San Francisco SPCA (San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) banned prong collars on their campus in 2016. “Prong collars cause injuries and behavioral problems,” the SPCA says in their announcement of the ban, arguing that “prong collars are designed to inflict pain and discomfort and can cause serious physical, behavioral, and emotional damage.” Not only, says the SF SPCA, can prong collars lead to injuries “from skin irritation and punctures to spinal cord problems,” but they “often lead to long-term behavioral problems,” as “if pain is experienced during everyday activities, like walks and vet visits, dogs can begin to associate an owner’s presence, and other harmless stimuli encountered while wearing the prong, with fear and discomfort.”
