    I highly disagree, some dogs are too reactive for or reacy badly to other methods. You also compare it to something painful when in reality 90% of the time it does not hurt the animal when used correctly.

      As the owner of a reactive dog, I disagree. It takes longer to overcome, but gives far better results.

      I also put vibration collars and shock collars in 2 very different categories. A vibration collar is intended to alert the dog, in an unambiguous manner, that they need to do something. A shock collar is intended to provide an immediate, powerfully negative feedback signal.

      Both are known as “shock collars” but they work in very different ways.
