Take your dogs collar off everytime they come in? meaning when your not working with them, walking them etc. I 'm very curious to see what the response will be to this question.

My dogs always wear some sort of collar. Jazzy wears hers for the e-fence and Riley keeps his no slip collar on. He's allergic to the metal on the prongs or whatever they are on the e-fence collar so I always make sure he has something on.

I've found too many dogs on the streets with no collars that could have easily been returned to their owners if they did. So mine always have ID on them, besides the microchips.

Mine are micro-chipped and generally go directly to our fenced yard and fields from the house. 80% of my dogs don't have collars. Even the ones that go with us in the car don't have collars on, because they stay by our sides or I take a leash that I carry in the car at all times, and loop it around as a collar if there is a need (like giong in to the vet or a pet suppy store).

Of course I just carry Ginger where ever I go, and I just got a little tote bag to carry her in for Christmas. So, no my dogs barely wear collars.

I always take the dogs collers off when there inside. I even take lukes coller off when I let him loose. And misha never wears a coller.
It just damages thier fur.
I hardly ever use a coller unless we go for a power walk.

I have to say about 50/50. Anytime he is outside, he has it on. Usually indoors, I take it off. Without a microchip, I think I would have to glue that collar on my dog.

I never have collars on in the house or our fenced yard. They've never gotten out and if they did they are all microchiped. I put them on just when we go out and the deaf girls also wear vibrating collars when we go to the dog park to get their attention when needed.

When my boy's outside or alone, he has his collar, with his ID tag (even though he's tatooed), on.

It's on when he's outside because: Although he's seldom off leash, my thinking is that if he did take off, having something to grab on to makes him easier to catch.

It's on when he's alone because: If he does escape his indoor/outdoor kennel, I think it's easier for the person who finds him to check a tag, rather than look for a tattoo and spend time figuring out what it means, so I'd get him back sooner.

I don't, generally, keep his collar on him when he's in the house, because the collar does leave an impression on his fur that would probably become permanent if I kept a collar on him all the time.

The reason I asked is because, on another forum I had answered a question for someone, and merely said that I have always had collars on my dogs even when they were puppies, I had answered a couple other questions, and someone else stated:
{The one point I strongly disagree with in this thread is leaving collars on when the puppy is not being supervised. Collars are death waiting to happen on an unsupervised dog, IMO. My dogs wear collars when I am working them ONLY, and at no other time.} I just thought it was a rude way to say it, seeing as how I never told the OP to leave the collar on, and never said that my dogs were unattended as puppies with collars. Maybe I'm just to sensitive right now hehe.

that WAS rude. What if the dog got out into the street and got lost? I don't have the collar on mine all the time but I sure do keep and eye on him whether he does/doesn't have it on

Some of our dogs wear collars 24/7 except when crated
Some of our dogs very seldom wear collars it affects their hair line and they can be penalized for this in dog shows.

Our dogs are all chipped.

my dogs wear their collars all the time, starting at about 4 months old, of course their fur is not affected because their necks are shaved.

Bowen wears his collar 100% of the time.

Riddick wears his when we take him outside, and only at that time, because if he wore one all the time itd mess up the hair around his neck and affect his appearance in dog shows.

I take Beulah's collar off every night for her to sleep.
then, she hangs out in the morning with it off until we go somewhere. Then, it usually stays on for the rest of the day until bed.

I just think I can't sleep in my socks, so she shouldn't have to sleep in her collar! ;)
