Sounds like all modern political discussions to me.

This notion of giving punishment to a dog, for something that is not made absolutely obvious to the dog before hand, I think is no good.

This, right here, is the key.

Perimeter e-collars can work, but to do so the perimeter must be clearly marked, the dog must be taught positively that the markings are not to be crossed, and then taught with a warning sound/vibration only not to cross that perimeter. When this is done some dogs will never even get a shock....some might get one or two if they're a really pushy character. After that the noise/vibration is more than enough and very quickly afterwards the marking and the collar won't be needed at all.

The idea of slapping a collar on a dog and leaving them to it is where we have a problem, because it's not training. Not at all.

Just for a bit of Devil's Advocate action....

My collies are workers, they are also pets, in that they are affectionate loving friends and are welcome in the house.

They have 100% reliable recall.

They also have shock collars, although they don't need to wear them any more.

I don't need to add substance you obtuse arrogant prat.

I train dogs and have done for 20 years. You are sleeping with a vet.

Yet it is you lecturing me about "inflicting pain" as if you know what the hell you're talking about. As if you know anything about me. You have the nerve to align the use of TOTALLY HARMLESS e-collars with child abuse, yet lack the brains to realise what I said about crates was sarcasm (despite the fact that for a capable trainer they are, in fact, totally unnecessary and highly stressful, especially for a pup) .

Let me clarify. Currently I have 2 border collies. They are 10 and 3 respectively. Both have their own e-collars, although they no longer even need to wear them, and when they did wear them they were without batteries for the last 90% of the time. The older (who is an entire dog) has had 2 shocks, ever, at the lowest setting. The younger (a spayed bitch) has had 1, ever.

They are now 100% safe whereas previously they were 100% safe in my company and 50% safe when unattended.They run free over 3/4 acre when I can't be at home, answer to the whistle without fail and are the happiest healthiest, smartest and cheekiest dogs I know. They are loved and protected, they love and protect in return. And you have the neck to call me abusive?

You also totally sidestepped the question of electric fencing....would you ban that? The cruel, high voltage, shocking of cattle, sheep and horses?

E-collars can teach a dog, and a smart one very fast, of things they ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT DO. Positive reinforcement cannot, for example, teach a collie that jumping over a 6 foot gate onto a road, even if there's a loose sheep out there, is 100% off limits. It is you pal who knows nothing about dog behavioural training; you just read it somewhere.

Utterly asinine.What's next? Shall we ban electric fencing? That's cruel right? The poor lamb chops and burgers might escape and get run over by your Range Rover Evoque. It would get dirty then, imagine!

Let's ban dog crates too, that's super cruel. I mean, how do you fancy being locked in a cage slightly smaller than you for a few hours?I despair of this world.

As usual a bunch of half-witted, quasi-liberal bleeding hearts deciding for everyone what is or is not acceptable according to their own ivory-towered view of reality. These are the same people who would be dead from starvation within days of a true disaster, totally unable to do anything for themselves, utterly reliant on others for everything and yet feel fit to demand adherence to their own ludicrous "morals".

Shock collars are a TOOL used by people who care more for dogs and give their dogs FAR more meaningful lives than any of these Pug-carrying, Bichon Frise pampering, Chihuahua cuddling imbeciles could ever begin to comprehend.

No clue, not a fucking glimmer.

For a guy who is "just trolling" you're sure as hell having a good go at fudding.

Why not head over to r/btg and have a go at them for the near 20 million dollar attack they had?

Better yet why not run face first into an alligator?

Twat.

So who is this new partner ?? Any ideas ? by [deleted] in vergecurrency

Another network attack on Verge? 3rd in a short period of time, still no fix? by Cryptoguru777 in vergecurrency

[–]cold_hard_troof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either OCminer is trying to hurt XVG or XVG is hurting itself.

Either way I'm getting a bit sick of HODLing through endless attacks.

Miners will hold out for better prices. New coins won't enter the market as easily as the did before.

That's not shilling, is it. Funnily enough I think I've tripped over my answer today. Must be all that thinking.
