SINGAPORE - Training devices and techniques that cause dogs pain, fear, anxiety and distress should be avoided, a workgroup has recommended in new guidelines introduced on Friday .

The Rehoming and Adoption Workgroup also called on those giving up dogs for adoption to have the dog assessed, and clearly make known the canine's existing medical and behavioural conditions and history.

"These guidelines will help to improve existing rehoming and adoption practices, and encourage better care for our pet dogs. Animal welfare groups can now refer to these guidelines to adopt best practices for rehoming, adoption, and rehabilitation," he said. The new guidelines clarify the roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders involved, and were finalised after many rounds of focus group discussion.

Animal welfare groups, animal trainers and vets said the guidelines are a benchmark against which to measure best practices.
