Bill before Parliament to ban the use of e-collars

[yellow dog]

There are tons of resources online and in videos/books on proper collar conditioning. Lardy and Graham both have excellent material on the subject

I find the one on one training works best for me... but yes tons of resources online.

Well argued. I didn't realize the bill had been introduced in B.C. too, and its waiting on a second reading. I'm afraid we'll have to deal with it sooner or later.

The problem is that the limited amount of research on e-collars suggests that dogs trained using e-collars experience higher stress, etc. There are a number of problems with those studies (which all seem to come from the UK), but they have the ring of authority, and this makes it difficult to convince people.

If they saw my dog jump up and down with glee every time I take his collar off the hook and power it up they may have a different outlook on how it affects dogs. But that won't happen. When the present government get's asked to implement a ban it will be a done deal. I predict 6 months 12 months tops before they are banned. At that point I will be a law breaking felon.

My dogs aren't companions there employees . They hunt & I give them room & board .

LOL, as long as they're not companion animals you're ok

Quebec....e- collars

The bill to prohibit e collars has changed. It does NOT make it illegal to use but recommended various options.

Final word....Not Illegal.
