I agree with absolutely everything Gemy said.

Remember, your dog is not learning respect for you from the collar, just to fear & react to whatever precedes the beep/shock & associate that & all surrounding smells & events with all that unnatural unpleasantness - so foreign to the natural instincts of a dog to respond to a leader. Any beeping from this point on could send it into a shaking, nervous, fearful jelly of a dog. It could all end in a fearful mess of a dog who will still bite you because it hasn't learned from you who is leader & follower in your little family pack. I know you are kind of feeling bombarded so I'm hoping that though you will initially feel very defensive & like we are ganging up - just take the time to consider why all the truly reputable & valued expert trainers & veterinarians vote "no" to any type shock collar training in cases like your dog's.

Shock collars are only for a last-ditch efforts for vicious, aggressive dogs with a history of attacks & bites headed for death by court order unless they can be rehabbed by expert trainers & rehomed permanently with expert handlers. And they only briefly use them during periods of extreme rage at first, then the other positive reward/NILIF type training takes over for the entire rest of the sessions.
