Jackson wears a collar for tag purposes and looks. He's pretty much always got it on.

When we go for walks, he's always wearing a harness. But usually for potty breaks, I
just attach his 28-ft retractable leash on his collar to let him outside to wander a bit.
He doesn't ever pull on that leash since it's so long and I just walk along with him. He
is also a bigger boy, at 14lbs, so his neck is a bit tougher than a 4lb Yorkie. I still
worry about it though so I prefer using a harness over a collar.
