Why do we use shock collars on our dogs?

Some dogs can be a real trouble-makers ,when accumulating bad behaviors like:
Food possessive tendencies
Unprovoked aggression
Unsocialized
Bad with children
A strongly suspected cat-killer
Insubordinate
Untrainable
Well you can make your untrainable dog one of the best trained dogs you'll ever meet. But that required the help of the electric shock collar.
You see, some dogs simply could not resist the chase. And they don't play. They are just like : If it ran, it was on our menu. Owners try treats, meat, habituation; nothing works. Then they realize that one of two outcomes is inevitable:
1-The dog would make a kill or seriously wound an animal, possibly someone's pet.
2-He would get himself killed while pursuing into a dangerous situation, like onto a highway,
or crossing the river.
So , the shock collar is a natural safety net.
This how to use a training E collar to train your dog;
After purchasing a Training E-collar like TR Dog Houndmate 100/R50 , put it on your dog for several days without use.You don't want him to associate the collar with obedience, but rather associate your firm commands with obedience.Then teach him with time that the “vibration” means, “come here, I've got treats”.Now it's the time to test the three levels of the electric shock in the TR Dog Houndmate R50 Training collar and find the level where you notice the dog's sensation. Then teach him that the tingling sensation meant “stop immediately and return to me”.
So now he knows the vibration is a warning ,and a positively associated action, all at the same time. He understands the vibration is both kind, and precautionary.
But why shock? In short, when “in the hunt”,the dogs when smelling blood. Primal. Focused. Unshakeable focus. No command registers to them if they have begun the chase. If you catch them before, they can curb the desire. But never after. The vibrate can't be felt enough when running. So you need to shock them.
The dogs respond instantly; no yelping, no “pain” body-language; they just veers and gently comes back to domestication, looking disappointed to not be chasing.
All this to say that we use the collar for safety reasons. Domestic dogs still have that primal urge to chase and keep on chasing.
The vibration is enough for barks and other undesirable behavior, and we only use the shock feature for safety.
