Exactly. No one is asking for any details. The initial post says "teaching job" and a salary of $130,000, which obviously didn't compute to many of us who know the sector.

Finding a property that will accept 'any' dog, let alone 3 x dogs will be depending on the landlords rules, in any property in any suburb.

I would suggest getting on www.realestate.com or www.reiwa.com and ringing as many rental agents as possible (within your price range) and ask the question. If the response from many is NO, then you may have to rethink your plans.

Good luck.

Also the OP should consider the "strata factor" as well if renting any kind of unit, etc. Although I presume anyone earning 130k won't be in a unit.

Waste of time IMO. No agents will say Yes or even maybe because having 3 dogs is against the law...it is a chicken and egg scenario...

Senior academics in universities get more than that.... And all they are doing is a bit of teaching innit.

It doesn't state "school"teaching


Not a very friendly welcome wagon is it

Having worked as a professional academic for many years, I would never describe it as a "teaching job", and neither would any of my colleagues. Certainly I agree with the statement about wages. I know a senior academic here in Australia earning over $500,000 per year. He wouldn't describe his career as a "teaching job" either.

PMSL that people can be so far up there own arses...

My Head of department, (I work for a large WA University), an eminent Professor... does "a bit of teaching" as he puts it.

Gawd love him, he is a darling!

Who was being unfriendly?

Zen10

I mean I would describe it as a research job, or lecturer. If you work in the sector then you would be familiar with those terms. You have an aggression problem, I think.

In edit, I do hope you're not faculty with spelling like that.

The poster who said that has a problem with me. It's personal and you shouldn't worry about it!

Ok then, I won't

I really feel for the OP, I wouldn't leave my dog behind either. What a terrible disappointment to have the chance of a great job and not be able to take it

I love catching buses in the UK, when someone gets on with their little dog. Unheard of here (Perth) unless it's a guide/assistance dog.

It's interesting because dogs are one of those things where there seems to be a real culture shock between UK and Aus. They are treated very differently here IMO.

No, I have a "sense of the ridiculous" problem... But would rather have that than paranoia

You're right Zen, they are and not for the better in my view. We've been to loads of small hotels in the UK where small pets are welcome, imagine rocking up to a hotel here with Fido in tow. They'd call out the SWAT team!

Oh definitely not for the better. Just last night for example, I was woken up at two in the morning by the dog that barks pretty much all year round over the back fence and that I am basically obliged to listen to by law. I have tested this with the council at length and they have admitted they have no power to stop it barking. The problem is that Australians leave their dogs outside all year long, night and day, so the barking issue is a problem. They also have pretty poor control over their dogs on the beach as well, which is another thing that annoys me. In a nutshell, I never had any real problems with dogs in the UK, but here I do and it's just a cultural difference I won't get used to. The way they look at you when you suggest they keep their dogs indoors is pretty funny too. It's like you've asked if you can take a **** on their coffee table, if you excuse the imagery.
