Abstract
An animal training apparatus includes at least two vibration motors configured to generate the vibration stimulation and deliver the vibration stimulation to the animal, and a microprocessor comprising control logic programmed to control the at least two vibration motors to deliver the vibration stimulation to the animal when a preset condition is satisfied, wherein at least one of the vibration motors generates vibration stimulation with variable intensity, and the microprocessor controls the vibration motors to make a sum of vibration stimulation generated by the vibration motors equal a desired intensity of vibration stimulation that is determined based on the preset control logic or the satisfied condition. The animal training apparatus and system can substantially correct the animal's behavior using vibration stimulation varying in an adequate range as a main stimulation means by using the plurality of vibration motors, without using electrical stimulation.
