Re-test with Pet Partners, Pet Partners® ? Touching lives through human?animal interactions - Pet Partners (formerly Delta Society). They don't require collars. Eddie has been a therapy dog for almost 5 years, and never once has he worn a collar on visits.

I think it's probably tied to the Canine Good Citizen test, which is part of the TDI requirements. AKC, which administers the CGC test, requires buckle collars to take that. I was told they could get an exemption, but it must include a letter from a vet saying the dog has a "severe" neck injury. Which I found ridiculous. He doesn't have a severe neck injury -- I'm trying to avoid that!
