| Project tRADE |
We participate in tRADE - turn in your Shock collars, Choke
chains, Prong collars, Scat Mats and Bark Collars for a 10%
discount on one sessions and 15% off a training package.
How Would You Like to Trade Your Old Dog Training Equipment for
Great Discounts? We want to swap great discounts on our most popular
services FOR your choke, prong or shock collars or any other qualifying
pet gear. By participating in “Project tRade” you can earn up to 15%
off our most popular services simply by giving us old pet gear* you
have laying around. It couldn’t be easier!
What is “Project tRade”?
Project tRade is the Pet Professional Guild's (PPG) international advocacy
program that promotes the use of force-free pet training equipment by
asking pet guardians to swap choke, prong and shock collars (and any
other devices that are designed to change behavior through pain or fear).
Because we want all pets and their guardians to experience the huge
advantages and long-lasting effectiveness of force-free training and pet
care, we will give you great discounts on our most popular, effective,
fun and pain-free training and pet care services in exchange for your
old gear.
Effective, humane animal training and pet care methods are the
foundation of any animal’s healthy socialization and training and
help prevent behavior problems. Since a wide variety of equipment
and tools are commonly used when training pets, the pet-owning public
needs to be aware of the potential problems and dangers some equipment
may pose. Specifically, the use of collars and leads that are intended to
apply constriction, pressure, pain or force around a dog’s neck (such
as ‘choke chains’ and ‘prong collars’) should be avoided. Distinguished
veterinarians and behaviorists worldwide are joining the discussion
and calling for the elimination of such devices from the training efforts
of both pet owners and professionals.
What Do the Experts Say?
Respected veterinarian and thyroid expert, Dr. Jean Dodds, recommends
against choke or prong collars “as they can easily injure the delicate
butterfly-shaped thyroid gland thatsits just below the larynx and in
front of the trachea. These collars can also injure the salivary glands
and salivary lymph nodes on the side of the face underneath both ears.”
Bestselling author and canine behaviorist, Jean Donaldson, says: "These
devices (choke and prong collars), when they work, do so to the degree
that they hurt. With the advent of modern methods and tools they are
irrelevant.”
According to veterinarian and veterinary behaviorist Dr. Soraya V.
Juarbe-Diaz: "Using punishment to stop behaviors is not new. Notice I
say ‘stop’ rather than ‘teach’ -- I can stop any behavior, but I am more
interested in teaching my students, animal or human, to choose the
behavior I want them to perform because they can trust me, because I
do not hurt them and they are safe with me, and because the outcome
is something they enjoy.”
PPG thus encourages all pet owners and pet professionals to embrace
modern, scientifically based, training techniques and tools, especially
the latest generation of no-pull harnesses which are free of the risks
posed by traditional collars and offer far more benefits. So swap your
gear and help create a kinder world for you and your pet!
