during the day because she was acting like a moron and fighting with our other dog. One day she got it caught on her crate and was stuck until I got her free. I would not leave anything on them if you aren't around.

when she first came home

i only collar when walking or in car - otherwise she is naked - glad im not the only one - dont know why i thought i would be

Hope everyone has a great day

because they can be a choking hazard in the house if they catch on something and you aren't right there to help them. My niece's dog jumped to put his feet on the kitchen counter and hung himself on a drawer knob. Luckily she was right there to save him. No collars in the house unless they are the break away kind, which you can get online.

In the car because if there was an accident and the dogs got out, I want someone to be able to catch them.


I don't rescue animals because I want to feel better about myself, or morally superior to anyone. The best part of my life with animals is the humility they teach and the humanity the foster.

our dogs only where collars when they go out, I worry too much about them catching a collar on something while I'm not home and quite frankly it can't be that comfortable for them either

But is in her birthday suit in the house...

Always in my heart...

nothing in the house for the gang...

Gus is the only one that wears a harness all the time..no matter what
I have to with him being deaf and needing to grab him in case of an emergency or something..

collars and harness only when off the prorperty....for safety and id....otherwise their naked...

if you didn't have some kind of collar on them?

Mine never have collars on, although I have collars for all of them. I have once in a great while put a collar on a young one in the camper because we had a serious accident with Ester when she was young.

I usually use a Mendota rope leash when I walk them but sometimes I will use a collar and a flexi-lead. Just depends on where we are at and if they are going out to potty, exercise or a quick walk.

We only put his collar on when we take him to camp or when we will be out during the summer--mainly in case he gets away we want some id on him--in addition to his chip
But during normal times--we only put his harness on when we are taking him out or for short walks

I think it's safer indoors if they do not have it on. There's a risk of it getting caught on something if it's on. =)

I only put her harness on her when she goes outside also. Never been a problem for us.

That said, if we are visiting somewhere or we have a house full of people, I generally put a collar on her just in case I need to grab her for some reason.

wearing her collar when we leave her alone at home. I just worry if there would be a storm anything she has her collar on with her name, her pet insurance and vacination tags.

on when we go to the pet food store or on a car trip. We wanna be legal

Buddy and Brother are chipped. Buddy does wear a nylon strap collar for the doggie door opener. I gotta do something there cause he has almost out grown it, and Brother has a remote collar too, but he follows Bud out the door as he only goes out with Bubby. They go for a walk in their car harnesses paired. I'd only do the collar thing for a picture.

mostly because I need to often grab Winston, he's going after someone, or the cat, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc
