Abstract: An animal behavioral control apparatus includes a cartridge, a housing, a head, and an extension assembly. The cartridge contains pressurized gas. The housing surrounds a part or more of the cartridge. The head is connected to the housing and includes an actuator and a valve. The valve engages the cartridge when the actuator is actuated in order to release gas out of the cartridge. The extension assembly is connected to the head to receive gas from the head. Upon actuation of the head, gas flows through the extension assembly and the animal behavioral control apparatus ejects a blast of gas which can be directed at an animal.

Abstract: An animal behavioral control apparatus includes a cartridge, a housing, a head, and a horn. The cartridge contains pressurized gas. The housing surrounds at least a part of the cartridge. The head is connected to the housing and includes an actuator and a valve. The valve engages the cartridge when the actuator is actuated in order to release gas out of the cartridge. The horn is removably connected to the head. When the horn is not connected to the head, the animal behavioral control apparatus ejects a blast of gas when the actuator is actuated. And when the horn is connected to the head, the animal behavioral control apparatus emits a sound when the actuator is actuated.

Abstract: In a method of training a dog, a line is provided to connect a trainer with the dog to ensure a leading position of the trainer, a command is generated by the trainer in an assertive fashion and with a stern facial expression, and a frozen posture is created by the trainer to thereby produce in the dog an instinctive perception of a threat of an inevitable bite in case of disobedience. An acoustic bag can be used that emits a clearly distinguishable sound when thrown and thus surprises the dog and interrupts its unwanted behavior bringing it to a halt. Reinforcing commands is also provided by mimicking motions and postures used in a canine world to show dominance. A reward to consolidate progress in training and make it habitual is provided, the reward being presented by generating a high-pitch intonation message of gratitude and by a treat.
