Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the technical field of dog training equipment, in particular to a sound pickup device, a pet training monitor and a training monitoring method thereof.

BACKGROUND

With the continuous development of economy and society, more and more people keep pets, and they often regard pets as important members of their families. Because of the characteristics of pet dogs, owners need to take their dogs outdoors to walk their dogs every day. Once a puppy runs out of the house and is not tied with a leash, it often runs happily because it gets carried away. At this time, some owners often follow behind, but for some people who are slow to move, they can only run around. If a dog runs far away, it can only be called back by shouting. For some dogs that run far away, the owner's voice becomes weak. In this case, if the dog cannot be recalled in time, it will easily lead to the loss of the dog.

At the same time, with the increasing number of pet families, the demand for enhancing the communication between owners and pets and regulating the behavior of pets is increasing. Therefore, pet trainer has become an auxiliary tool for ordinary families to train pets.

Most products of the existing pet trainer do not have the function of voice playing. Although some products have the function of playing the pre-stored voice, they can't give the real-time command voice to the pet directly when it runs away. Of course, some products have the function of real-time voice playing, but their size is large, which increases the burden after the pet wears it, and the cost and power consumption are relatively high, so they are not suitable for ordinary families. At the same time, the function is relatively simple, which greatly limits the pet breeder's management means for pets.
