S of element 1 sends a signal via Radio or cable to receiver E of element E2.

Thereby the motion detector of element E2 is turned on and the lock signal transmitter LS of element E2 continuously sends lock signals (eg tones or light signals) that attract the animal.

With In time, the animal will realize that it pays off relatively quickly to run to Element E2, because then always a treat from his wrapped treats L is ejected.

Around To realize this, element E2 includes a receiver E for the signal of element 1, as well as a timer Z, which determines how long the time is in the lock signals be separated from the lock signal transmitter LS and in the motion detector B is activated in element E2.

comes the animal within this time in the sphere of action of the motion detector B of element E2, so sends its transmitter S again a radio signal to the treat dispenser attached to the collar of the dog. This causes the issue of a treat there.

By a temporary shutdown and restart of the motion detector In element E1 the game can be played again and again to be started.

element Of course, E1 and E2 can be the same be constructed and then all the described modules so that they are electronically controlled reciprocally their function can change.

Of the The dog must therefore be in a time set by the timer from E1 to E2, or from E2 to E1 race to the treats to get his umhäntenender donor. The time interval in the treats can be recalled by previous Adjustment to be set by the pet owner; or will over a random generator in each device directly, or through an external random generator over Radio or cable controlled.

A another very advantageous arrangement would look like this that there are three elements (E1, E2, E3) in different places of the Room, and that each controlled by a timer Z1 after certain times (eg at intervals of A 10, B 15, C 20 Minutes) begins by the lock signal transmitter LS lock signals to send and at the same time it starts to activate its motion detector B.

The Time intervals, how long for each element in turn lock signals be sent and the motion detector is activated, would be again by a respective second timer Z2 in each dispenser adjustable in advance by the dog owner (eg A 1 min, B 10 sec, C 30 sec).

Reached the dog sends the item as long as its lock signals and thus the motion detector B is still active, so this causes Element duch its transmitter S that transmits a radio signal to the treat dispenser is, so then through the output mechanism AM a treat is ejected.

On that way, it would never be predictable for the dog, where the next treat is spent, so that he himself can not position accordingly. He will then again and again from an element through the separate sound or visual signals and reaches this element depending on the set time interval and removal in time, or not in time. This encourages him to run rather fast because he realizes that by doing so His chances of success soar that a treat from his donor falls.

The Control of both timers in each dispenser could also get fed by a random generator. Either that yourself in each donor such a random generator is located, or that one controls all timers via radio.

When Position detection systems would be primarily motion detectors and photoelectric sensors conceivable.

But it can for the constructions all known technical modules are used.

Z. B. Video surveillance systems, surveillance camera systems, Alarm foot mats, differential alarm loops, time relay with Magnetic contacts, chip cards, RF transponders, magnetic cards, heat sensors, Vibration detector, foils with sensors, ultrasonic echo distance warning, Laser photoelectric sensors, additional timer with random program, various radio systems and wireless transmission systems with different range and frequency, wired systems with and without socket outlet, etc.

Thereby that the animal carries the treat dispenser with him only one donor needed and not three if in each Element a separate donor would be integrated.

The individual elements can communicate with each other by radio or Cables connected, the drive is done via batteries or socket.

Claims (5)

Animal trainer with a lollipop attached to the collar of the animal, characterized in that a treats is released from the treat dispenser only after radio command, when the animal has come within a predetermined time in the sphere of action of a Positionerfassungssytems. Animal trainer according to claim 1, characterized that two elements placed at a distance capture each other in interaction, if the dog has covered the intermediate distance fast enough has, and then spend a treat. Animal trainer according to one or more of the preceding Claims, characterized in that several of each other independent elements in predefined different ones Time intervals for predetermined different ones Time intervals allow a treat issue from the treats, if the animal is in one of these time intervals, in the respective Wirkungsberreich the position detection system is located. Animal trainer according to one or more of the preceding Claims, characterized in that several of each other independent elements at different time intervals Release treats for different time intervals can and that these time intervals and time intervals be controlled by one or more random number generators. Animal trainer according to one or more of the preceding Claims, characterized in that the lock signal transmitter the elements can emit acoustic signals (sounds, recorded language of the owner, other attracting sounds etc.), or visual signals (light, colors, showing by for the animal attractive motives etc.), which are suitable to attract the animal.
