Hasan Piker Denies Shock-Collar Claim After Viral Clip of Dog Yelping

No authority has confirmed an investigation despite calls for action.

Overview

  • A short clip from Piker’s October 7 Twitch stream shows his dog, Kaya, yelp after he scolded her, prompting allegations that he used a shock collar to keep her in view.
  • Piker told viewers the sound came from Kaya clipping herself while getting off the bed and he rejected accusations of abuse.
  • Prominent creators including Tectone, Ethan Klein, xQc, and LosPollosTV criticized Piker publicly after the clip spread.
  • Commenters cited Piker’s prior acknowledgment that he owns a shock collar, while others argued the device on Kaya was an AirTag-style collar or that she hit her dew claw.
  • Users urged reports to Los Angeles animal services and pressed Twitch to act, but no official inquiry or platform enforcement had been reported.
