Disclosed is a mounting base () for attaching a portable electronic device () to a collar apparatus (). Mounting base () includes a frame () and a latch (). Latch () is moveable between a latched position and an unlatched position. Latch () includes an actuator () with a button () that may be depressed by a user to manually move latch () between the latched and unlatched positions. A portable electronic device () includes an insertion portion () that is received in a receiving aperture () in the frame (). Once the insertion portion () is inserted, the device () may be rotated manually to engage latch (). During rotation, a lock stub () on latch () engages a corresponding feature on insertion portion (), thereby preventing counter-rotation of device (). Additionally, one or more tabs () on frame () interfere with corresponding structure on insertion portion () to secure device () onto mounting base ().

An accessory assembly for coupling a unit to an animal band, having a support frame that includes a locking gap positioned on one end of the support frame, a latch protrusion positioned on the other end of the support frame, a proximally positioned receiving aperture, and a plurality of strap retention structures configured for coupling to at least one strap, the straps configured for coupling to an animal band. The accessory assembly further has a coupling latch having an actuator positioned on one end of the coupling latch and a locking mechanism positioned on the other end of the coupling latch opposite the actuator where the coupling latch is configured to be coupled to the support frame by placing the locking mechanism within the locking gap and positioning the actuator around the latch protrusion, and where the coupling latch is further configured to laterally move the locking mechanism.
