These collars are often ineffective even in the larger breeds (especially high pain threshold breeds such as Malamutes..etc), who will "endure" the shock repeatedly and run through the fence.
I personally find it abusive to any animal...but that is JMO.

Wow. Let's not turn this into another one of those debates. She already owns one. I was just trying to warn her about using it on a yorkie like she asked. I am personally glad that she brought it up and was smart enough to ask in case others were wondering the same thing. Please be careful throwing the word "abusive" around.
