摘要:
Systems, kits, and methods for training animals. The system can include an animal training enclosure, an animal harness assembly, and a system controller assembly. The animal training enclosure can include a housing in which the animal to be trained is positioned, a stimuli delivery assembly that presents stimuli and distracters to the animal, and a primary reinforcement apparatus. The animal harness assembly can include a harness mounted on the animal, the harness housing a vibrotactile apparatus that can be used as a secondary reinforcement apparatus, an electronic compass that can measure orientation of the animal, and a wireless interface for communicating with the system controller assembly. The methods can include a method of training an animal using a secondary reinforcement positioned on a harness mounted on the animal, a method of concurrently training a plurality of animals, a method of detecting an unexploded landmine, and a method of demining a minefield.
