Richard Polsky (1994) examined whether aggression in dogs can be elicited through the use of electronic pet containment systems. He collected data relating to incidents where dogs that were trained, or in the process of being trained, with an electronic pet containment system and had shown aggression towards people. Polsky concluded that due to the lack of prior development, the nature and intensity and context of the attacks, the incidents recorded could quite plausibly have involved shock-induced aggression.
We all know that morally shocking dogs to control them is wrong. Isn't that what used to happen to slaves to keep them in line? Dogs are not slaves!
With the help of you guys, we may be able to get these torture items off the market and make it clear to spoil not shock your dogs. There are so many other ways!
Hopefully with the numbers signing this petition it proves it is the majority of people who see it as wrong and something needs to be done about it-

I have finalized the formal letter to the regulatory body outlining the evidence on shock-induced aggression. My next step is delivering this documentation to the primary retailers mentioned in the petition to demand a change in their product offerings.

The growth of this petition has reached a level that allows me to formally request a sit-down with industry regulators. I am currently drafting a letter that outlines the risks of shock-induced aggression supported by the research I have gathered. Expect an update once I confirm the time for this meeting.

training dogs with shock collars because we're too lazy to spend the time to train them properly is simply inhumane. disgusting.
it makes me sick seeing these things in pet stores. if you cant handle a dog without hurting it then dont get one period.
this dig collers are cruel and whoever buys these electric dog collers must go to hell!!
Disgusting, I know dog trainers and their dogs are qualified for crufts and not once have I ever seen a shock collar
if they're humane for animals, why not kids? Would you put a device that sent electric shots around your child's neck? No because it's a sick idea that in no way shape or form should be legal.
May GOD-THE-ALL-MIGHTY-MERCIFUL-CREATOR impose the very best animal welfare laws and regulations throughout the world; GOD wants us to be merciful and compassionate whenever we can.
its awful - shouldn't be a thing
