I agree...what happened to Lou was scary stuff - Chili - that was a little harsh - she was sharing something that happened.
Lou - I'm sorry about what happened to your dog - what a close call
I personally don't use collars for many reasons
My girls are always with me - no way for them to 'escape' and if they did I'd beat Carl Lewis for the fastest runner in the world...so I don't have a collar and tags on them
I worry about collapsing trachea also - it's too common in small breeds.
They can tangle long hair very easily ....
but my main reason is safety - I work all day and would be afraid they'd get caught on something ....I've heard too many stories about dog collars getting caught on stuff even strangling dogs....also - dogs being hung
it happens
If I HAD to use a collar - I'd use a pull away
Mine pull too much on walks - plus I can pick them straight up off the ground in a harness if I have to - (and I have)
