    As an ADHDer who wore a dog shock collar to test I can verify.

      Did you have to take off to get back inside the fenced in area?

      I just held it in my hand when I ran out inatead of wearing it since the electric fence experience was first. Tossed it back across but not far enough. Double zap!

        A lot of shock collars are remote controlled, not just with the weird invisible fence gimmick.

          This. It was a remote with adjustable power levels. The lowest wasn’t too bad but it was an eye-opener at the highest setting. lol

            Most shock collars on the highest setting can cause burns, and prolonged shocks can do permanent damage.

            Honestly, shock collars should be fully illegal.
