I wouldn't do the collar. If she came from a situation where she was a stray she esintually is like a puppy and all this is new to her. If took my puppies till almost a year before they stopped getting things and putting them in their mouth. Give it time and just keep working on it. A collar would be negative reinforcement training and it's just not as effective. My rescue Penny is almost seeming younger then she really is because apparently she was never exposed to anything so it's taking a lot of patients. The thing about bones is when they last a long time they are generally going to be hard and potiemtually break teeth. Antlers and bully sticks were two things my vet dentist specified as to hard and could break teeth. One inssue with hard stuff also is it can leave microscopic groves in the teeth and that allowed more bacteria to grow in the groves. All of mine love the edible and non edible Nylabones. My girl has broken a tooth on a bully stick and it cost me around $600 for an emergency extraction. That is why I stay away from hard bones.
