wales prohibits the use of all shock collars
this ban appears to be on all electric training collars - regardless of how else trainers may be referring to them. Other lists indicate that all of the uK is considering a similar ban. |

I dunno, my dog never showed any kind of dislike towards the prong collar, not any sign other than just not pulling. He went ballistic about the gentle leader on his face. Which is kinder? I dunno, making him "get used to" a bridle like that seems more cruel to me... and I've seen several dogs with irritations on their nose from gentle leaders. Well intentioned (or politically motivated) legislators may not always be right or wrong. We haven't yet tried the chest harness thingy... motivation is lacking when "it ain't broke." |

I believe the prong collar is now considered more humane than the gentle leader by at least one of the training certifiers |
Sorry, but what is a prong collor 
Au, electric training collars  |
| I read an article not too long ago that said that prong collars are actually more humane than regular collars. The pressure is dispersed around the neck rather than concentrated in the tracheal area.
When Tasker was much younger we went to a class where the trainer insisted on a prong collar for any dog over 50 lbs. But she also insisted that the collar be properly fitted and she checked the collar before we were allowed to use them. A prong collar that is too loose or too tight can cause pain, one that fits properly does not. It was an invaluable aid in training. |
