I do agree that these collars can be misused and in the wrong hands cause more harm than good however in a controlled and knowledgeable environment these collars can assist both the owner and dog. What CAN be done (and is often the case when this topic is brought up) is make sure people are aware of the issues with using these devices and make sure that they seek professional advice before taking this route.
The collars available at Furbabies only spray scented water and we never have, nor never will stock shock collars as we do not agree with them at all. Furbabies only stocks humane, non damaging training aids ie audible and water / smells deterrents and aids to training all of which are completely painless to the pet.
I’ll look into the possibility of adding some information to their descriptions in Furbabies to ensure that people have sought professional advice before making the purchase. If we were to remove these items from sale they will simply be bought elsewhere without any warnings about the effects of their misuse.
Does that sound like a sensible approach?
Lisa,
I shall look into books and i am already looking into the posibilty of a larger range of doggy treats

That sounds like a wonderful idea Kaye . Perhaps a fact sheet could be supplied with these collars too, alongside any instructions inside the box. ____________ Jules and the Ark

Decent sized cages for smaller animals. It took me ages to get a mansion for my indoor bunny. Giant sized small animal holdings I say are the way forward! ____________
