No Shock Shirt

In spring of 2006, a group of dog trainers and behavior consultants became increasingly alarmed at the proliferation of shock collar use among companion dog owners, inexperienced trainers and 'behaviorists', as well as the way the use of these devices was being promoted by their manufacturers. From that concern, the No Shock Collar Coalition came about. The NSCC began merely as a silent protest against the inhumane use of pain-delivering devices used in the name of 'dog training', and I created a single web page where principled people could come and mark their name in a public place to protest the inhumane use of shock on companion canines in the name of training.

The use of these devices continues to grow, through misunderstanding and lack of public education on the dangers of these devices. The NSCC is committed to consolidating the best, newest and most accurate information about the real effects of shock collars on the well-being of the dogs in our country.
