A 9 volt battery only puts out relatively 500mAh (Source: http://www.batterysavers.com/Compare-Batteries.html). It would take 300-500mAH applied directly to the chest cavity to stop your heart (Source: http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2000/JackHsu.shtml). I've held over 2Ah in my hands with nough force to tickle, but it didn't kill me. Basically, if you have no heart conditions, I wouldn't concern myself too much because the dog collar isn't making direct contact with your heart or chest, and the collar itself tends to insulate you from getting the full effect of the shock. I stick 9 volt batteries to my tongue all the time and have no issues.
