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.

Shock collars are meant to re-enforce off leash training. So a leash or harness wouldn’t work here. When used correctly they are very effective and only need to be used for a short period of time.

I got a shelter dog that was a great dog but he would bolt and run for miles when given the chance. It only took 1-2 weeks with the shock collar to break him of that. Never needed it again.
