Abstract: An animal training and behavior altering device and method is used to teach and train dogs, cats and most other animals from unwanted behaviors such as continuous barking, jumping up, stealing, pet to pet confrontations, unwanted use of furniture and other bad habits and behaviors. The device and method combines sound and smell to trigger senses of the animal in a manner that establishes and reinforces negative feedback. In particular, discharge of a propellant through a specially designed nozzle on a canister creates a loud hissing sound combined with a citrus scent that most animals strongly dislike, whereby the behavior of the animal is corrected.

Abstract: A diaper has a pocket on the inside back panel for placement of the installer's hand, creating a controlled mitten effect, that allows the installer to easily slide the diaper underneath a baby's bottom and into an optimal position for installation, while the installer simultaneously holds the baby's legs with the other hand to lift the baby's bottom above the changing table surface. The pocket provides a barrier between the baby and the installer's hand to protect the baby's skin from the installer's fingernails, rings, or rough hands. The pocket further serves as a means for securing a soiled diaper, which can be rolled up and folded into the pocket, allowing for easy disposal of the soiled diaper.

Abstract: A horn device has a trumpet fixture with one or more internal lights. In one embodiment, the trumpet removably attaches to the valve portion of a canister containing a charge of pressurized gas or air. An actuator button on the top of the trumpet fixture is operable to open the valve assembly of the canister and release the pressurized gas or air through an interior passage of the trumpet fixture, causing a transparent or translucent diaphragm to vibrate, thereby producing a loud horn noise that is directed out of the open bell end of the trumpet. One or more light producing elements, such as electric lamps or LED's, a battery power source and an actuator switch device are housed within a rear chamber of the trumpet fixture. A button on the rear of the trumpet is pushed to control actuation of the light producing elements according to several modes of operation, including flash sequence and steady illumination. The produced light is directed forwardly, out of the open end of the trumpet.
