In the summer of 2018 various newspapers, magazines and T.V. programs ran stories claiming e-collars were banned, it was untrue “Fake News”.
The government had proposed a ban and DEFRA ran a consultation to gauge people’s feelings on the issue, the Consultation lasted 6 weeks ending in April/2018. DEFRA received 7334 responses to the consultation over 64% of all the responses received did not want to see the collars banned. No ban was ever introduced. Remote Trainers, Pet fences and bark control collars are still legal to use and buy; they continue to be an excellent remedial training tool which has saved hundreds of thousands of dog’s lives, so many rescue dogs with problems that just couldn’t find a suitable home were finally successfully rehomed following training with the help of our systems.
