i always take my dogs collars off in the house.
Anna, it sounds to me like Roxey is trying to "lose" Bon!! She's probably thinking, "If I can just get this collar off him and chase him toward the fence, maybe he'll get out and I won't have to compete with him anymore....darn cute puppy!! ;) :p
Timber's collar is on all the time. She's never had any problems with it, but she does like it better off -- I think it starts to irritate her nexk after a while. I think that it's better for her to have her collar on 24/7 because my aunt keeps her outside most of the time (Timber doesn't like being inside -- I think she gets clostrophobic or something).
When I get my catahoula, he'll only have his collar on when we go out. I'd be worried that he would somehow get away. ID on a collar is so simple that anyone could pick him up and just bring him to me. Of course he will be chipped and tattooed as well, incase he slips out of his collar or he gets out of my house.
Collars on both the kitty (an inside-only cat) and the pup, 24/7.
Blaze's collar stays on 24/7!;)
I keep Daisy's collar off most of the time. The only time she wears it is when I take her somewhere or we go for a walk or something. She stays indoors usually, and when she does go in the backyard, she needs no collar anyways since our yard is fenced in. She is pretty good about not bolting out the front door, but if she does, she always hangs around the front yard and immediately darts in after I yell a "Daisy Mae, get your butt in here now!!!" Always works! She's a chubby hound who I highly doubt won't go far LOL
Jasper never wears his collar inside, or in the fenced area, he always wears it out though, like at the dog park and things, he's also microchipped but I still like him to have his tags on.
Piddle & Wiggles never wear collars.
the only time maximus collar comes off is for a shower, then we let him be "naked dog" for a day. he also has collar neck so if he's not wearing it , it looks like there is something missing. and of course he has several outfits to choose from.
Naked Dog! Ha, I love it! I call my dogs "naked dogs" all the time when their collars are off.Quote:

Me too. I never use a choke chain anymore, I use the MUCH more humane pinch or prong. Niño actually likes this collar, sometimes he tries to pull me on my rollerblades while wearing it.Quote:

For this reason my dogs only wear a choke collar if needed for the begining stages of training and only if I am right there with them every second! If I have to leave their side, even for one minute it comes right off.
