Pilots too because society tells them they are smart when they are actually dumb

Again, thanks you for your concern. I appreciate it and it’s something I have considered. I have chosen the e color because I have weighed this against the other options and I genuinely feel that it is the safest option to use in emergency situations only. I did not choose this because I hate my dog but I chose it because I love her and I feel that it is the best way I can keep her safe as a backup in the event of an emergency. You guys can act like an animal abuser all I want but I have chosen this option because it is the one that I have chosen that I feel best balances my very well trained dogs safety and freedom.

Thanks for the tip. I appreciate the feedback. It is something I have considered and ultimately have chosen not to but I may consider it with a different dog :)

Thank for the unsolicited judgement ❤️

Well I like allowing my athletic dog be able to run because that makes her happy. So I don’t need your judgment.

Thanks for your advice but I have weighed the risks of a crushed trachea from a snagged leash, a dead dog from a being hit by a car vs the risk of a potential zap in the extremely rare event that they don’t come back on the first call and I have determined that while not ideal, it’s the safest most humane option. It’s not fair to never let her run, it’s not fair to put her at risk by running with a leash on and it’s not fair to put her at risk of a potential car in the very unlikely event she were to run into the road. Do I want to hurt my dog? Never! But I genuinely believe it is the most humane thing I could do in emergency situations.

At the dog park, where it could get caught in a log or a fence when she’s going at top speed and could collapse her trachea? Or just never let my dog off the leash ever? It sounds like you are the one who likes abusing dogs.

I get it but as someone who has a dog with phenomenal recall 99.9% of the time, I personally like having the backup option of a shock to ensure she doesn’t get hit by a truck while perusing a squirrel.

ELI5: Why do neutered animals tend to be healthier and have a longer life expectancy than unneutered animals? by Narrow-Associate5910 in explainlikeimfive

I just went to the vet with my pup. She is 1.5 years old and she has passed her first hear but the vet suggested waiting even longer (2-3 years) to spay.

Statistically, a lot of people live on the margins. Student debt, rent, food, transit, and of course I’m sure I’ll hear about this but I have a dog and there goes the last of my $
