Cara Delevingne has reportedly upset animal lovers after her dog Leo was spotted wearing a 'pepper spray' training collar.

The anti-barking device, which is fitted round her pup's neck, gives off a spray of citronella whenever a certain decibel level is reached by the animal, to discourage it from barking.
The supermodel is extremely close to her dog, which is named after her star sign, and has brought him with her on the press tour for her latest blockbuster film Suicide Squad.
Cara, 23, was spotted leaving Claridge's Hotel where she has been staying with the husky crossbreed she adopted last year, on Friday night with the collar firmly attached.
The use of the device is quite controversial and Lynn Barber, the training and behaviour manager for Dogs Trust charity, told a website: "At the Dogs Trust, we don't recommend the use of any adverse technique or equipment for any kind of behaviour issue. You have to find out the cause of the dog's behaviour rather than punish it."
