recently my mom found a burn on my dogs neck where a petsafe brand bark control collar was and we believe it came from the collar. what i wanna know is whether it can cause burns overtime.
Shock Collars Most defiantly cause BURNS! There almost highly ilegal in australia-. Shock collars are cruel and inhumane.
There have been so many reported and published pictures used by these cruel divices nad numerous other problems that have occured with its use. Such as Aggression toward other animals, people etc.http://www.itsfortheanimals.com/RUFUS.HT…
Here are some photos of shock collars & burns associatedhttp://www.maryshouse.us/Pictures/Shock%…http://www.maryshouse.us/A_Word_about_Sh…http://ahimsadogtraining.com/blog/wp-con…http://ahimsadogtraining.com/blog/wp-con…http://ahimsadogtraining.com/blog/2008/0…

Shock Collars
Dogs wearing shock collars can suffer from physical pain and injury (ranging from burns to cardiac fibrillation) and psychological stress, including severe anxiety and displaced aggression. Individual animals vary in their temperaments and pain thresholds; a shock that seems mild to one dog may be severe to another. The anxiety and confusion caused by repeated shocks can lead to changes in the heart and respiration rate or gastrointestinal disorders. Electronic collars can also malfunction, either administering nonstop shocks or delivering no shocks at all.
What even sadder is they’ve developed shock collars for cats!
It could be but at the same time the dog could be making it rub on his neck and making the burn marks over time I haven’t had any problems with the bark collar except that my dog has became use to the static it produces but no burns or mark. It seems like the dog may be causing the burns
Hi
Anything that has an electric current has the potential to cause a burn.
Excessive rubbing could cause an abrasion, which might be mistaken for a burn.
Best of luck,

I would think that it might be a rash or friction blister rather than a burn. A any rate I would for sure discontinue using it and try training him to control his behavior.
