The product at issue, identified as the Canicom Spray, is described as a dog training device. The product consists of a battery-powered dog collar that incorporates a spraying valve and a refillable tank, along with a remote control. The collar has the ability to vibrate, emit a beeping sound, and spray liquid mist in the direction of the dog’s nose, and a user can activate and deactivate these features via the remote control. The Canicom Spray serves as a training aid, and the vibrations, beeps, and spray can be activated when a dog is not following commands properly. Based on the information provided, the Canicom Spray serves a function similar to that of the Deluxe Spray NoBark Collar set described in New York Ruling Letter N267822, dated September 11, 2015.
