We use an electronic training collar for our youngest dog. It has a vibrate setting and a shock setting. When we have to correct her, she gets a vibrate first. If she responds, we are done. If she doesn't, she gets a quick, light shock. My husband and I have both used the collar on our bare necks (no fur there to protect).
When she was being trained, she wore the collar all the time while learning basic commands (sit, stay, heel, come). The collar was worn but never used during the learning process. The collar was put to use once she learned those commands but wouldn't obey when slightly distracted. By doing that, she never learned to associate the vibrate or shock with the collar itself. To this day, when we get the collar out, she happily comes over to put it on. I would never want a dog corrected with an e-collar without the dog knowing the commands first.
