Electric Shock Training Devices

EDM number 592 in 2006-07, proposed by Sarah McCarthy-Fry on 10/01/2007.

That this House condemns the sale, manufacture, hire, loan, importation or use of electric training devices to train and control dogs, with the exception of electric fences, which operate on a different principle; considers the use of such devices to be cruel and unnecessary; understands that alternative positive training methods produce dogs which are trained more quickly and reliably with no potential for abuse or cruelty; recognises that because dogs are highly reactive to learning experiences and have a strong bond with humans their natural instincts can be utilised to train them easily; and calls upon the Government to introduce a complete ban on the sale, manufacture, hire, loan, importation or use of electric training devices.

This motion has been signed by a total of 82 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
