Collars-my dogs no likey-I can see why a dog who is used to them and is used to a collar would maybe prefer them (for tags or general wearing-not walking)- again if your dog is getting out of a harness either you have a Houdini or your harness isn't on or fitted correctly. I put the ID tags on the harness (the metal ring where the leash attaches). I see why some people use a collar for the tags and walk with a harness but it seems that means they wear collar a lot and with long haired dogs a collar can be irritating. Some people swear by them though saying they are just like a necklace-but I'm still leery of them for irritation of skin and hair, choking hazards etc-I wonder the point of a break away one too, if it gets caught yes it breaks away they don't choke but don't they come off rather easily then too? My harnesses go on every time they out to potty in the back yard even, we walk, or whenever we go out the house. It comes down to whatever works for you-if I did use a collar I would be only using a break away one...and I'd really make sure it wasn't on for extended periods of time.
