Fancy Dog Collars
my dog never ever EVER wears her collar and she is such a great dog. But she is lazy. No worries, she’s lazy cuz we feed her to much ppl food and she’s fat.
Small Dog Collars
I don’t think so. None of my dogs ever wear their collars inside.
Dog Harnesses
it doesn’t….. your dog makes associations based on behavior of you. A collar doesn’t mean anything……its behavior of you, and what you let the dog do……
Custom Dog Collars
no my dog sometimes we will go outside with no leash or collar to play.
Dog Harnesses
no it dose not.
Custom Dog Collars
NO………….I don’t think so.
Dog Collars And Leashes
If your using a collar and lead the help train her still, leave it on. It’s easier to grab a collar for control. Also if that is her only Id no chip or tattoo, I’d leave it on. It’s not hurting her and they get use to it much like people do a necklace or ring. If it’s creating a problem get her Id another way before leaving

It shouldnt matter at all. I take all 4 of my dogs collars off every now and then to clean the collars when they get dirty.They still act the same as if it was on.
Dog Collars And Leads
None of my dogs have ever worn their collars inside the house, and I don’t know of any dogs who do, either. I don’t see the point in it, and not wearing it certainly doesn’t make them see you as less dominant. That kind of reasoning makes very little sense. She’s not going to associate the collar with you being the leader, so it’s pointless.

I like to take their collars off when they are in the house and sometimes if play gets to ruff. That way they dont get caught on anything.
Wearing a collar doesnt have much to do with dominance so it wont matter to the dog. The dog will most likely appreciate the collar being off.

Unless it is a magic collar simply wearing it will not make your dog think you are in control.Its your attitude that makes you a pack leader.If you train your dog it does not matter what it has or does not have on it will listen to you.If you need the collar so you can make a quick grab to make a correction,by now your dog is aware your gonna grab it and dodge your action.If that is the case then you need a drag line on, inside the house.Tilks Mom
Custom Dog Collars
Wearing a collar is a safety issue. I have been doing dog rescue for years and one of the saddest situations in the world is when I find or come across a dog who has no collar or a collar without a tag. I know we are all soooo careful with our babies and want to believe our pets can’t get out, but unexpected things do happen. I urge you to put a collar and tag on your dog and keep it on at all times. If you don’t, at least get your pet microchipped. Many animal shelters and humane societies do this at a reduced cost. In some states, stray animals can be euthanized 24 hours after they’re picked up if they have no ID. P.S. If you live somewhere that experiences natural disasters, take a good photo of you and your pet together and email it to a friend who lives in another state. You can scan your pet’s vaccine papers and email them also. This is particularly important if your pet is not microchipped. I truly couldn’t sleep at night if any of my pets weren’t microchipped.

Makes no difference. My dogs only got their collars on before they went for walkies.
