Re: Shock Collar

Used properly by skilled people, they can be very effective training tools. Used improperly by unskilled people, they can be physically painful and mentally harmful (just like almost any other piece of equipment, including even flat collars). I don't use one (I clicker train), but some here use them and have great success with them, and I know a couple of trainers who use them as well.
