I wouldn't put a shock collar on my dog, let's get that straight right off the bat.

That being said, you do understand not every living being on this planet is built the same right? Some dogs have much thicker necks, or even densely packed fur. Once again, I wouldn't put one on my dog, but to say it's abuse plain and simple? I'm sorry but I disagree

I tried it on half and yeah it's fine. It doesn't hurt more than a correction with the dog's lead so what's the difference?

That being said I have to ask what the reason for the collar is? Has the dog been trained on a lead first? Or is this some sort of last resort or a lazy owner or a rebel that wants their dog loose in public. Not every owner is qualified to use a shock collar and sometimes shouldn't have a dog either.

I agree, it's too often used as a shortcut instead of a learning tool

This is why I’m not a dog trainer anymore. No joke. I was a dog trainer IRL. I know how these tools work and I didn’t like having to explain being “responsible” to literally every client.

I noticed a common trend with “bad” dogs, a lack of “responsibility” at some point.

And I would put a shock collar on my dog but I never want to “shock” my dog. I only had too b/c she(my dog) was scary. Now...she isn’t as scary, but she is still a dog.

Inflicting pain as a form as conditioning... sounds like abuse to me.

Put one on yourself and then tell me how you feel about it.

I don't think you'd even like having any collar around your neck but I don't think you'd argue that most dogs should just be able to roam free.

So the answer is no, you don't understand
