I recommend you call or ask someone you know what to do. If it were me i'd call the cops.

Unfortunately I dont think that the shock collars are illegal so there probably isnt much you can do about that, but if the dog is being beat then you should definately call the humane society on the owners, maybe even the police

i agree about trying to get the owner beating the dog on tape or recorded on something. sounds like the setting to the collar is set too high. call animal control, the ASPCA or humane society in your area. they should come out and do an inspection on the living and health conditions of the dog. shock collars aren't illegal themselves, but having it set at too high of a level is abusive.

You should be careful. It's possible that the collar is used as a training device. Many do not understand or agree with the use of these collars. Be if you truely have concerns call the local humane society and at least have them investigate. If this person is doing something inhumane then maybe hell revise his methods.

Call the ASPCA (American Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals) or your local police department: http://www.aspca.org/site/PageServer?pagename=cruelty_investigate_kentucky
Do not be afraid to call the police. They take this very seriously.
Also: Animal Care Society:

Louisville, KY 40245
(502) 426-6303
Good luck.

Well, talk to the owner. Barking collars are humane, as they are sold in many pet stores. However if you can approach the dog try to see if it slinks away or acts scared. If it does confront the owner. Then call animal control. They will take care of it from there!

call your local animal control.
i don`t think they can do anything about the barkcollar,but him beating the dog its cruelty and the animal control officers or investigators will take action.
do not confront the owner you on`t know what he is gonna do ,do the right thing make the call and let them do their job.
if you can record him while beating the dog the better show it to the investigators.

Call the authorities or have your aunt call. The authorities will take care of it although you may have to be kind of pushy about it.

I would definetly call the humane society or confront your neighbor about it, although maybe you shouldnt confront your neighbor because you dont want to put yourself in danger
