Nebo hasn't had to wear a leash in the house since he was a pup. He's actually really well behaved in the house (it's when he gets outside he's the brat ) I do keep his collar on at all times. Sure he'd *look* better without it, but that's a risk I can't take. Siberian huskies are not known for their off-leash recall, and they are known to run...FAST...so if he did ever get out, I'd certainly want a collar and tags on him.
