Today, I let my dogs out, and then realized they didn't have their electric fence collars on. I ran inside to get the collars, then dashed out to put them on my dogs. I ran through the electric fence. The collars were on. FML

Today, my dogs broke through our electric fence, one of whom managed to get his collar off. I picked it up and, without thinking, went across the fence line. I screamed like a chihuahua being run over by a bulldozer. FML

Blackout

By stupiddrunk - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United Kingdom

Today, I woke up after a night out drinking on my sofa, with an electric dog collar around my neck, and handcuffs on my wrists. The keys were on the other side of the invisible doggy fence. FML

Today, I was leaning over a fence in a pasture to get a closer look at something. Nobody warned my nuts that it was an electric fence. FML

Do a backflip!

Today, I walked out into my backyard. As I did so, my dogs ran past me, slamming the sliding door off its track. I went to catch it, and knocked the bird cage over. To complete the fumble, as I turned to catch the bird cage, I stepped in a dog turd. I wasn't wearing shoes. We're all okay, but… FML

Today, our electric horse fence broke. I turned it off so I could fix it. As I was grabbing the fence, my brother thought it would be hilarious to turn the fence back on. FML

Today, I untied the rope that was tied to my dog's collar because it was wrapped around the tree choking him. He immediately ran off down the street. I had to chase him barefoot in my boxers for 20 minutes till he got tired. FML

Today, while letting horses out to switch pasture, one ran at me, sending me through the electric fence and into a mud puddle. Wrapped in electric fence, I sat in that electric mud puddle, screaming every time it shocked me. Help arrived, once they'd had a good long laugh. FML

Today, my dog chewed through his leash, so I had to take him inside to prevent him from running off. I went to bed. I woke up to torn-up blinds, half-ate sandals, and a very, very anxious cat due to my dog running after her and trying to sniff her butt. FML

Today, I was putting my horse away into her pasture, when I slipped in the mud. In a haisty attempt to support myself, I grabbed the electric fence in on hand, and my horse with the other. The shock from the fence traveled through me to her, sending her running and leaving me with 2 broken teeth. FML

Doggy dog world

Today, I was going for a relaxing walk but my dog broke free from his leash. At the same time, my 80 year-old neighbor was leaving her apartment. My dog ran inside her home and she screamed. I ended up in her bedroom, running around her bed, chasing my dog who was trying to get at her pantyhose. FML

well if they didn't have their collars they'd get lost and end up in a shelter or dead

My dogs have one, and before I even bought it I tried it. If I am putting it on my babies, I figure I should know what it feels like. The system does work and now most of the time it's not even on.

These collars dont even give a electric shock. They issues a low static show when the dog starts to move closer to the beginning of the barrier and slowly give a higher static shock when they come closer to the end of the barrier. OP could have just gotten these training tool and she forgot to put it on. These collars are great training tool and dogs have a higher threshold of pain then humans do. Not to mention a dogs neck is a lot thicker then humans. The collar can also help your dog walk off leash. When I pull out my collar for my dog she gets excited. Why? Because she can walk off leash! Use positive reinforcement when you use these collars and the dog will love them. Most of these ***** here shouldn't own a dog because they don't know dogs are different and have possibly tried a lot of different methods of training before using these collars. Get educated retards.

Why not use positive reinforcement instead of using the collars. And why are you so defensive about using them, resorting to calling people who disagree with you "retards", if there's nothing wrong with it?

There has to be a negative then followed by a positive in order to train a dog properly. If it's all positive then the dog won't learn from right and wrong. It's upsets me to see how under educated dog owners are when it comes to this type of thing.

Wow, some people put entirely to much thought into this. Its not animal cruelty, I have one & our dogs have only gotten shocked 2 or 3 times. After the 1st or 2nd time of being shocked they don't test it.

I'm calling bullshit. For him to have been shocked by the collars he would have had to hand around both pegs that deliver the shock. In collars I've seen they are in the shape of dull spikes connected to a heavy box. Naturally uncomfortable to grab and hold. Wait to go mods!

That's what you get for buying them for your dogs. I hate how people think certain things aren't unpleasant to animals just because they don't have the vocal chords to say so. I have a dog and I trained her well without those stupid collars. Try doing the same and spare the poor creatures.
