This is noteworthy to those who live, or travel and hunt, in the province of Quebec that they have recently made the use of e-collars, or more specifically "any collar that causes pain or injury", illegal. Dog owners in Quebec caught using shock or prong collars will initially be given a warning, and subsequently issued heavy fines, no less than about $600 per incident.
The link to the actual government website that outlines the law is written in French. However this site http://dogingtonpost.com/quebec-bans-shock-and-prong-dog-collars/#.UyxPDIWn-Hg[/url] show excerpts from the policy and explains the law in English. FYI.
