Abstract
A fully self-contained location training apparatus monitors the location of an animate being, for exemplary purposes such as a dog, and selectively provides location-dependent stimulation. A communications link is provided between the location training apparatus and a mobile training aid. The mobile training aid is provided with a trigger that, when triggered by an operator, in turn causes the location training apparatus to deliver consistent and predictable training stimuli isolated from direct communication or expression by a human operator. The trigger may comprise a button or voice activation. The stimuli may be constant, or may ramp up over time. The mobile training aid is configured to emulate stimuli provided to the animate being, and will preferably display a map and representation of location of the animate being, together with enablement or display of the trigger button when appropriate.
