Problems solved by technology

However, while the tracking of animals and especially pets is already known, especially with GPS based technology, no systems meld a moving dynamic relationship between an owner's position and their pet's position, nor offer dynamic control of a pet to effect the pet's movement from one location to another.

Abstract

A system and method for remote guidance of a dog or other suitable animal to and from a selected location using GPS related triangulation methods. The system using a series of audible cues or electrical shocks to guide the dog from a current location to a target location by continually monitoring the current GPS location of the dog and establishing a waypoint target for the animal as it moves. The system issues cues such as audible signals to control the dog and keep it confined within a suitable corridor so that the next waypoint may be attained. Using the invention, a dog owner can control the movement of the dog as the owner moves in its proximity, thereby creating an invisible tether or “virtual leash” or to the animal.
