My neighbor put a shock collar on her dog.

That is extremely concerning as shock collars can be dangerous and cruel. Shock collars deliver an electric shock when the device is activated, which can be extremely distressing and painful for the dog. In extreme cases, this punishment can cause mental and/or physical trauma and it is always best to avoid any type of physical punishment when it comes to animal handling. You should talk to your neighbor about why they chose to use this method and explore possible alternatives that you both can agree upon.
