An electronic apparatus (1) for control of vocalization by a dog includes
first and second stimulus electrodes (5) connected to a surface (9) of
the housing, a vibration sensor (6), control circuitry in the housing
having an input coupled to an output of the sensor, and a motion detector
connected in substantially fixed relationship to the dog's neck for
producing a motion detection signal in response to a characteristic
movement of the dog's neck that accompanies barking and providing the
motion detection signal as an input to the control circuitry. The control
circuitry includes output terminals for producing aversive stimulus
signals between the first and second stimulus electrodes in response to
the motion detection signal and a signal produced by the vibration
sensor.
