steve2507 522 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 What's people thoughts on working there dogs with collars and without 1 or even in general exercise ? I found my bitch this morning hung on a low branch and she managed to twist round till the collar was so tight that it strangled her to the point her eyes where bulging and had shit herself I managed to cut the collar free from her and got her to regain breathing properly she was a bit out of it coming home and when I got in but seems fine now she has had a good fluid intake and a light meal ,so im thinking now leave the collar off when out so this does happen again as next time it could be a R I P write up . thanks in advance Steve Quote Link to post

Giro 2,648 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I have always ran mine with collars on... Had plenty of injuries none in relation to wearing a collar.. Can see it may happen but its not a common injury, collars getting caught. Well not for me anyway. Glad your dogs ok fella.. Quote Link to post
