❓ Are Shock Collars Legal in Victoria?

⚖️ Yes, but with restrictions. Shock collars are legal in Victoria under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Regulations 2019, but only in prescribed circumstances.

⚡ What This Means for Dog Owners

In Victoria, you can legally purchase and use remote training collars, bark collars, and containment systems, but their use is regulated. The law requires that collars are applied in ways that do not cause unnecessary pain and are used responsibly.

🐾 Responsible Use Guidelines

• Always start at the lowest effective level of stimulation.
• Use collars as a training aid, not punishment.
• Pair corrections with positive reinforcement (praise, treats, play).
• Ensure the collar fits comfortably and does not cause distress.

✅ Best Suited For

• Teaching recall and obedience commands.
• Managing barking in a humane way.
• Providing safe off‑lead control in parks or rural areas.
