Rejection of the ban on Ecollars and training tools in Scotland.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Dog owners and trainers across Scotland would like to make a stand against the ban of Ecollars and potentially other vital training tools, by urging the Government to review the suggested ban.
Ecollars and other training tools such as prong collars, slip leads and check chains play a critical part daily in the rehabilitation of thousands of dogs across Scotland. Ecollars and the other tools mentioned above have saved the lives of many dogs that positive only training has failed. By banning ecollars and other training tools so many dogs will unnecessarily be euthanised and livestock attacks will rise.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
