This makes me so sad;  wish people wouldn't feel the need to use these types of devices on their pets!  Poor doggie!  Smiley Sad.    Would it be possible that you could talk to this neighbor?

She's had the dog for a few years, I have no idea where she got him from.

 

This is the first time I've witnessed this and think it's been going on a long time.    The dog doesn't bite as far as I know.  He's very friendly when you pet him and loves the attention.

Anyone who uses "correction devices" is abusing the dog. Positive reinfircement methods teach the appropriate behaviors while building a great relationship with your dog.
Someday, when scientists discover the center of the Universe....some people will be disappointed it is not them.

Are you sure it's a shock, (E-collar)? If the dog is shaking it's head and coughing/gagging-it could be a citronella collar. It's a behavior correction collar that sprays a small amount of citronella fluid on the dog. I wouldn't use either one, but the citronella collar seems more humane.

Ask the owner of the dog why such a collar is being used and then decide whether or not you want to call any agency concerning this owner and the treatment of the dog.  This type of collar is cruel.
