The main goal of this study is to characterize the everyday use of e-collars by dog owners, in France where there are currently no regulations on their use.A sample (n=1,251) of dog owners was recruited using an online questionnaire. Data were collected using Google Forms. Factors associated with the use of e-collars were determined using a chi-squared test.
