Re: Toronto Choke Chain / Prong Collar Ban
I also came across this; so does new by-law apply to all dogs in training facilities, walking down the street, or just Public dog parks? (I will research more, but if someone has a definitive answer go for it!)

I think they should ban newspapers so people won't smack dogs on the butt with them! In all seriousness, education is the key. How many people still put dead chickens on their dogs necks, put their dogs faces in poop, or swat with newspapers? I believe very few. It takes the public a while to learn the best practices. I personally think prongs allow more people to attempt taking their dogs on walks. Dogs on walks = happier dogs. Yes, hoping it gets overturned on all fronts.

Re: Toronto Choke Chain / Prong Collar Ban
I really don't understand this movement regarding such limitations on the freedom of choice. When objection without understanding nets a solution, instead of a germane desire to become informed, there's clearly a problem.

Re: Toronto Choke Chain / Prong Collar Ban
I don't think you will ever change the minds of ANY anti group.
Their objections are often based on feelings and not function.
