  • Patent number: 9603340
    Abstract: A dog training collar provides aversion training without requiring the use of a conventional pinch collar structure. The dog training collar has a series of spikes mounted on the inner side of the collar diametrically opposite the position of the buckle of the collar when mounted on a canine. The spikes are formed as truncated cones of plastic that have a rounded apex so as not to injure the canine during utilization. The spikes can be formed as pairs mounted on a base that is positioned on the interior of the collar with the spikes projecting through openings on the inner side of the collar. The rounded apex on the cones allows the collar to be worn comfortably until the leash is pulled to engage the spikes into the neck of the canine being trained. The exterior of the collar has the look of a standard flat buckle dog collar.
