On Monday, DAERA announced a public consultation regarding proposed animal welfare policy reforms in Northern Ireland. This is a vital chance for those passionate about animal welfare to voice their opinions.

As advocates for kind training methods, we welcome the proposed ban on e-collars, prong collars, and choke collars, which is crucial for promoting humane dog training practices. We also encourage the inclusion of a ban on grot collars and slip leads for training and behavior modification, considering their similar impacts to choke collars.

Dogs are sentient beings; they possess the capacity to experience emotions—both positive and negative. They can feel joy, fear, pain, and distress. We are certain that if they could voice their preferences, they would choose training methods that do not involve being choked, pinched, or shocked. Their ability to bond with humans and feel complex emotions creates a moral obligation to treat them with compassion and advocate for better welfare, including kinder training practices.

If you believe that aversive tools are outdated and that dogs should no longer be trained with fear, pain, or discomfort, please take a moment to share your perspective.

Every voice matters and can greatly impact future legislation aimed at protecting our dogs.

If you want to help spread the word, please copy and paste this original post to share it with others. Your support is invaluable!

Did you know that many countries have already taken a stand against aversive training tools?

It’s NOW time for Northern Ireland to STEP UP!

💔 LEEROY'S REHOMING APPEAL 💔2yr old Labrador X staffy.
So far this beautiful boy hasn't had any visitors, we would really love to get him back into a home again.
Leeroy would really really like a forever home. He is a sensitive big boy, who bonds to his humans and wants to be with you as much as he can be. He will become your best friend, shadow and protector. ❤

He could live with another dog (female) following a meet and greet. Or he would also be more than happy being the only dog and getting all the attention :) He craves human company much more than dog company.

He has previously been raised in a home, but would need some one home most of the day and could build up his leaving times. He does need lead training, as he can be strong and at times he can be reactive on lead towards other dogs. But we are happy to cover training for this, he just needs a commited forever home who will give him some time to learn and become his best self. He was previously raised in a very rural home, which did mean he missed out on alot of socialisation and exposure to the outside world. With some time, patience and training support from a positive trainer, I have no doubts he will continue to flourish into a wonderful boy. A home in a more rural or calm area would be best, so he can get the training support he needs, without constant stress around him.

✅Fully vaccinated, Neutered, microchipped, wormed/flea treated and comes with 5 weeks free pet insurance.
