A lot of folks who use different tools such as prong collars and remote/shock collars, are on the end of some pretty hateful emails, comments online and verbal and even physical attacks out in public. This is true for both dog owners and dog trainers, many dog trainers are attacked by packs of folks who do organized hate on their social media pages...i have gotten hundreds of comments in a day bashing me on social media. Lots of my colleagues get the same.
