Definitions

  • Dogs can be trained and occupied in the presence of the owner, but also without the presence of the owner. If the person is not present, the desired behavior can be controlled by means of mechanical and electromotive devices and rewarded by a treat donor, which also belongs to the device.
  • the device can be switched on throughout the day, or it is controlled by a timer temporarily switched off. If the device is activated, sensors and other measuring instruments determine whether the animal is behaving correctly, supported by additional time switches, so that the time factor can also play a decisive role.
  • the animal is brought to activity or desired behavior by its natural instinct, and by the experience that there is always or at least occasionally a treat to reward for the behavior.
  • the treat donor is preferably on the animal, but may also be in the environment from case to case.
  • the ejection device AE can be designed, for example, as an already known ejector for tennis or table tennis balls. There are also known children's toys, with which objects, such as balls can be thrown off, for example by an exiting bolt Bo. It would be best if they were mounted pivotally, so that the objects can be thrown in different directions. Similarly, the force with which the object is ejected should be variable.
  • Another parameter would be the time interval with which objects are always ejected, which can be controlled by means of a timer.
  • An additional timer could set at what times during the absence of the dog owner, the ejector AE works at all.
  • the determination of the ejection direction, the ejection strength and the time intervals can be set manually by the dog owner, or is controlled by a random number generator.
  • the owner can e.g. Briefly test together with the dog an ejection direction and ejection strength of the ball and then adjust the time available so that the dog can bring the ball back at a reasonable pace.
  • the mentioned parameters also to be determined variably according to the random principle (random generator) by means of electric motors and controllers.
  • E electronics, control, motors, timers, circuits.

  • it will not be accepted, but will be removed (e.g., by a switch over the side opening O), or it may pass, but will not cause treats. Or else the whole process is stopped as a precaution.
  • Each return of an item can be rewarded with a treat. But it is also possible that only a certain time interval remains time. This time interval can be set by means of a timer by the dog owner, or is determined again and again by means of a random generator.
  • the independent retrieving device can additionally have a sound generator T or a light source Li which emit signals as long as a treats is given by timely return of the object. If the object is brought back later, there will be no treats. Or timely returns will be rewarded with a larger amount of treats, while there is only a small treat for late return. That is, it is also a staggered treats possible by the system registers (eg timing with accurate timing) that a task was done particularly well or quickly. Then, for example, the issue of two or more portions caused, or it is, for example, a large chamber of the treat dispenser completely emptied.

  • Fig. 61 For example, a slide S first chamber 1 (K1) and chamber 2 (K2) close. In the first radio signal, the slider S moves controlled by an electromechanical EM so far to the side that chamber 1 can empty.
  • Fig. 62 At the next radio signal, the slider moves even more to the side, so that the second chamber empties.
  • each chamber has its own closure flap VK, whereby, depending on the radio signal, controlled by an electrical circuit, only one specific flap opens at a time.
  • Chambers each with its own flap so the owner can also decide that, for example. by sending a radio signal of a certain frequency instead of a small one
  • Chamber K1 should open a particularly large chamber K2, if the dog has done something very well. Fig. 65
  • the clip may also have a spring F as well as a snap-in element E, so that it is stretched when loading man, and only then
  • Such constructions have the advantage that the feed can be reloaded quickly.
  • a chamber for storage to the rear of an opening so that from there fast food can be nachgeschoben.
  • An additional option would be an additional built-in voice recorder V Fig. 69, which plays after performing the task in addition to the issued treats yet a pre-recorded praise of its owner.
  • the owner could decide by choosing different buttons (radio signals) on the remote control, whether only a treat is issued, or treats plus praise by the voice recorder, In addition, the voice recorder is activated.
  • a teddy bear doner attached to the animal instead of activating the treat dispenser via radio remote control, activation by means of a light emitter, e.g. a laser beam of a laser emitter La possible. If the animal then also has a sensor S which registers the light beam, it can forward the reception by means of an electric line to the treat dispenser, whereupon it ejects a treat. Fig. 70 Of course, it should be ensured that the light can not damage the eyes of the animal.
  • Another on-animal sensor could be integrated into the treats L or connected to this via radio or cable module of sound recognition MdT, which ensures a certain treats or certain spoken words a treats release.
  • a present person can give a treat without having to hold a remote control by calling certain words or e.g. clapping their hands or using a special dog whistle, and the speech / sound recognition tool recognizes these tones.
  • the tones can also be transmitted with a remote control.
  • the release of a treats release by radio includes all known command transmission systems. For example, a dog watching via webcam can easily find a treat from thousands of Kilometers away from the owner can be administered directly, if the transmitter and receiver are set up accordingly.
  • the treat donor has one or more chambers, each with its own closure, in each case after a suitable for each chamber own radio signal, the closure of a chamber is opened and thus the entire contents of this chamber is completely emptied.
  • the remote control F is operated by humans, and helps the dog always at the moment a treat can be administered if he does something right.
  • the dog registers when a treat falls out, just by the mechanical output noise. That means the remote control has a button that only drops a treat when it is pressed.
  • a second button in the remote operation could also bring via remote control a treat to eject, but at the same time activate a sound generator in the remote control, so that an additional sound is generated.
  • a third button could have the function of producing only a sound, but no radio signal to the treats dispenser so that no treats are ejected. However, this sound produced in this case would be clearly different from the sound produced when the second button is pressed. Thus, the sound generated by the third button could be used to perform the so-called clicker training.
  • the sounds produced in the remote control have the advantage that the dog rather associates the treat with the human, since the sound comes from the direction of man.
  • the sound generator (s) are not in the remote control but in the treat dispenser. This would have the advantage that the dog always hears the sounds equally well. Buttons 1, 2, and 3 in the remote control would then again decide if a sound is being produced and which, and if a treat is being ejected, but the sounder (s) would be in the treat dispenser.
  • buttons of the remote control can be used again and again depending on the training situation where the sound is generated, if a sound is generated at all whether a treat should fall out or not, whether the treat should fall out with or without additional sound, and where that sound is produced. Conceivable, in addition to the sound, other additional signals, such. Light signals, additional vibration of the treats, etc. It would also be conceivable that on activation of the remote control additional signaling devices in the remote control and activated simultaneously in the dispenser. This means that the dog owner would have many options to operate via remote control, depending on what the training situation requires. The remote control would open up all possibilities by the arrangement and the required number of operation buttons.
