Used properly, they are safe and effective. Like anything else, they can be abused. I myself have used about every kind of shock collar there is at one time or another. I use the invisible fence - works great until the battery in the collar runs down and does not keep the neighbor's dog out of my yard. I use a remote training collar - it has enabled my dog to continue to play at the dog park even though he can be toy protective and has done AMAZING things for my ability to control him with only voice command. And finally I have used bark collars. These I don't like so much. All they managed to do for me is make my dog afraid of his crate. Oh well! And by the way, I work for a humane society. I wouldn't use anything on my dog that I wouldn't use on myself. Yes, I have tested the shock level on myself. It gets a good jump out of me, that's it.
