Sorry, but I only reported what our vet has told us.  Since I am not a vet or
a vet technician, my normal responce would be to believe the vet.  However, I
still would not use a shock collar.  Being raised on a farm, I am very
familiar with electric fences and have been zapped many times.  It hurts.  So,
I can only imagine that a shock collar would have the same effect.  However, I
prefer not to use anything to stop Angel from barking.  She's a dog and dogs
like to bark.  I dont keep her out all day and she likes to run and play.  But
I have noticed that when she is bored outside, is when she starts barking.
