Most silly thing I've seen in a while.
Is it supported by CBT though? It could look silly only to me.
CBT? It's no accident the company that makes it is named Pavlok. The front page of its website says:
Bad dog! You will salivate!! X-D
I'm curious how effective it is. Getting beaten up can be a nice example: it's painful can last for a moment. That zap thing can be 1. Easily circumvented 2. Takes the Pavlov banner while not actually being 100% loyal to it. 3. Isn't actually much of a consequence.
Without any data I'll take a wild-ass guess that it is effective for some people, probably a fairly small number. Most wouldn't buy such a thing (for obvious reasons) and a great deal of those who do would discard it after the first few unpleasant experiences.
