I am going to assume you just suggested a E collar to zap a dog with eclectic zap to stop barking?????

Here are the scientific reasons it not a good idea.

My only thought is if your going to use this you really need to know what you are doing and the potential fall out. You cause cortisol levels to rise in the dog and they live in fer of it happening again and cirtisol is a killer.

That you had better have really good timing, keep emotions out of it and be aware that for them to work right you need to zap them hard and hurt once and use it as a threat for life that it may happen again.
