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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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
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
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
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

maybe their neighbor has 40 bunnies running loose and the entire fence line is a bunch of bunny holes the dog runs through.. and the owner is keeping them safely in their yard because of the 2 lg. dogs next door.. just saying.. and shock collars train the dog, my dog never gets zapped and has almost 2 acres of free roaming, safe area.

There are too many fights on this page. It's a simple YDI for being stupid, and running into the electric fence. There's no karma or animal abuse involved here. OP made a dumb mistake and got hurt for it. Can't we just agree with that and move on with our lives?

while it's true that some of these dont give more than a startling jolt that doesn't hurt the dog anymore than a small static shock hurts a person, sometimes they can malfunction, and some are made to actually shock. i dont agree with the latter. i have owned dogs for about 15 years (i'm 20), and i've never had trouble training my dogs. i give them treats for good behavior and when they listen to a command (sit, for example) until they do it on their own. if they do something wrong, i point at them and say "No" in a very firm voice. if they, say, growl at someone or if i catch them in the act of using the bathroom on the floor, i swat them on the nose or butt (like you would swat the hand or rear of a child) and tell them "No." but you should never punish a dog for something that it's done, not something that it's doing. It will get confused and think whatever it had been doing when you punished it was what it did wrong. Most don't understand we're punishing them for something they did five minutes ago. all in all, OP, if it hurt that bad, don't use it on your dog. if you wouldn't use it on yourself, then don't use it on your dog. to an extent. not sure i'd put frontline on myself :P

YDI. If it was so bad that you feel it's an FML, then imagine what it must be like for the poor dogs. If you're going to have dogs, make sure you've got a proper enclosed yard and non-abusive training methods.
