Abstract

A method of training an animal includes generating an electrical correction stimulus having a duration that extends between a first time and a second later time, and having a first magnitude at the first time and a second greater magnitude at the second time. The electrical correction stimulus includes a substantially continuous waveform. The electrical correction stimulus is applied to an animal failing to conform to desired behavior. The electrical correction stimulus is removed from the animal upon conformance with the desired behavior by the animal.
