I rarely get political but the amendments will effect a lot of followers. This isnโt just prong collars - when you read the amendments it includes banning check chains and banning tethering your dog with collars, harnesses, muzzles and bark collars(shock) - they have not consulted the community and this is wrong. Regardless of what you may think this WILL effect you either with neighbors barking dogs - less restrained dogs in public or simply trying to stop your dog escaping the yard. Sign it today.

๐๐ฝ Whether you are a dog owner, community member, pet professional, dog trainer or just an average joe blow, the new amendments to the Animal Protection and Care Act (2001) affect you.
๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ Why? Because the Queensland Government has made drastic changes to the act and proposed tool bans ๐๐ถ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ even consulting with industry professionals, let alone members of the community that utilize these tools!
๐๐ฝ The proposed amendments look to ban specific dog training tools including the prong collar, with provisions that will enable the Government to ban any other 'restraint devices' at any time.
๐ The definition given to restraint devices within the proposed amendment is:

๐ณ Does this affect you?
โ๐ฝ It not only impacts individual dog owners, but it impacts professional dog trainers, their business, their clients and the COUNTLESS dogs that they work with, to change their lives and give them freedoms within the community. It has been those tools, that they wish to ban, that have made walking those dogs SAFE for other community members.
