Wow- I never thought that anyone would still be interested in that, but I'm glad to see there are others who are.
Here's what I wrote about it when I made it. Hope this helps...

HOW TO: Make a remote shocker add-on for CB-XXXX series
My wife would never let me spend the money to buy a neosteel. CB-3k is pretty secure for me. But the electro-trainer add-on for neosteel is something that I (and many others) would love to play with, but price is an issue. Eros-tek looks cool, but between three and six hundred, not an option. You would still need to purchase separate leads.
So, I decided to modify a remote control dog training shock collar and make my own.
I looked all over the net through forums, hoping to find someone who had already made one. Several people had worn them as collars, but not one post about adapting them for the balls, or to attach to a CB-X.
What I wanted was something that would meet these requirements:
Could be worn with or without the CB-3k
Could be locked on, preventing removal
needed to be waterproof
needed a good range
easy install/removal
I wanted her to be able to lock it on me for days or weeks at a time, if needed, without me being able to remove it. I had read about other remote control items, mostly with a 10' range, and needed something more. Also, it needed to be waterproof, if I was going to shower with it. The strap I wanted to hold it needed to also be waterproof. I didn't want it to soak up water from the shower.
The unit I choose was the PetSafe Deluxe Little Dog Remote Trainer PDLDT-305

I purchased the unit from a local Wal-mart for around $100. The unit has an antenna hidden inside the collar, which pulls out easily. I searched for something to use for the strap. At first, I decided to use a cat collar, but I kept thinking about the water soaking issue, and choose not to use that. I ended up using a vacuum cleaner belt, made out of rubber. I cut the belt, and positioned the reciever in the center of the belt. I cut 2 holes for the electrodes, and attached them to the belt. I then cut 3 holes in each end of the belt to allow for attaching and adjustment. At this point, it was ready to go.
My wife unlocked me, and we attached the unit. We started with the lowest setting, and slowly moved up to the highest. Most of the time she stays at level 4 out of 5.5.
The unit has a 75 yard range, so walls are no problem. I can be outside, and she can zap me from in the house.
It was fun for a little while, but then she learned that pushing a button was all she needed to make me get her a drink. I can see the evil in her eyes...
I also posted some pictures
SHOCK1 is a pic of the collar disassembled
SHOCK2 is the replacement belt laying next to the collar
SHOCK3 is how the new belt attaches to the receiver
SHOCK4 is the new unit completely assembled
SHOCK5 is the unit attached to a curve through the guide pins
SHOCK6 alternate view
SHOCK7 is the unit attached to a curve through the main locking pin
SHOCK8 is the remote
I think there is a more comfortable way to attach the unit. I have been looking around for materials. Any suggestions would be great.
There is an on/off button on the unit. I thought of sealing it with super glue,but what if the button turns off, how would I turn it on again? There is a tone button on the remote, so if the wearer turned the receiver off, the the 'Remote Holder' would know when they did not hear the tone.
There are other devices out there that have no on/off button. One unit is powered on by holding the remote next to the receiver. I thought that would be nice, but did not want to spend another $100 for that feature. Besides, I read some bad reviews on the net about it.
Anyway, happy Buzzing!"
