Electric Shock Dog Collars Great Training Tool or just plain Cruelty?  

Its so much cruel to allow this all .Thank god we don't have anything like this in our country but i feel this is extremely bad and torturous job . Dogs are cute pet , if this zap is given to them often then they might think they are given punishment for speaking up and eventually they will start becoming more silent and lonely .

This is not cruelty. We call this 'brainless inhuman atrocity'. A dog should be taught by it's owner and trained by him or her in a different way. I have a dog at my home who I have trained many things.
I never gave her punishments. But love and food. If she does something wrong, i tell her. She just whimpers and hangs her head. Then I go and hug her. She understands my feelings and I understand hers.
It's love that rules above cruelty and force.

For me the answer is simple. Would you ever put one of those collars on your baby so they wouldn't get into things? I some how don't think so and neither would I.

I find it's better to just train the dog not to do things they shouldn't but doing it will love, and a lot of treats instead of torture.

i think its cruel. i couldnt get one and use it.. seeing my baby hurt every time i used it would kill me

Yes, I think this is cruel. There are other effective ways to correct your dog from barking. First correct the problem. Meaning tell your dog to stop either a look, a sound, or simply the word no. However, your dog may pause for a min. and then go right back to barking. Don't back down. Wait until your dog completely stops barking before you go back to what you were doing. You must remember to stay calm. Animals can pick up on the unblanaced energy that you are putting off so always stay calm and follow through with the first step. Most importantly give your dog more challenges. Barking is often the result of pent-up energy. The solution is simple: release that pent-up energy. Does your dog recieve a daily walk? Letting your dog outside to go potty does not count as a walk. Provide more mental challenges for your dog such as agility or even simple obedience games. There are many ways to increase challenges in your dogs life. Find one that you both can enjoy.
