A receiver (18) for an animal training system which includes a stimulation unit (60) for providing at least one stimulus having a quantity of energy pulses and a stimulus pulse width and a controller (56) connected to the stimulation unit. The controller receives at least one transmitted signal (14,16) and assigns amplitude information and rate information to at least one correction signal. The stimulation unit receives the at least one correction signal and outputs a corresponding stimulus having the quantity of energy pulses corresponding to the rate information. The stimulus has the stimulus pulse width corresponding to the amplitude information.
