♥ Keeping collars on inside house ♥ Does anybody keep their Yorkie's collars on when they are resting/in the house? I always take my baby's off in the house - she's very responsive and wouldn't do anything as to why I would need the collar on in the house. And it's probably more confortable for her (not mentioning that I don't want her diamonds to drop out of it lol) :confused: xXx |
I don't keep Tobie's on either, he likes to chew on the his name tag, so its just easier if I take it off of him when we are inside. |
I keep Brownie on Simply Because he goes outside to much & it would be constant on & off. |
I dont put collars on mine at all. Ive got a couple cute ones but I worry they will get caught on something. Also my front and back yard is fenced so I dont worry about mine getting out of the yard |
Mine don't wear collars Donna Bird Brooklynn's Yorkshire Terriers |
Missy doesn't own a collar. As far as her harness, she only wears it when I want to use a leash. |
I actually have not even placed a collar on Suzi. She has several harnessess. I use one when go outside and to places. :aimeeyork |
What if your yorkie runs out of the house? Bella always wears a cheap collar, and when she goes places I put her swarskowsi (or however you spell it) collar on:) |
I only put collars on hen Iam in with them , we use puppia harnesses but also put collars on for tags etc but in the house nothing Iam so worried they might get caught on something :animal-pa |
All mine wear collars with a brass heart engraved with their names and my telephone number. My property has a masonry wall all the way around it, and a walled courtyard with dog-proof gates set into the arches out front. No matter how you approach my house, you have to go through at least two gates or doors to reach the outside...and still, my Maltese have managed to get out twice in the four years I have lived here! And those brass tags are how I got them back. When Puddin' is big enough to have free roam of the house, she will also wear a collar and tags (she had a cat collar with a bell right now so we can keep track of her). It is just too easy for them to do something unexpected and end up out there! |
Both of mine wear collars all the time. They go in and out all day long so it isn't convenient to take them off when they come back inside. Our contact number is on their tags just in case they were to escape from the backyard. |

I keep Callies on all the time expect bathtime and when its drying from me washing it. She has a doggy door so she goes outside a lot and is something where to happen like the gate someone came open I would want her to have her tags on if she got out plus she used to run out the front door and if for some reason she got out of sight or lost I would want her tags on her plus I can here wear she is with the jingle of the tags and it lets me know when shes coming or if shes getting into trouble lol. |
I put Zoeybear's and Callie's back on today. I read the thread where Yoshi has gone missing with no collar. Both mine are microchipped, but that could take time. Both mine have id tags that say ("Im lost call mommy" + my phone number) No one ever thinks their dog will get lost, but what if... I only buy break away collars in case they get hung up. These are usually sold as Kitten collars. |
1 Attachment(s) Dolly wears a necklace (her name engraved on the front of the heart and my phone # engraved on the back) instead around the house. I got it for her at things remembered (length of human bracelet works perfect for her tiny neck). its very lightweight and sturdy(made of silver, easy to clean), definitely break away as well. although I highly doubt the chance of her taking off on her own, she's even afraid to go downstairs by herself:D but you never know, in case of a hurricane or something, better to be safe than sorry:rolleyes: |
I always take Fiona's collar off while she is in her crate, and if she is just relaxing with me inside, sometimes I'll take it off, sometimes I'll leave it on. I never leave her harness on either. :cool: |
no collars are worn here, Just a harness is worn when we go on walks only! :D |

I'm comfortable with Missy not wearing an ID collar because there is no way for her to run out of the house. She stays on the top floor of my house only. She has no reason to go in the basement. My back door has a deck with a locked gate, and she'd have to jump over a baby gate and go down a long set of stairs to get out the front door. I've got 3 young skin kids too, so I have to keep everything safe. :) Missy will be getting microchipped with her spay in a few weeks. I don't think it's necessary for her to have a collar. When I take her out she wears her harness and leash, and I carry her down the stairs and out the front door. If things change and I felt she should wear ID all of the time, I'd just use her harness. It's a silk harness that I bought from Chattiesmom, she doesn't even notice when she's wearing it. |
riley used to wear his collar but i dont want madison to chew on it so i'm gonna put it back on him when shes over that stage. she'll have one too. i don't use the collar with their leashes though, they both use step in harnesses with the leashes. |
I do both During the day when I'm at work and the dogs are indoors the collars are off, so they can be comfortable. But when I'm home and they are going in and out often I do leave them on. I would like to warn everyone that in the small town I live in (less then 12,000) there was recently a Yorkie puppy stolen right out of a child's arms by a lady. The puppy hasn't been seen since and that was almost a month ago. It's very sad, and has helped me decide to have mine micro-chipped. :) |
I have a cat's breakaway collar w/tag, but I haven't used it lately as I always use a harness when we go out for walks. However after hearing about Yoshi that got me to thinking, what if something were to happen during the day when I'm at work and if my lil one were to get out at least she would have some form of identification....sooooo she is going to start wearing her's again. |
in the house ...no collars/harness. when we go out to doggie play date or for walks, or in the car they wear their harnesses. |

That is why my three "big" (compared to Puddin') dogs wear collars with tags at all times. When Puddin' is big enough to have the run of the house (we never leave her home alone at this age) she will wear a collar with ID tags, too, even though she is also microchipped. My house has burglar bars on it (normal in SA) and we were quite certain that our house was pretty safe from intruders...and yet we came home to find a window removed from its frame and the dogs wandering in and out at will! If a thief comes to your house and leaves the front door open as he leaves, you'll be glad your babies were wearing collars with ID tags on them! |
I usually leave chesters harness on even when Im gone or I have a break away cat collar as well I will use sometimes |
Wow how scarry and sad to come home to a break in. I crate my dogs and we are very diligent of where they are at all times. I have one seventeen year old who is very good with the dogs as well. As everyone else here I feel as though my dogs are my babies and will do anything for them. Thanks for the information. |
Jackson wears his all the time because he's constantly going in and out. |
