Abstract
A pet training system incorporating a transmitter and a pet collar. The transmitter includes a radio-frequency signal generator, with a power supply, for generating a low amplitude RF signal; the RF signal is applied to a radiation antenna, through appropriate connectors, so that the transmitter radiates an RF field in or around a designated area the pet is intended to avoid. The pet collar includes a receiving antenna and a shock device or other deterrent device actuated when the pet, wearing the collar, approaches the designated area. The radiation antenna includes at least three and preferably as many as eight or more series connected conductors so that the RF field extends an appreciable distance from the radiation antenna.
