Wow, you hear about freak collar accidents and believe them on one level but it's not the same UNTIL it happens to you! Ruby was sniffing around in a flower bed and it seemed like she had been there awhile so I started to walk over to check her out. As I was almost there, she lifts here head up really slowly and is carrying this 13 lb stupid yard ornament by the tag on her collar! She didn't panic or anything but I was in shock at the potential of this if she were ever left unattended outside (which we never do)!..... She's in a martingale, too, (another lesson I've read about) with a bone-shapped tag that just fit perfectly into the little chimney hole.
She has also gotten her foot stuck in a trapezoidal caribeaner that was attached to her collar on a front yard tieout!! |

Yikes!
Growing up, my parents used choke chain collars on their golden and husky. One day my stepdad heard a huge commotion outside and the 2 dogs had gotten entangled on the choke collars and they were strangling each other to death. All the neighbors came rushing into our fence trying to get them untangled as they were literally choking to death. A neighbor came over with wire cutters just in the nick of time. |

I'm too chicken to keep their collars off in their crate just in case a natural disaster happens and they wind up with no identification on them. Whose phsycho?

My dogs hardly ever have collars on...Lucy had a regular collar on in the back yard and jumped just high enough to get it caught on our 4ft chainlink fence. I ran out into the snow barefoot and in shorts and a t-shirt without thinking when I saw her hanging. Now I watch them like hawks ALL the time and even bungie cord the kennel shut when I'm not home because once she got one latch undone and got her head stuck in the door. |

Lily never wears her collar inside. We had a case at the vet where this dog's owner left, and when the dog got anxious because her owner left she started jumping at the door. Her collar got stuck in the door and her owner found her hung to death when she came home.
Lily wears her collar when she's outside and supervised, and will be getting microchipped when she gets spayed (because microchipping is SO much easier when they're passed out). |

We were having a campfire once in our fenced in back yard and a APBT mix and Mastiff/Lab mix were happily playing together. Both had pronged collars on and they got tangled which triggered a fight. Nothing very serious but lots of barking and commotion without either getting a grip. We learned out lesson...
