1. A small dog comfort adapter for use with electronic dog collars having a housing containing means for selectively generating an electrical charge and first and second external electrode connections on a housing inner face, comprising
an electrically non-conductive base plate;
a first electrode coupled to said base plate, said first electrode comprising an electrically conductive first plate and an electrically conductive first filamentary contact element projecting from said first plate and in electrical communication with said first plate, wherein said electrically conductive first filamentary contact element is bendable under motions of a body of a dog provided with said small dog comfort adapter;
a second electrode coupled to said base plate, said second electrode comprising an electrically conductive second plate and an electrically conductive second filamentary contact element projecting from said second plate and in electrical communication with said second plate, wherein said electrically conductive second filamentary contact element is bendable under motions of a body of a dog provided with said small dog comfort adapter;
means for placing said first electrode in electrical communication with said first external electrode connection and means for placing said second electrode in electrical communication with said second external electrode connection; and
means for attaching said electrically non-conductive base plate, said first electrode and said second electrode to said housing inner face;
wherein said electrically conductive first filamentary contact element and said electrically conductive second filamentary contact element each comprise a wire frame, each wire frame comprising a first wire leg and a second wire leg.
