Dog's Choice Dog Training and Behaviour

Welfare first! Thank you for representing us Lorna 😊

The dog training & behaviour industry in the UK is unregulated. However, responsible & ethical professionals will be members of one of the humane organisations (such as the UK Dog Training & Behaviour Charter) where you will have the piece of mind that they have signed up to follow a strict code of conduct, to not use force, coercive methods or tools designed to cause discomfort or pain in their training. If you want piece of mind in your choice of trainer, ask to see their membership of professional force-free trainers and their code of conduct.

A recent U.S. class action (Hernandez v. Radio Systems Corporation) has resulted in compensation for consumers after claims that e-collars were misrepresented in sales and marketing as “safe” and “humane.” The complaint also outlined that such devices can cause both physical injury and psychological harm to dogs. Details are in the link below.

At the UK Dog Behaviour & Training Charter, we uphold a strict no-shock collar and non-aversive policy. Training should build trust, promote wellbeing, and respect the dog’s experience, not rely on pain, fear, or coercion.

If you’re looking for humane, ethical training support that puts the emotional wellbeing of your pet first, you can find qualified professionals through our Charter member organisations and their members, who are all committed to kind, science-led methods.

Let’s keep bringing out the best in dogs through kindness, clarity, and care.
