Using electric shock collars as a form of training for cats can be highly ineffective and potentially harmful. The most effective way to train a cat is through positive reinforcement, such as treats and praise when it performs the desired behaviors, or by redirecting unwanted behaviors to rewardable activities. In some cases, territorial instincts of cats must be addressed in particular instances; however, extreme care must be taken when handling them to prevent any sort of intimidation or fear, especially since cats lack the ability to effectively communicate their discomfort or pain. Therefore, caution and attention must be implemented when attempting cat training with an electric shock collar.

Using electric shock collars to train a cat should be done with caution, as cats tend to be very sensitive to any type of discipline. In order for the training to be effective, it is important to start with short and low level static corrections, only when your catmisbehaves in a dangerous way or doesn't react to verbal commands. Make sure the stimulation is never painful and increase the intensity over time based on your cat's reaction. Additionally, you should always reward good behavior with treats and praise.
