ABSTRACT:
The improved animal training device (10) has a handle (12) which comprises a handle top member, a handle bottom member and a handle middle member (12C) and at least one striking plate (14) having a outer striking plate (14A) circumferentially attached to the handle middle member (12C). The improved animal training device (10) functions as an animal behavioral modification device in accord with Pavlovian Conditioning whereas when an animal is performing an undesirable act, a user strikes the improved animal training device (10) on a hard surface such as an animal's head or an inanimate object, thus, producing a high pitched sound emanating from the striking plate (14) which is undesirable to the animal. The striking plate (14) has an optional middle striking plate (14B) circumferentially attached to the outer striking plate (14A). The middle striking plate (14B) has an optional inner striking plate (14C) circumferentially attached therein. The outer striking plate (14A) and the middle striking plate (14B) and the inner striking plate (14C) have varying thicknesses functioning to produce a desired pitch.
