The term shock collar is actually a misnomer. Used properly an electric dog training collar should be used on low levels to obedience train your dog or fix other unwanted behavior problems. When used properly what the dog feels is not so much a shock but a low level of stimulation.
While a shock collar, or electric dog training collar, can be a very humane tool it is recommended that you work with a dog trainer or other qualified person to show you how to properly use it. If you do use it properly you should be able to train away behavior problems and achieve high levels of advanced off leash obedience.
