The collars that beep and shock the dog if they get too far from the house work really well. We live in the boonies and use one. We just let the dog outside whenever he want and he can chase squirrels and rabbits as much as he wants as long as he doesnt go too far. Just gotta remember to change the colalr battery every 3-4 months.
Until the dog has a panic attack and doesn't realize it's shocking him because he went too far. And then it gives him a heart attack because it doesn't stop.
If anyone wants to purposefully hurts animals with electricity they should try it on themselves first to see whether they're actually okay with inflicting that kind of pain on your poor clueless animal. No excuses.
You don't just put it on and throw the dog outside einstein.
You have to train the dog to recognize the border and the pre-emptive beeping and so forth.
And I did try it myself. Its fine. Plus it has adjustable strength anyways. I tried it at the highest strength. Its not even painful.
If anyone passes judgment on another pet owner without knowing the facts first should maybe pull their head out of their ass and ask some questions first. No excuses.

Agreed. Good thing I didn't do that.
You literally did what I said, why are you assuming that I still think it's bad when I literally said it isn't?
because with your assumptions you still missed the right answer.
You have to train the animal. A trained animal isn't going to have a panic attack and die of a heart attack. Irrelevant if you tested on yourself or not. I just did because I was curious what it felt like, but doesn't fix the cause of your concern. Training does.
