2. Description of Prior Art
A search of the prior art listing for the above mentioned sub class 905 breaking or training, reflected no similarities to any existing patents. The present invention relates generally to the housebreaking of domestic pets and more particularly to providing a method to train house pets by allowing them to activate the training device to provide an audible signal to call the attention of the owner or trainer to the need to let the pet outside.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to the housebreaking of pets and more particularly to a new device designed for the purpose of teaching the pet to actuate a training device to signal the need to be let outside. In the proper care of domestic pets, such as dogs and cats and other animals it is necessary to have a method to train the pet to become housebroken. Many such methods have been used throughout the years but most of them utilize a punishment technique that teaches by negative reinforcement. The pet is punished after having an accident in the house. The present invention allows the owner or trainer to use positive reinforcement and to provide a method that is easily learned and the training can be carried out by even the youngest of pet owners. The present invention will provide the trainer with a specific procedure to accomplish the needed training in the housebreaking process. The training device will also have a residual value after the training device has been used to accomplish the housebreaking in that it will be able to continue to be used as a signaling device to the trainer that the pet is requesting to be let outside. The training device will further provide an audible signal that can be heard from locations that your vision may be blocked from. The training device, when actuated by the pet by (item
10
) paddle/switch mounted to (item
7
) mast by (item
12
) hinge material will close a circuit through (item
8
) switch, and allow voltage from (item
9
) power supply to actuate the (item
11
) buzzer and give out an audible signal. All of these items will be mounted in (item
