THE POCTA PROCESS NEEDS AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION

This is no longer just about prong collars.

It is about whether Parliament and the people of NSW were given an accurate account of how proposed section 22A was developed.

Parliament was told that Professional Dog Trainers of Australia (PDTA) was consulted about the proposed ban.

We were not.

PDTA received no meeting, no briefing, no request for evidence and no opportunity to explain the practical consequences before the Bill was drafted — despite the parliamentary petition expressly calling for qualified and experienced professional dog trainers to be consulted.

Since PDTA challenged this claim, responses have referred broadly to community feedback and submission numbers. But that does not answer the question:

Who was specifically consulted about banning prong collars, and when?

If consultation records exist, publish them. If they do not, correct the record.

There is also a significant inconsistency in the proposed legislation.

Government dog handlers, including Australian Defence Force members, are not subject to the proposed prohibition in the same way as ordinary dog owners. Yet section 22A provides no regulated professional pathway and no disability exemption.

If this equipment is inherently cruel in every circumstance, why are government handlers treated differently?

If it can be responsibly used by trained and accountable government handlers, why can’t an appropriately regulated pathway exist for qualified professionals and people with disability?

Section 22A should be paused and its development independently investigated.

That investigation should establish who was consulted, what evidence was relied upon, how the claim that PDTA was consulted arose, whether disability impacts were properly assessed, and why safeguards applied to government handlers could not support a regulated civilian pathway.

Animal welfare deserves serious, evidence-based policy.

People with disability deserve to be heard.

Parliament deserves an accurate record.

Section 22A should not proceed until these questions are answered.

Spaying is not the answer to behavioural issues. Training and understanding your dogs needs are the best ways to prevent behavioural issues from arising or fix those that you have caused in ignorance. Spaying or neutering are not the answer and often compound the problem.

DOES SPAYING OR NEUTERING REALLY MAKE DOGS CALMER?

For decades, many people have been told that spaying or neutering helps reduce unwanted behaviors. But a new 2026 peer-reviewed review published in Animal Reproduction suggests the science is more complicated.

After reviewing decades of research, the authors concluded there’s not enough consistent evidence to recommend spaying or neutering solely to change behavior. In fact, several studies included in the review found some dogs showed more fear, anxiety, or certain forms of aggression after being spayed or neutered.

Why? The review explains that reproductive hormones don’t just influence reproduction. They also play important roles in brain function, learning, memory, stress responses, and emotional regulation. Removing those hormones may affect dogs differently depending on their genetics, age, s*x, breed, and individual temperament.

One of the most interesting parts of the review is that the authors discuss hormone-preserving alternatives that prevent breeding while allowing the body to continue producing its natural hormones. These include:

🐕 Vasectomy – prevents male dogs from reproducing while leaving the testicles in place, so testosterone production continues.

🐕 Ovary-sparing spay – removes the uterus but leaves one or both ovaries intact, preventing pregnancy while preserving ovarian hormone production.

The authors suggest they deserve more attention because they can help preserve some of the health and behavioral benefits associated with natural hormones while still preventing unwanted litters.

The review doesn’t argue that dogs should or shouldn’t be spayed or neutered. Instead, it encourages veterinarians and pet owners to move away from a one-size-fits-all approach and make decisions based on each dog’s individual health, lifestyle, behavior, and risk of reproduction.

Go Drax!!

NT Police have recovered two stolen fi****ms after a stolen Toyota Landcruiser was allegedly driven from Daly River to Darwin.

Strike Force Trident, the Dog Operations Unit and Operation Ventura tracked down the stolen vehicle, arrested four people and recovered both stolen rifles from separate bushland locations.

A special shoutout goes to Patrol Dog Drax 🐕‍🦺 whose incredible nose helped police locate the hidden fi****ms.

A 15-year-old has since been charged, while investigations remain ongoing.
