Does a Dog's Collar Need to Be Worn All the Time

Labrador Retriever (detailed introduction)
Collars are an essential item for many medium and large dogs when going out. A collar not only restricts the dog itself, but if two dogs quarrel, the owner can also promptly stop the dogs using the collar. However, many owners are accustomed to keeping the collar on the dog’s neck all the time. So, is this correct?
From a scientific perspective, dogs do not need to wear collars continuously for a long time. For example, when they return home, you can take the collar off, allowing them to be free and comfortable. However, when going outside, a collar must be worn, and the leash should be properly held to ensure the pet dog does not run around freely outdoors. Controlling it within a manageable range is the safest approach.
Special attention must be paid when putting a collar on a pet dog. If the collar is too tight, the dog will be uncomfortable; if it is too loose, it can easily fall off. Generally, after putting the collar on a pet dog, try to insert two fingers between the collar. If they can fit in without difficulty or tightness, it means the collar fits just right; otherwise, adjustments should be made accordingly.
