I too was afraid of collars for the longest time but I am a recent collar convert. I use a cat breakaway collar on all three of them. My dogs have their collars on during the day (except if I'm not home). Their collars have their ID's on them with name and phone numbers. I always thought 'Why collar them? They are never outside without me". Well..little Miss Muffin is 3.5 pounds and her name should be 'Houdini' because she's an escape artist. Even though we have a fenced in yard, she will find the smallest opening and work her way under it or through it. We have reinforced EVERY SQUARE INCH of the fence to make sure there are no areas of escape but you just never know if a rabbit or other animal will start digging underneath and make a way for CoCo to get out. I just feel better if collar are on JUST IN CASE! Yorkies are small and FAST and you just never know with these guys. They could be gone in an instant even though we watch them with hawk eyes.

I took the 'D' rings and the bells off of the collars because the sound of three jingle bells was driving us crazy and I don't need the 'D' ring because their leashes attach to a harness when they are walked.
