Classical conditioning refers to pairing an unconditioned response with a conditioned stimulus. Like when Pavlov rang a bell (conditioned stimulus) to which his dogs would salivate (unconditioned response) because the bell preceeded feeding.
Operant conditioning is the other way around, where a behavior is changed through consequences. This is what you have set up. I do something bad and I get schocked.
The main point though, is that punishment is not the most effective way to change behavior, as said above.

The kind of background that makes a product a pun on classical (Pavlovian) conditioning but a product based on operant (BF Skinner) conditioning.
