I see in our local horsey press hre in the UK that the latest import
from the US is an electronic anti-cribbing collar for horses. The same
company are advertising dog/cat training collars.
Has anyone out there had first hand experience of these and how
sucessful are they?
MORE IMPORTANT ARE THEY CONSIDERED CRUEL?
Thankfully I do not require them but a number of people in our livery
yard may benefit from them if they work.

P.S How much are they in the US.

As far as the dog/cat collars are concerned, they are aimed at keeping
the animals from roaming. A transmitter wire is buried around the
perimeter of the property, and a receiver in the collar gives a mild
shock to the animal when it approaches the perimeter wire. The shock
increases as the animal continues toward the perimeter. I would guess
that a similar process is at work in the horse device. I wouldn't
conside it any crueler than an electric fence - it justs reinforces
through pain avoidance.

There are also dog collars that emit a type of shock when the
dog barks, for example, to break it of incessant barking...
