摘要:
590687 Disclosed is a control device (22) for controlling the location of an animal. The control device (22) includes a GPS receiver (20) for receiving GPS signals, and a processor (24) communicatively coupled to the GPS receiver (20) which continuously determines the position, velocity and heading direction of the animal relative to a target. A stimulus unit (34) applies selective stimuli to the animal in response to signals received from the processor (24). The processor (24) is programmable such that if the position, velocity and the heading direction of the animal are within predetermined values relative to the target, then a signal indicative of applying a non-aversive stimulus to the animal is generated. The processor (24) is selectively programmable such that when the velocity of the animal relative to the target is outside of the predetermined range or the heading direction of the animal changes by more than a predetermined amount a signal indicative of removal of the non-aversive stimulus is generated. Otherwise, a signal is generated indicative of first removing the non-aversive stimulus followed by application of an aversive stimulus to the animal.
