A vibrating one might be less harmful to the animal but neither really should be used. Shock collars are part of what is called negative reinforcement training, where something bad happens to the dog if they do not do what you want.

Negative reinforcement teaches your dog to do what you want because they fear you. They don't do it because they want to please their owner, they do it for fear they may get hurt or shocked again. This method produces quick results, but destroys the bond between dog and owner, and often the dog is not taught and corrective behaviour - just not to do something.

Positive reinforcement teaches your dog to do what you want because they get something good and they want to please you. Positive reinforcement is always the way to go with training. You and your dog will be much happier. It will also depend on the dog as a vibrating collar may not work as well with some dogs.
