Does your dog have his collar on at all times?

LOL, I love how the responses to this thread are in a yes/no pattern. So to continue the pattern...Nope, my pups do not wear their collars. I don't necessarily fear their collars catching on anything. I just hate how the collar shortens the length of fur around their necks and Giselle, in particular, is sensitive around that area. Plus, I kind of like the look of a nekkid dog

YES, he has to. (continuing the pattern!)
He has a habit of bolting out the door nad he's quite the escape artist. He's actually gotten out a few times for about a whole day because he runs, then gets stuck behind fences and can't make his way home. He also has a microchip.
On the otherhand, it does irritate his skin and pulls out his undercoat sometimes. We've tried just about every type of collar there is. I want to get a thick (2") cheap nylon collar from petsmart to see if that is better on him and if it is get him a custom Block Dog collar.
I take it off a lot at night when we're playing or resting and in for the night.

I never used to up until last year sometime but now they always wear them (except for Winston...he's allergic to nylon so he can only where it when we're out) unless they're crated. I don't fear them getting stuck in the heat register as we don't have any right on the floor for them to get to and they are not allowed to play unsupervised, whenever they want to.

My dogs only have theirs on when they're outside (in the yard, on car rides, on walks) since they're supervised 100% of the time. Like lv4dogs, I'm too worried about the collars getting caught on something or each other if they're playing, so it's never on inside the house. Even though they're microchipped, they could be returned to me a lot quicker and a lot easier if they have their collars on. Plus, I'm worried about somebody thinking they don't have a home and taking them in without bothering to check for a microchip.
