Abstract

A flexible electrode assembly for use with an electronic animal training device. The flexible electrode assembly provides pressure relief in the event that the collar is over-tightened. Pressure relief is obtained through the use of resilient materials or mechanical pre-loads that allow movement in response to applied pressure. Because the position of the electrodes in the flexible electrode assembly is not fixed, pet owners are generally more likely to properly tighten the collar thereby allowing the animal training device to function effectively.
