Described is a vibration stimulus delivery device for delivering a vibrationstimulus to an animal and for maximizing the robustness and intensity of the vibrationstimulus. The vibration stimulus delivery device is carried by the animal andincludes a housing and a vibration probe. The vibration probe is positioned indirect contact with the skin of the animal and generates a vibration, which, whendelivered to the animal, is the vibration stimulus. The vibration probe is coupledto the housing such that the coupling minimizes the inherent vibration dampeningeffect caused by the weight and mass of the housing. The result is a vibration stimulusdelivery device that delivers a more robust and intense vibration stimulus tothe animal.
