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.
what year was the shock collar invented?
No, a shock collar is not considered a leash. A shock collar is a training tool that delivers an electric shock to a dog as a form of punishment or correction, while a leash is a physical restraint used to control a dog's movement.

A shock collar works by distracting a dog from barking through a device that delivers a stimulation. This might be a vibration,electrical shock, or audio sound. There is much controversy over the use of these devices.
Do not put on a dog shock collar. It is inhumane for dogs and can cause nerve damage to people acting stupid. Trust me it is not healthy for you.
Using a bark collar shock collar combo for training your dog can provide benefits such as effectively correcting unwanted behaviors, improving obedience, and promoting safety for both the dog and others.
You could try using a shock collar, or a 'lampshade' collar.
it shouldnt. it normally just depends on the voltage of the bark collar
why do people put shock collars on there dogs
There are many different retailers that sell a petsafe shock collar. In addition to the Amazon website, one might also try purchasing from the local pet store.
The dog is equipped with a shock collar which can be triggered by the owner to give the dog a reminder that what she's doing is wrong. The trigger sends a radio signal to the collar which causes it to emit a small electric shock that feels unpleasant for the dog.
