Rather than a standard buckle collar, start your puppy off with a break-away buckle collar. Choking and strangulation are very real concern for puppy parents. Puppy playtime can turn into tragedy if a puppy's regular collar gets caught on something like:

- shrubbery
- kennels and crates
- air conditioning/heating units, vents
- another dog's jaw (they wrestle and play and one dog's jaw gets caught in the other dog's collar)
The beauty of the break-away collar is that the buckle releases when pressure is applied. Used properly it does double duty as a collar you can attach puppy's leash to. Here's an example: the
