Abstract
An electrode device is provided for use with an electric shock generator carried on the collar of an animal. The electric shock generator produces an electric shock for output to the animal under predetermined conditions to control the movement of the animal. The electrode device includes a snap-on electrically insulative electrode casing which is removably mountable on the animal collar remote from the shock generator. The electrode casing mounts on the animal collar in a manner which permits the electrode casing to freely glide along the animal collar. An electrode is supported on the electrode casing in position to engage the animal in order to transmit the electrical shock produced by the electric shock generator to the animal under the predetermined conditions. A flexible electrical connector electrically connects the shock generator with the electrode. The flexible connector has a flexible wireless conductive path on a flexible insulator. The flexible connector has sufficient length and flexibility to permit movement of the connector without breaking the conductive path during movement of the animal.
