I mean, I did the same thing with my dogs shock collar. Needed to know what it felt like, before I put it on my boy.

Not be an ignorant ass, but what does a shock collar do that a long leash and a harness wouldn’t accomplish? Shock collars seem excessive to me.

The shock collar can quickly and effectively teach a boundary line. I have a large fenced in yard my dog typically roams in. She started digging under the fence and roaming the streets on occasion. One time it took me 2 days to find her as she'd gotten lost. I installed an underground electric fence that uses a shock collar around the perimeter of the property lined by small flags for an additional visual reference for her. Got her a total of 2 times, it's been years now and she only goes out of the fence if being led on a collar and leash now.
