It has velcro that you can rip open and the collar will literally come apart. If we ever have a situation where he'll be allowed to play with another dog unsupervised (or minimally supervised), he'll go naked.

And well done to you for being so calm. It must be so distressing to see your pups in pain and being confused. Thanks for sharing this story. I will definitely rethink having Del's collar on when playing with his friends.<br /><br />RachAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14648686097110263188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945854600109853657.post-59240649898148340802013-02-19T15:06:11.798-08:002013-02-19T15:06:11.798-08:00Yes, of course:)Yes, of course:)My Two Pittieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526624777044038820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945854600109853657.post-12910582330433833652013-02-19T15:00:01.678-08:002013-02-19T15:00:01.678-08:00I'm still thinking about this post, in fact I&...I'm still thinking about this post, in fact I've written a little something about it.

You really described it well, and I too am proud of them for not turning on each other when they were hurting and scared. Good for your mom's dog, too. Sometimes that type of excitement can really trigger the wrong behaviors. So good job to all of them. I'm so glad Kaya is OK. Ace has the same type of collar Kaya had on. I see others have mentioned the breakaway style collars. I guess that's an option for us all to think about.<br /><br />Glad all is well!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13963395707570608596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945854600109853657.post-9706353516334143122013-02-08T13:44:24.262-08:002013-02-08T13:44:24.262-08:00So scary.

I actually know someone who had this happen and she got bit by the dog because they panicked when she went to help.<br />It makes me sick just to have read that for what a terribly horrifying experience for you.

I did a search for <a href="http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3060844" rel="nofollow">breakaway collars</a> after it happened but ultimately decided they would be fine with no collars at home, but maybe it would be good for your pups since they need their collars on.My Two Pittieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526624777044038820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945854600109853657.post-71546486493822885442013-02-06T10:57:33.185-08:002013-02-06T10:57:33.185-08:00I think it should be a rule for all doggy daycares...I think it should be a rule for all doggy daycares to require no collars during rough play!

I've been in your exact shoes. Luckily for me the results were not nearly as scary the lack of air was not nearly as bad as what you dealt with. But the exact same situation, two of the pups playing happily together and thenNoah's jaw caught in Baby Girl's collar. You were so much calmer than me. I'm ashamed to say I simply panicked. It's crazy how many thoughts can run through your head at once. I have a couple of pups that will lash out at each other anytime there is over stimulation in the group and I was worried about them all at the same time. I had to leave Noah and Baby Girl to run to the kitchen for scissors but like you they were pulled so tight I couldn't even get the scissors under the collar. In hindsight I wouldn't have been able to cut through that collar anyway! To tell you the honest truth I don't know how I got the collar off of Baby Girl, it's all a blur. Like you the collar was still intact at the end so I must have got the quick release undone but I don't remember it happening. I only know I was panicked. We were all crying when it was over and like Norman they were both very subdued after the fact. I think everyone was confused. And as a side note everyone else was on their best behavior no arguements broke out at all.....it could have been so much worse but I hope to never go through that again. For awhile I removed their collars but they have access to a doggie door during the day and I decided I could not take the chance of them getting out without their collars. Sorry this was long but it really struck a cord with me. I'm sorry you went through that I can tell you that's it's something you never forget! It's been 3 years for me and I remember it like it was yesterday!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13888201111578566402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945854600109853657.post-89406378876102340852013-02-06T10:50:18.357-08:002013-02-06T10:50:18.357-08:00I don't know what a water moccasin is, but it ...I don't know what a water moccasin is, but it sounds scary!

Two dogs got tangled up the exact same way. The english setter was literally turning blue, and we could NOT get his collar off no matter what. We finally managed to get a pair of scissors between him and his collar and he was a-ok.<br /><br />I am so glad both of your pups are ok.

I had heard stories about dogs getting caught on each others collars, so we keep them off at all times when at home, especially if we have a foster that Nola plays rough with. It makes me a little nervous, because I have also heard the opposite, to keep them on them in case they run off, get spooked, etc. So it's kind of a toss up. Your story made me cry, but I am so happy they are all right!
