| 20110120387 | ANIMAL GUIDE - An animal guide device, such as a leash assembly, includes a body part that can be placed on the body of the animal, for example a collar, a harness or a head piece, and a leash that can be attached to the body part. The pulling force exerted by the animal is determined by way of an in-line force measuring device. To limit the amount of pulling force exerted on the person leading the animal a signal generator or a tone generator is activated when a given pulling force is exceeded. The generator(s) can generate sound waves that are either only detected by the animal or are detected by the animal and by the person leading the animal. Alternatively, a spraying device can be activated through the signal generator. The animal guide device according to the invention is designed specifically for domestic animals, preferably for dogs. | 05-26-2011 |
