Our Story:

As a dog lover, I'm sure we share the same concerns... the dreaded day of dealing with aggression from other animals? My beloved former Border Terrier, Murphy, was in quite a pickle during one of our leisurely walks. An aggressive dog ambushed and grabbed him by the throat, pinning him to the ground. It was something straight out of a horror movie! The world went into slow motion! We thought Murphy's life would end that day, and we'd have to live with the memory for the rest of our lives. When coming home, I was told Murphy might die from his wounds. Naturally distraught, I stayed with him on the sofa for 3 days, not leaving his side. That's when the idea for a defence collar came to me quickly. Fast forward a few months, and I'd created a prototype using an electrical fly squat, leather, wire and a 3.7-volt battery! After six months, Murphy recovered. Overjoyed but still filled with dread about our future walks together. He displayed signs of stress, trauma and was anxious outside unless held. Eventually, Murphy found the courage to roam freely, but only while wearing his new basic homemade defence collar. Alas, DogFender was born! 👇

Dog-on-Dog Attacks: A Growing Concern

Just like driving, where you might be the most careful person on the road, it's often other drivers who pose the biggest threat to your safety.

The same goes for walking your dog—even if your furry friend is well-behaved, other dogs can be unpredictable.

With over 2,000,000 cases of serious dog-on-dog injuries or fatalities reported last year worldwide, unless you've been living under a rock the past few years, you'll acknowledge this is a concern!

The trauma from these incidents can leave lasting emotional scars on both dogs and owners.

Having experienced a near-fatal dog-on-dog attack, we understand the anxiety and sense of nervousness that turns what should be a peaceful walk into a highly stressful experience.

Whether you've experienced canine aggression, have an anxious dog, or simply want to be proactive, our defence collar is a robust piece of pet tech designed with your dog's safety in mind.

Have you heard about "Emilies Law"?

Southend West MP Anna Firth has introduced a new "Emilie's Law". This new law seeks justice for fatal dog-on-dog attacks after the tragic death of a much-loved bichon frise.

It's shocking to see how dog attacks have risen by 700% in 5 years between 2016 to 2021, and we agree that it's beyond time for change.

"What can be done to address the growing frequency of such assaults? Unfortunately, in cases like Michael's, where he was not in fear for his safety, and Emilie was not a service or assistance dog, then the attacking dog cannot be classified as "dangerous" under the law." - Express-News

This bill aims to hold irresponsible dog owners accountable for their pet's actions, making fatal dog attacks a criminal offence.

It's an important and positive step in the right direction that may just provide justice for the many victims out there of canine aggression that has devastated their owners who are left to suffer these preventable tragedies.

Want to know if we have a 60-second timer on the DogFender defence collar?

Because we know dogs, and we know how dog owners sometimes love a good natter! Depending on where you live, we understand that conversations can arise when out walking your furry friends.

You might bump into a neighbour, an old friend, or someone's child while en route walking your dog.

Should you accidentally have your DogFender on defence mode against one of those chats, well, that wouldn't be good for anyone!

So, as a safety precaution, your dogFender collar offers 60 seconds of defence per activation, enough time to repel and defend against an aggressive encounter to safely get away.

We've been in active communication with our local MP, Oliver Dowden, and we're delighted to share that he has taken the time to consider our request to address the broader terminology around E-Collars.

You see, for many, seeing broad statements about "E-Collars" online can mislead as to the main function of what Dogfender does, which is to safeguard your dogs with convenience.

In a world where canine aggression is on the rise, it's crucial to understand that some may lead you to believe that with the right training, you are invincible from such encounters.

It's important to remember that dogs, being animals, can be unpredictable by nature. Aggression isn't always obvious or what you might expect. The truth is that these dog-on-dog incidents are becoming increasingly unpredictable and dangerous.

So, the question is—wouldn't it be better to use a small, humane stimulus to deter an attacking dog and potentially save both dogs from harm rather than risk further injuries to pets and their owners?

For months, we've been working to push for clarity on the use of E-Collars, highlighting the key differences between collars used for training and those designed to protect.

DogFender is a defence collar with one primary goal: to save lives, not train dogs.

While there's more work to be done, we're proud to be leading this conversation and to be acknowledged for what DogFender truly represents: keeping dogs safe from harm.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far. Together, we're making a difference!

"Southend MP introduces new Bill to tackle dog-on-dog attacks after Chalkwell incident."

It's great to see Southend MP Anna Firth taking action on this serious issue with the introduction of "Emilie's Law" following the devastating death of a bichon frise in Leigh.

"In the five years between 2016 and 2021, there was a 700 per cent increase in dog-on-dog attacks, rising to 11,559 from just 1,700." - Mr Francois, MP for Rayleigh and Wickford.

It's clear that dog aggression is a growing problem that needs attention. Currently, dog owners are not liable for fatal attacks unless a service dog or human is involved, but this bill could change that.

11/10/2024

We've been working hard behind the scenes liaising with DEFRA on some of the misleading information surrounding traditional E-Collars used for training.

Here's the truth: Despite what you might read online, E-Collars are not banned in England. While there were proposals, even brought to the House of Commons earlier this year, there wasn't enough support to pass legislation banning remote-controlled e-training collars except in Wales, where the ban has been in place for several years.

So, when we see false claims online saying E-Collars are banned, we step in to set the record straight!

We're now pushing for the correct terminology to be used when publishing anything to do with "E-Collars and Shock collars."

Not all collars that emit electricity are the same! Take our DogFender Defence Collar, for example. Its primary purpose is to save lives, not train. We believe it shouldn't be lumped in with other types of collars.

We've been liaising with Oliver Dowden and DEFRA for a few months now, and we're thrilled to share that they've acknowledged the difference in intended use and are considering revising the terminology around E-Collars.

This is a huge step in the right direction!

While the fight isn't over, we're incredibly proud to be recognised for what we truly stand for: keeping dogs and their owners safe. DogFender doesn't harm dogs; it can actually save them from tragic outcomes. 🐾

Thank you for your support in making this happen! And for all our early customers for having trust and faith in our defence collar.
