Manually operated animal training device

Abstract

A manually operated animal training device that can be combined with proven and traditional training methods includes means for providing a fluid spray to deter unwanted animal behavior.

1 . An animal training device comprising: 
 at least one hollow tube member having a first open end and a second open end;    a hollow bulb member capable of storing a reservoir of fluid attached to the first open end of the hollow tube member; and    a nozzle member attached to the second open end of the hollow tube member capable of emitting a spray of the fluid when pressure is applied to the hollow bulb member.    
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the hollow tube member comprises a flexible hollow tube member.  
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the nozzle member includes an outlet for emitting the fluid spray which is adjacent to and in continuous alignment with the second open end of the hollow tube member.  
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the nozzle member includes an outlet for emitting the fluid spray which is perpendicular to the second open end of the hollow tube member.  
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the hollow bulb member comprises a flexible polymer.  
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1  further comprising a plurality of hollow tubes each extending perpendicularly from and in continuous internal communication with the hollow tube member.  
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 6  further comprising a plurality of nozzle members each connected to an open end of a hollow tube.  
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 6  wherein the hollow tube member comprises a plurality of hollow tube members and the hollow tube members are connected to the hollow tubes.  
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 8  further comprising a plurality of nozzle members each connected to an open end of a hollow tube.  
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 8  wherein the hollow tube members are connected to the hollow tubes with “T” connectors.  
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 10  further comprising a plurality of nozzle members each connected to an open end of a hollow tube.  
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 11  wherein each of said nozzle members includes an outlet for fluid spray positioned on an exterior side surface of the nozzle member.  
     
     
         13 . the device of  claim 12  wherein the nozzle members are rotatable about the ends of the hollow tubes.
