Abstract
A remote receiver unit is for use in an animal behavior modification system that applies an electrical shock to an animal. The remote receiver unit has an electrical shock device including two electrodes configured for contacting the animal, a source of alternating current voltager and an electrical transformer with a primary coil and a secondary coil. The primary coil is electrically connected to the source of alternating current voltage. The secondary coil is electrically connected to at least one of the two electrodes. The transformer has an output impedance of less than 1000 ohms. A receiver circuit is electrically connected to the shock device. The receiver circuit is configured for activating the shock device in response to a received signal.
