Closed Ban the use of Prong Collars

Closed on

Prohibit the use of prong collars on dogs. These are aversive ‘tools’ that individuals and some dog trainers use to prevent a dog pulling or lunging.

They work by causing discomfort/pain and can cause injury. They can cause physical and psychological damage and can worsen reactivity in dogs.

To prevent suffering. Causing pain to a dog is not only unethical but can make it more likely that a dog will react aggressively as it may associate certain things with pain.
