Abstract
An electroshock apparatus mounted on a strap placed around a portion of an animal's body includes first and second electrodes each extending through the strap from remotely controlled electroshock circuitry supported by the strap, and inserted through insulators surrounding shanks of the electrodes. The tips of the electrodes extend sufficiently far beyond the ends of the respective insulators to 1) ensure consistent electrical contact of the first and second electrodes with the animal's skin without overtightening the strap, and 2) avoid substantial shunting of electrical stimulus current between the first and second electrodes through wet fur.
