A dog owner has been fined £2,000 after becoming the first to be prosecuted in Britain for using an illegal electric shock collar.
Wales banned the devices last year. Phillip Pook, 48, from Ogmore-by-Sea, Vale of Glamorgan, admitted using the collar, to stop his border collie jumping over a wall.
But he had denied he had been warned the collar was illegal.
It was discovered on his dog, found roaming on a beach in December 2010.
