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.

A huge thank you to Catherine from Pet-ex Services for delivering such a brilliant Canine First Aid Course this weekend 🐾🩺

Congratulations to everyone who took part and completed the training. It’s such a reassuring feeling knowing we can step in with confidence if our canine companions ever need a bit of help through injury or recovery. From bandaging and assessing to simply staying calm and supportive, every bit of knowledge makes a real difference.

I completely forgot to take many photos, the tea, cake and biscuits were far too distracting 😂 but it was such a lovely, relaxed day with a great bunch of people.
