Oh, my gosh! That's scary! I know I had a cat that got her own jaw stuck in her collar once and her hind foot stuck in it one other time! That was scary, too! I'm glad you were able to take care of the situation.

Collies&Cairns&Dogs,OhMY!
Yeh I've seen first hand with Murph, how easy it is for them to get a collar stuck on something. So mine don't wear collars around the house or backyard at all. The Collies are microchipped and none of the 3 try to run away from me, so I feel in my case that's the safer route. If I had a dog prone to running away though, I'd have a different take on it I'm sure.

The girls are chipped and not proned to run...so I'm really thinking of leaving the collars off.
I think Skye is just trying to be suicidal these days?!?!?! She somehow managed to get her head stuck in her crate door the other day...while I was still home...THANK GOD! I was able to free her in no time...but what if?!?! Between her tail, head, and now mouth, I'm wondering if I should go get her some counseling or something?!?!
Thanks for the replies so far everyone. Great points!!

Exactly the same thing happened to me several years ago with two of my previous poodles. I was in another room and heard Ashley (mini poodle) yelping and came running to find her hanging by her lower jaw from Whitney's (standard poodle) collar. It was easy to get Ashley's jaw out of the collar (after I stopped shaking!) as it wasn't twisted. After that incident neither wore collars 24/7. I shudder to think what would have happened if I hadn't been home.
Bella does not wear a collar in the house but Ripley does. I have three reasons for this. 1) Ripley was originally a stray when I got him and doesn't have a good recall other than in the house and the back yard. 2) Ripley is the one to initiate that type of play with her so he would be the one likely to latch onto a collar and 3) Bella is larger so if, God forbid, she did get into that situation she would not be hanging.
It is amazing the trouble that dogs can get into!
