Now I can back that up with research out of ok that name gone too. I can pull it if you need to.
Zapers need to be set high very very high for them to stay working and then turned down.
What I am saying it that zapping works but the very first correction with it needs to darn near kill the dog to have a lasting change... and you better do it on the right dog or the wrong one will rediect a bite and get you or the dog will crumble. Wrong dog spends it life cringing at the beep warning that their is a zap coming or a phone beep that a messsage is waiting.. I seen it and we have one that will go to a bite on a beep cause of a zap coller. ( times out of ten that zap that strog will end it it is the tenth time that the dog crubles and you have to repair and work with the rest of your and its life that makes then not ok.
Ok I think that made sence.

I'm not sure I entirely understand what you are trying to say... do you mean when using a shock collar, it must be turned ALL the way up in order for it to 'work'?
Here's the episode I was referring to, where I think the shock collar was used properly, and the dog needed something of the sorts. I would NEVER agree with using a shock collar on a puppy, small dog, or a dog who is not highly and extremely aggressive.
Episode:
Hulu - Dog Whisperer: Bella - Watch the full episode now.
I think the problem with shock collars is people abuse them. Regular dog owners should not be allowed to purchase shock collars, in my opinion, because yes, then you may very well ruin the dog or get bit back, as you stated. You have to use them properly and not very much.
THIS is the WRONG way to use a shock collar... (As V.S. describes here
