I feel like they both have the potential to get caught on something, if left on the dog.

The whole purpose of me leaving a collar on Jackson while I'm gone is if he gets out when I am not home - I want him have an ID on. But I won't leave a harness on him when I leave because I feel like it'd be uncomfortable. He does get "naked" at night.
this is what I do and that's my thinking too. I also think that with Uni's longish hair, the harness has more area to mat her hair than a collar.

Once we had a very windy day, and I thought I closed the front door. A big gust of wind came and blew the door back open when I totally thought I had closed it all the way. If that gust of wind had come a few minutes later when I was long gone and didn't see it, the front door would have been wide open with the dogs inside and no one at home. Now I OCD check the door if it's locked, but this is a perfect example of why I leave collars on mine.
