shock collar
Canine correction device
A shock collar is a device worn around an animal's neck that delivers an electric shock, typically activated by remote control or triggered automatically.
Used primarily in dog training to discourage unwanted behaviors like barking or crossing boundary lines: The trainer used a shock collar to stop the dog from chasing cars.
Critics consider them inhumane, and some jurisdictions have banned their use.
