Do vets recommend shock collars?
Some trainers also use them with dogs who are scared of people or who bark and lunge at other dogs (among other 'nuisance' behaviours). Shock collars are used on these dogs to teach them to stop showing these behaviours using positive punishment.
Citronella Collars Citronella is a plant-based oil that is safe for pups. However, they hate the smell. So instead of giving your dog a shock when they bark, a citronella collar puffs out a little spray of oil.
If doing so makes him a good, obedient boy, then well and good otherwise, you can start e-collar training after six months. However, if your dog is younger than six months, you should never try correcting his unwanted behavior with the dog shock collar.

One of the biggest concerns about shock collar training is that the animal does not know when the shock is coming and has no choice or power over it. Many trainers will prove shock collars aren't painful by putting it on themselves. The problem is that they have control over when the shock happens and at what level.
