Do dogs have to wear collars? Legally, maybe. Socially, probably. But practically? You’re the boss. If you keep the collar for safety and take it off for comfort, you’re winning at dog parenting. It’s like wearing a seatbelt—nobody loves the feeling, but you do it because the alternative is a headache.
So, next time you see your dog running around collar-free in the backyard, relaxing without the jingle, just know: you’re not breaking the law. You’re just letting your dog be free for a while. And if they ever need to go for a walk, you’ll slap that collar back on like a superhero’s cape—functional, quick, and way more stylish than the law requires.
