A canine training device, remotely operated via a smartphone application, delivers electrical stimulation to a dog. Functionality typically includes adjusting the intensity of the stimulus and often incorporates features such as GPS tracking and virtual fence settings, all managed through the mobile application. For instance, an owner might use a mobile app to set a boundary, and if the dog crosses it, the device delivers a pre-set level of stimulation.
The primary purpose of such technology is to facilitate remote training and behavior modification. Proponents assert that it provides a consistent and immediate correction mechanism, potentially leading to quicker and more effective training outcomes. Early iterations of remote training collars utilized handheld transmitters; the integration of smartphone control represents an advancement in convenience and functionality, offering expanded features and data collection capabilities.
