Your dogdidn’t sign upto get zapped.
The loud, science-backed, slightly unhinged case against shock collars, prongs and alpha nonsense. Plus zoomies. Lots of zoomies.
Treats not zaps. No prongs. No alpha b.s.. Receipts or it didn’t happen. Wages, not bribes. Pain is not a training plan.
Myths, busted with receipts

Prong Collars and the “Mother’s Bite” Myth
Your dog’s mother never came with a leash attached.
The Wiggle Manifesto
Treats, not zaps. And every claim comes with receipts.
- Pain is not a plan.If a tool only works because it hurts or scares, it’s out.
- Receipts or it didn’t happen.Every claim links a study, a law or a maker’s own page.
- Roast methods, not people.Most shock-collar owners were sold one. We’d rather win you over.
- Treats are wages.You get paid to work. So does your dog.
- Zoomies are sacred.Weird is welcome here. Nobody gets corrected for joy.
Bin it. Buy this.
