  • Publication number: 20190174721
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring and reporting to a system user, operational information pertaining to a base station and one or more collar modules of an animal control and activity level and behavior information pertaining to one or more monitored pets. Information regarding the base station and the one or more collar modules is communicated to the system user via a communications portal and a web application executing on a web server. System users interface with the web application via a computer network, e.g. the Internet, and may access information from a location remote from the animal control system through the web application. System users may also modify the operation of the base station, collar modules and/or communications portal by issuing commands to such devices through the web application. The web application also issues alerts and/or notifications to one or more system users.
