Mine don't. A few months after we got Toby, he got his collar caught on the door of his crate. We managed to untangle him pretty quickly, but he was terrified afterwards and wouldn't even go near his crate
Since then I've heard a lot of horror stories about dogs wearing collars indoors, including a friend of my Dads, who's dog got it's collar caught on the stair rail whilst it's owner was out, and hung itself struggling to get free
They only wear their collars when they go out, or when I'm in a situation where I think I'll need to grab hold of them (if someone comes to visit who doesn't like dogs, etc.)
The only thing that worries me is if they manage to get loose not wearing their tags, but the chance of that is pretty slim (they'd have to get through two doors and two sets of gates, and even then I doubt they'd go further than the end of the driveway without permission) and they're all microchipped, and all of my neighbours know who they are and who they belong to, so I'd rather take that risk
