  • Publication number: 20030136345
    Abstract: An animal treat dispensing and training device formed of a resilient material and defining a closed end and an elliptically shaped, slightly convex, dispensing end having an arcuate slot extending about the lower periphery thereof such that upon squeezing the dispenser adjacent its dispensing end, the slot is caused to open allowing one or more treats to be readily dispensed therefrom. Upon releasing the pressure on the dispenser, it returns to its prior disposition, closing and sealing the slot to again secure the remaining treats within the dispenser. A bell is attached to the device for attracting the attention of the animal to be trained whereby the user can shake the dispenser to alert the animal to a command and dispense the treat with the simple squeezing motion of the same hand to effect patterned response learning.
