| 20090056640 | Animal Training Device - The invention relates to an animal exercise device, which is designed to challenge the natural instincts of animals, in particular dogs and cats, when hunting for food or toys. According to the invention, the food and toys are displayed and then disappear before the animal has caught them. The animal finally receives the food, but only after expending a certain amount of energy, thus mirroring nature. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090114166 | Water sprinkler for dogs - A water sprinkler specifically designed for exercising and entertaining dogs that is composed of a highly-durable, non-toxic, flexible, plastic, or like material having perforations for water to spray. Dogs entertain themselves in water sprinklers, however, water sprinklers are often not durable and do not withstand dogs biting them. Dogs can also harm themselves by biting sharp material used to manufacture most standard water sprinklers. This invention is a durable rubber or similar material bone water sprinkler that connects to a standard garden water hose. Dogs can pick it up in their mouths to move it around, nip at the spraying water, and chew on the water sprinkler safely. The body of the sprinkler is shaped in a manner that encourages play even without water spraying from the perforations. The water sprinkler for dogs addresses the chewing and biting issue characteristic of dogs when playing with water sprinklers. | 05-07-2009 |

The flexibility of the collapsible barrel makes training ideal because it eliminates injury to the legs of the rider and the body of the horse. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20110146585 | Exercise weight for horses and other users - An exercise weight primarily for horses, to increase the horse's energy expenditure level during exercise. A slurry of polymerized plastic material is mixed with powdered metal, e.g. lead, producing a paste which is extruded in thin sheets, dried and cut to size. A selected number of such sheets are parallel stacked within a cover and can slide over each other to an extent limited by stitches or other fasteners holding the layers to the cover. The Young's Modulus of Elasticity (YME) of the resultant exercise weight is extremely low (typically less than about 2.5). The exercise weight can have various forms, such as the shape of a saddle to lie on the horse's body. When the horse gallops and its anatomical shape dynamically changes, the low YME permits the exercise weight on the horse to deform to adapt to the shape changes in the horse without generating large resistive forces or counterforces pushing against the horse. Avoiding these counterforces helps reduce injuries to the horse and allows better conditioning. The device weight can be increased by adding additional thin layers, up to but not substantially exceeding a critical number of layers, without substantially increasing the device's YME. The device can also be used for racing dogs, and other creatures, including humans. | 06-23-2011 |
