No I am not a canine, but i'd assume, the jolt is lessened by the thick fur around a dogs neck.
NT recommend me a good shock collar for my dog

Shock is not the answer, especially when used intermittently by the untrained.
Go to a certified applied animal behaviorist. They'll know what to do. Yes they may use shock treatment but only in extreme circumstances. You don't want to shock them to correct their behavior because it will not give you the expected results.
You'll either find yourself with a zombie dog that won't do anything for fear of the shock or it may get used to the shock and act out worse than before. Then you're left with a whole heap of trouble and behavior that is paired with the wrong reinforcement.

RIP to the OP...dogs are one of NT's favorite topics.
p.s. despite what these other folk are saying, i know what you're talking about. my ex used one (sorry don't know the brand) for her mutt. it was the ONLY way to control the dog.

Whats wrong with shock collars? Seems like a great invention to discipline dogs. I guess some of you are not from cultures where children are spanked.
Spanking builds character.

whatever you get, make sure it's not a cheap one. A year ago I had a husky too (yes I had a fence but he could jump it) and I bought one of the cheap collars at petsmart and that thing didn't do ANYTHING.
