Abstract
An animal collar arrangement is provided having an electric shock generator carried on the collar of an animal for producing an electrical shock to the animal under predetermined conditions to control the movement of the animal. The electric shock generator includes a pair of electrodes which are removably insertable into respective receptacle openings on the electric shock generator. The collar for the animal carries the electric shock generator so that the electrodes are positioned to engage the animal. The collar has a pair of holes which are aligned with the receptacle openings in the shock generator. A relatively thin back strip member includes a flexible grommet support strip which holds a pair of grommets in proper position to respectively align with the pair of holes in the collar. The grommet support strip properly positions and holds the grommets within the respective collar holes. The grommets are positioned on the grommet support strip to respectively align with the receptacle openings in the electric shock generator to permit the electrodes to be respectively inserted through the grommets and into the respective receptacle openings. Insertion of the electrodes into the shock generator mounts the electric shock generator on the collar. The grommets are held in respective position within the collar holes by the back strip member to reinforce the collar holes and to insulate the respective electrodes from the collar.
