Hopefully he doesn't as these are rightly now illegal

Assume/hope just a vibrating collar. Have seen them used to good effect by a woman who walks to giant pointers near me.

No - literally like a pager. Either vibrates or makes a ping sound. Just reminds your dog that they are supposed to be listening to you rather than haring off or whatever. Dog walker recommended to us.
No shocks involved.

We got Maxi's recall (lot like yours with greeting other dogs) sorted using a pager. Worth considering if you haven't already. The pager interrupts their thought process - must bomb over to other dog, jump up etc. - then they accept recall - then treat. Didn't take long and now I don't user the pager, really only a safety precaution.
