In the report, he concluded that those who use the collars and those opposed to them both have concern about what is best for their pet.
He said: "Sometimes it's portrayed that people who use EPTAs are cruel and ignorant, but I don't think that's the case.

"People are looking for a solution to a potentially serious problem which impacts on their quality of life.
"For example, a dog that worries sheep can be devastating to a farmer's business, but just keeping a dog on a lead the whole time when you live in the countryside is not good for the pet, so that is why a solution needs to be found."
Professor Mills also said that if the Government continues to support the legality of EPTAs, additional safeguards against their misuse should be included, such as a voltage limitation feature and a licensing of practitioners together with a procedure for documenting each use.
