WELCOME TO THE TRAINING COLLAR OWNERS GROUP
The Training Collars Owners Group (t.COG®), was launched to offer advice and support to pet owners who use or are considering the use of electronic training devices to train their pets.
Official statement:
“The ECMA is very disappointed that the Welsh Assembly Members yesterday approved the Animal Welfare (Electronic Collars) (Wales) Regulations 2010 banning the use of Electronic Collars in Wales. ECMA believes this decision and the regulations are seriously flawed as they ignore significant scientific evidence which establishes the considerable benefits of using the collars as experienced by around 500,000 collar owners in the U.K. The result will be that more dogs will die; more dogs will have to be re-homed and more owners will have to be distressed at having to give up their pets. Pet owners in Wales are now worse off than those in other parts of the UK. Accordingly, solicitors for the ECMA have today formally requested an urgent reconsideration and reversal of the implementation of this decision by the Welsh Ministers. If that request is not complied with imminently, ECMA will seek Judicial Review of this decision in the High Court.”
Mission:
“Our Mission is to support pet owners in their use of Electronic Training Collars, to provide general training information through our website and to prevent unnecessary euthanasia of difficult-to-train animals, when training using electronic technology is a realistic alternative.”
