We believe the use of electric shock and prong collars is an outdated and negative method of training dogs, and can have disastrous consequences for both humans and other dogs who come into contact with the dog.

These collars can cause pain, discomfort and distress to the dog and could result in the animals behaviour worsening rather than improving
