Ban the use of aversive dog training tools

I would like the Government to ban the use of aversive tools such as electric shock collars, prong collars and invisible fencing due to the possible physical and mental harm caused to animals. I believe trauma and cruelty is unacceptable. Legislation on this topic has still not been enacted.

Aversive techniques of "training" dogs may lead to many harmful side effects. I am concerned that animals, usually dogs, are being abused with these tools that cause pain to make them do as the person inflicting it wants. I believe this is not only abusive but can also prevent dogs communicating their needs and shutting down.
