"Training tools" such as training collars often cause pain, stress and fear in dogs. In my opinion, a collar or harness cannot train a dog, but good training with the dog AND dog owners who understand and can read their dog can. Such aids are not necessary. Often you don't achieve a training goal or it is less effective if you work with fear and punishment. The Swiss Animal Welfare Ordinance (TSchV) prohibits the use of any aids and devices in accordance with Art. 73 (handling dogs) and 76 (aids and devices): - Pull collars without a stop (often the collars have a stop - but are not used correctly) - prong collars - other lead aids with inwardly protruding elements - Devices that electrify, emit very unpleasant acoustic signals or work by means of chemical substances (such as citronella) Source: https://www.vier-pfoten.ch/unseregesc... Please note, this is not intended to criticise dog owners, but to encourage them to think and reflect. Galaxus, your turn. Kind regards, dog owner with a "difficult" dog

Hello Together Can anyone give me a recommendation for a tracker for my cat? I am unsure which one is really good. I am therefore looking for your experience of which GPS tracker you have tried and which has worked. Thanks for your help Kind regards

I'm thinking of buying an automatic feeder for my cat for short absences. Now I've noticed to my amazement that many manufacturers sell outrageously overpriced silica gel dehumidifier pads that you are supposed to change every month. The reason for this is supposed to be freshness and the prevention of mould growth. If this were a problem, should the feed manufacturer also include something like this in the feed packs or am I misunderstanding? I am currently leaning towards buying one, simply leaving out the filter parts and regularly checking that everything is OK with the food. (Don't put a year's supply in there) Thanks everyone for any useful input LG

We are looking for a suitable bag (actually 2) to transport our two cats intercontinentally in the cabin (due to relocation). Unfortunately the given dimensions (55x40x23) are very small for our 5 and 5.5 kg cats, especially with the height... Does anyone have experience with certain models and can recommend a specific product? We would also be grateful for your experience regarding Swiss; for example, whether the dimensions really need to be followed very strictly. Many thanks to all in advance.
