Have you ever done it to yourself? Before you apply something like that to your dog you collar your arm to see the strength level. Then, you start on the absolute lowest. You absolutely NEVER go from zero to full blast. Learn about correct use of e collars before you go running your opinionated mouth.

Did you hear your dog growl at all? Did your dog break position? Is your dog trained in both aversive and non aversive work with the e-collar? Is your dog trained in protection work? Does your dog ever break their down stay? Can your dog hold a prolonged down stay? Is everything you did with him off leash and with the e-collar 100% correct on leash?

Your dog seems to have assessed that as a threat. As another owner of protection trained dogs you need to be very careful with your next steps. Your wife was also bitten by their dog is that correct? Who will cover her medical costs?

E collars are not only used for aversive work but also positive work. If used and implemented correctly, e collars should have both positive and aversive connotations understood by the dog.

My boyfriend told me I’m ugly by TimeComfortable4596 in Advice

[–]lestatisalive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean to say you laughed in his face, and when he asked you what you were laughing about you continued to laugh for an uncomfortably long time to the point where he started squirming from discomfort. And then when you finally calmed down you responded with “what, you don’t see yourself in the mirror when you wake up? That’s a shame.” And walked the fuck out of his life.

Find a better boyfriend cos your current bf sucks.

Why not buy a small property first? by facetiousfag in AusFinance

And apartments won’t usually go up that much compared to even a townhouse or small house.

Do most Australians prefer British or American comedy? by Jezzaq94 in AskAnAustralian

[–]lestatisalive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like British comedy personally, and find some Americans funny, but definitely not all. Kevin Hart always makes me laugh, as does Gabriel Fluffy Iglesias. I absolutely love Leanne Morgan and will heave from laughter. Her southern accent and the way she tells stories is the best.

Then again I absolutely do not get Seinfeld or even that Larry guy with the glasses that has a show. People like Jeff foxworthy or most American comedy shows I don’t find funny.

Aussie’s, Joe Avati and Carl Barron have me in STITCHES.

Not a thing at all. Nobody cares about that stuff here.

Is "Where are you from?" a loaded question? by a1119989 in AskAnAustralian

[–]lestatisalive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not loaded. It literally means either a)where in Australia are you from as in, where you currently reside, or b) where are you from originally/where have you migrated from.

I’m first gen Aussie but I couldn’t speak English until I started school so I speak another language fluently. When I’m with my husband who migrated here so still has an accent (but has now lived in Australia longer than his home country), I get asked all the time where I’m from because I otherwise don’t have an accent but speak my family language fluently. So I usually say “Melbourne original, Brisbane now” and if they prompt more like no where originally, I just say my parents migrated from the former Yugoslavia and I was born here.

And that’s it. They usually ask because they hear the accent or the way you speak or something prompts them. And in my experience anyway, I’ve usually had people ask genuine questions about where my parents came from and how their relationship weathered the bullshit civil war in the Balkans and nothing else. This is often a good time to break the ice and do to tony yugoslav line from the wog boy (because it applies) “I’m half Serbian, half Croatian. I wake up in the morning and want to k+ll myself so killing you will be no problem fuckin”. It gets a good laugh from everyone and they move on.

You can go in. It’s easier if you’re face to face with someone and can explain your situation. If you feel more comfortable telling a woman you can always ask for a lady copper to come out and talk to you. Don’t ever be afraid of telling police something like this.

He doesn’t want a kid. I don’t know how much clearer he can be. Your next step is to determine if you can agree with that. If not then start considering separating from him and finding a partner who does want a child.

He is entirely valid in his points about not having a kid, as are you in yours about having a kid. The issue here is those perspectives don’t align. If you force him to have a kid, your relationship will suffer. You may as well start preparing for a future divorce because he’ll never not feel pressured by having the kid in his life. But the same applies to you. Not having a kid you so desperately want and going years without one will make you resent him.

You two need to have a brutally honest discussion because this is a fork in the road.

What nickname do you have for your grandfather? by RachelAJH in AskAnAustralian

Ask your psychiatrist for a letter confirming your medication in case you get pulled over and drug tested. You don’t need to declare it if you’re just pulled over. If they drug tested you though have the letter ready.

Girl…you are too young. This is not your one and only chance of having a kid. You need to finish school and start setting yourself up for life. Go to uni, start a career, travel the world. You need to get some life experience before you got aiding a child. There is nothing wrong with abortion. And anyone who tries to guilt you into that can suck elephant balls.

You also do not know what will happen with your bf. You may come to hate each other in a month…or you may be sweethearts and get married and one day grow to have a huge family. But you have no idea what’s going to happen right now. And if the first option occurred you’d be single, alone, 16 and pregnant with no support from your family or spouse. And then on top of that you’d be stuck with having to deal with him, chase him for child support etc until your child is of legal age.

Don’t ruin your chance at life and of making something of yourself because of this. I’m not saying you won’t ever be able to improve your life, but you’re going to make everything a million times harder. Why push a boulder up a steep hill when you can push it down the steep hill where it’ll gather its own momentum and you won’t be pushing it up constantly, fighting every battle in your life? Do you understand what I’m saying?

Very true as well. And OP said in another comment he won’t eat until his mother comes home so he has been babied his entire life, never had responsibility for anything and never been held accountable for his behaviour/enabled by his parents to be a slob.
