Collar or no Collar?

I keep Daisy's collar off most of the time. The only time she wears it is when I take her somewhere or we go for a walk or something. She stays indoors usually, and when she does go in the backyard, she needs no collar anyways since our yard is fenced in. She is pretty good about not bolting out the front door, but if she does, she always hangs around the front yard and immediately darts in after I yell a "Daisy Mae, get your butt in here now!!!" Always works! She's a chubby hound who I highly doubt won't go far LOL

Jasper never wears his collar inside, or in the fenced area, he always wears it out though, like at the dog park and things, he's also microchipped but I still like him to have his tags on.

Piddle & Wiggles never wear collars.

the only time maximus collar comes off is for a shower, then we let him be "naked dog" for a day. he also has collar neck so if he's not wearing it , it looks like there is something missing. and of course he has several outfits to choose from.

Naked Dog! Ha, I love it! I call my dogs "naked dogs" all the time when their collars are off.

For this reason my dogs only wear a choke collar if needed for the begining stages of training and only if I am right there with them every second! If I have to leave their side, even for one minute it comes right off.

Me too. I never use a choke chain anymore, I use the MUCH more humane pinch or prong. NiÃ±o actually likes this collar, sometimes he tries to pull me on my rollerblades while wearing it.
