    No i am afraid they will somehow get it caught on something when i am not around and they will choke, i always supervise when they wear collars, especially outside.

    Ripley does because if givin the chance he will be off lol Perky does, well I am not sure why she does exactly she just always has. Blair does now its usfull for grabbing him if need be lol before his haircut though he did not because you could not find his collar under all that hair anyway. Happy almost never wears a collar, although she is currently wearing a gold chain, not a slip collar but just a gold link chain as a collar, and just because its pretty lol Misty sometimes she does and sometimes she does'nt but she normally does, so we can grab her collar if she is being a grumpy puss lol when we had shadow she always wore a collar exept when she took it off herself lol, now she still always wears her collar, but she recently got a new one that she cant get off.

    No, I'm terrified that they'll get caught on something and kill themselves.

    Years ago I had two other dogs (also a standard poodle and mini poodle just as I have now). One evening my mini started yelping in the other room. As I ran in there I saw her hanging by her jaw on my standard's collar. In playing, as they always did, somehow she just got caught on it and couldn't get off and I am so glad I was home!!! I untangled her jaw and immediately took both collars off both dogs and was shaking so bad that I remember it to this day.

    Nowadays Bella does not wear a collar in the house. I do put Ripley's on him every morning (I can't stand the jangling of his tags while I sleep ). The reason is that this little stinker has run off before and most likely even ran off from his previous owners as he was brought into the shelter as a stray. Since he is the smaller of the two I can't imagine Bella getting tangled up in his collar, being the larger dog. I am just always afraid that he might decide to take a walk right out the front door when someone comes in so I don't feel comfortable with him not wearing his collar. I just keep my fingers crossed when I'm not around.

    Sometimes they have the collars on, sometimes they run naked and free in the house. When they are nakey, they usually know it and they frolick around like they're old men at a nudist colony, gleefully streaking me without abandon.

    My crew don't wear collars in the house and we have a fenced in back yard so they don't have them on outside either.

    Only time my crew has collars on is if were going some where.

    Lady always has a collar on, and would get nervous otherwise. After all, when dad takes her collar off it's time for one of those "Bath" things.

    Mine wear what we call pajama collars. They're a nylon break away collar. It holds their tags and has their name and phone stitched on it. When we go out they wear their martingales with it.

    Yes they always wear collars. I don't leave them all alone together to play or anything while I'm gone....I worry about the collars getting stuck, but I also worry what could happen if Nebo got out w/o a collar. He is trained to not go in the room where the front door is but he still has managed to bolt out a couple of times. I think I need to get one of those pouches to put the tags in.

    Yes, our wear them in the house. They are very good about running out the front door (not so good at the back, but the yard is fenced and they are pretty good about staying in the yard even if the gates are open) and they are all microchipped. Regardless, they all wear their collars all the time.

    Nope, Samantha doesn't wear hers unless we're going somewhere since I don't want her getting stuck on anything and our backyard is fenced. When she's at my parents though, she has to have one on because she is only let out on a tie-out.

    Collars only come off at our house at bath time on the 3 Goldens. Murphy (older Lab) does not wear a collar unless she's going to the vet and needs to be leashed. She has a cyst on her neck that has not caused any problems since we removed her collar. But Murphy is not going to "run" anywhere, and rarely goes outdoors.

    Not often, at the moment Elvis has his collar on so i can get a hold of him if decides to be nawtee . But the other 3 rarely wear them, i too am parnoid about them getting tangled up or caught on something.
