You will hear many opinions on the collar on/collar off situation. I now always keep a flat, buckle collar on all my dogs with their tag ID's. In past years, twice I had dogs escape the fenced yard and neither time did the dog have on any ID although all had been tatooed (before microchips

Hi Lisa-Jayne I think it is better to use the collar only when you got out. Too many things can happen if you leave a collar on when you are not around to supervise. One of our dogs got it's lower jaw caught in another dog's collar and almost killed her. Luckily we were home and
