I am planning to keep their collars on at all times for identification ONLY. Yorkies should not use collars for walks-they should use harnesses, as there is risk of damaging and collapsing the trachea, especially in the yorkie breed.
I ended up ordering breakaway collars with ID tags on them from Boomerang. Breakaway collars will do just that if the dog gets hung up on something. They are usually intended for cats, but will work for dogs too.
