Claims (11)

1. An animal training transmitter which communicates with an animal training receiver by wireless communication, the animal training receiver worn on an animal to deliver stimulation to the animal, the animal training transmitter comprising:

a finger inputter which is worn on a user's finger and including a button; and

a transmitter body including a receiving portion and a button, the finger inputter being attachable to and detachable from the receiving portion, wherein the transmitter body is worn on the user's body, the finger inputter is connected to the transmitter body with a cable when detached from the receiving part, and the transmitter body transmits a stimulation delivery signal to the animal training receiver by wireless communication in response to the button of the finger inputter being pressed while connected with the cable.

2. The animal training transmitter according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter body inactivates the button of the finger inputter and activates the button of the transmitter body, when the finger inputter is attached to the receiving portion, and

the transmitter body inactivates the button of the transmitter body and activates the button of the finger inputter, when the finger inputter is detached from the receiving portion and is connected through the cable.

3. The animal training transmitter according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter body inactivates the button of the finger inputter and activates the button of the transmitter body, when the finger inputter is attached to the receiving portion, and

the transmitter body activates both the button of the transmitter body and the button of the finger inputter and allocates different functions, when the finger inputter is detached from the receiving portion and is connected through the cable.

4. The animal training transmitter according to claim 3 , wherein the transmitter body activates the button of the transmitter body to deliver stimulation to a first animal and activates the button of the finger inputter to deliver stimulation to a second animal, when the finger inputter is detached from the receiving portion and is connected through the cable.

5. The animal training transmitter according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter body allocates different functions to the button of the transmitter body and the button of the finger inputter irrespective of whether the finger inputter is attached or detached.

6. The animal training transmitter according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter body determines if the finger inputter is attached or detached based on whether or not a contact terminal included in the receiving portion and a contact terminal included in the finger inputter are brought in contact.

7. The animal training transmitter according to claim 1 , wherein when attaching the finger inputter to the receiving portion, the cable is removed and the finger inputter is attached to the receiving portion.
