example 1

[0033] Example 1: "Contain" command training. "Contain" is the command used in animal training. It is an integral part of most training regimes. This command starts a training session and terminates a training session, and it is also part of almost every command sequence.

[0034] Containment orders are both corrective and protective. The animal must respond to this command in order to stop actions that are not desired or that may even injure the animal. An old adage among dog trainers is "a well-trained dog will stop in mid-air when the command to curb is given."

[0035] In some cases, using negative stimuli to train animals to hold back commands can harm the animals. The animal does not yet know the desired action, and applying negative stimuli when the animal is not sure what to do can break the animal's mind so that the animal is no longer trainable. This pain and fear can even make an animal unhealthy, even just a pet pony.

[0036] When an animal is trained to restr...

example 2

[0038] Example 2: puppy training. When training a puppy, it is routine to place the puppy on a bench and attach it to a stand. After obedience on the bench, the same command must also be taught on the ground and subsequently reinforced around the bird or game. Needing to repeat taught commands wastes time and puts a lot of stress on the puppy. This stress can be severe enough to have a detrimental effect on the puppy's mind and may even render the puppy unsuitable as a pet.

[0039] When training an animal according to the method of the present invention, the puppy can be taught immediately on the ground. Puppies don't have to be restrained by strings to begin with. Puppies can be led with more freedom and less physical restraint to work with their owners or trainers. The puppy's spirit will remain positive and the puppy will not become as shy with people as severe training can cause.

example 3

[0040] Example 3: Herd or chase instinct in dogs. Many dogs have an instinctive desire to herd or chase. Chasing other animals or vehicles is undesirable and often dangerous. Traditionally, drastic measures were taken to control this instinctive behavior. This includes using an electric collar or spraying ammonia into the dog's face to stop the chasing vehicle. Dogs can now be safely stopped and painlessly trained to change herd or chase instincts using the animal training methods of the present invention.

Abstract

A humane, pain-free method of animal training includes interrupting the animal's vision to deliver a training stimulus. A lens having an electro-optic shutter is placed within the animal's field of vision. The shutter is open and does not obstruct or interrupt the animal's vision while the animal exhibits desirable behavior. The shutter is closed and interrupts the animal's vision to deliver a training stimulus as needed. The closed shutter is re-opened to remove the training stimulus and continue training.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a method of animal training and a device for carrying out the method. Background of the invention [0002] Today, there are many animal training methods in use. Conventional training methods use some form of uncomfortable or negative stimuli, such as loud or uncomfortable sounds, to train animals. Using negative stimuli alone is not very effective and it is often accompanied by painful stimuli such as training reinforcement. Common forms of painful stimuli include vibrations, electric shocks, or even suffocating the animal. These stimuli rely on pain and fear to teach the animal the desired movement. Such painful stimuli can panic, break the animal's morale and are unsuitable for many areas of training. In the absence of experience, this kind of training can even inspire wildness in animals. [0003] Therefore, there is a need to replace conventional animal training methods with improved, more humane training me...
