Closed Ban the sale, ownership and use of prong & shock collars for dogs

Closed on

The Government should make it illegal for prong and shock collars for dogs to be sold, owned or used, to prevent dog trainers and owners from using them as a training tool.

We believe the use of electric shock and prong collars is an outdated and negative method of training dogs, and can have disastrous consequences for both humans and other dogs who come into contact with the dog.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