I have been hit with a taser for training purposes, I have also been accidentally hit wth a shock collar. i can tell you from personal experience it is not what I would call "pain". you can most definately feel it and it is not plesant but also not painfull and it does no physical harm and it's not torture unless you abuse it. besides most e-collars have a beep before shock and beep only button. Taser has done encyclopedias worth of research on the taser use and it is the same concept with a shock collar. It is a very effective tool to keep a working k9 in check while working off leash. I personally think i want to start a facebook group called the Shock Collars Save Dogs Lives Coalition SCSDLC (couldnt come up with a good group name acronym) but i have to wait until i get off work. when i do i will post it here. It's ridiculous to think that such a valuable tool would be banned because some non dog hippies think it's cruel. Just like any tool it can be used in a cruel way. Just like the guy who bashed his dog in the head with a sledgehammer (post from yesterday) but we dont see any no sledge hammer coalitions do we? it is the person who is to blame not the tool. just like guns. If you ban guns people will use arrows and spears. ban them and people will use rocks, ban rocks and people will use fists, then you have to ban people. just my $0.02
