Low impact baton for tapotement and discipline training

Abstract

A hand held pliant flexible baton, for use as a tapotement device, having an external shell fabricated from a pliant material which covers an internal core fabricated from a soft batting material. The flexible baton's external shell provides a low impact force when struck against tissue such that no damage is inflicted to tissue, but a stinging sensation can be felt. The baton can accomplish several functions, such as use as a tapotement device for massage therapy, use as a training device for domestic animals such as dogs, or use as a safe disciplinary device for children in lieu of spanking.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A low impact tapotement device, comprising: 
 a hand held pliant flexible baton, further comprising: 
 an external shell fabricated from a pliant material; and
