Abstract: The present invention provides a pet training device capable of conveying specific nonverbal commands from the user to the animal in an efficient manner. In one embodiment, the pet training device of the present invention utilizes a rigid, elongated member having a portion for grasping by the user. The elongated member may be attached to any conventional animal collar or chain via a snap, hook, clip, or other suitable attachment mechanism. Further, the portion for grasping by the user may contain an eyebolt or other suitable attachment device that may be used for attachment to the user's belt or other stable object. The rigid construction of the pet training device of the present invention allows the user to clearly nonverbally convey his or her intentions to the animal by moving the elongated member attached to the animal's collar or chain, allowing for efficient and effective animal training.
