Omg Shock collars

I know this may be a frowned subject. I am going to get my yorkie, 13lbs, a shock collar. He zipped out the door when my husband opened it, over the weekend and almost got hit. He ripped out 2 toenails. Vet thought they could be broken toes, but he didn't feel any breaks. His stomach got road rash and his other back leg also. SHield is on antibiotics and pain meds.

I felt completely helpless as he ran away despite me yelling no, stay, cookies. I thought I was going to witness him getting ran over in front of my eyes. HE is usually good but every now and again, he bolts. So, I have always resisted getting a shock collar thinking they were cruel. I discussed it with the vet. WE both think it isn't cruel compared to what I almost witnessed. The dog is extremely lucky! He has the name Shield for a reason!

So, my question is, do any of you have experience with a shock collar on little dogs? Ones to buy? Thanks
