Collars should be loose enough to rotate but not loose enough to slip over the ears of the dog. Allowance should be made for at least two of your fingers between the collar and dog’s throat. You should however avoid making the collar too large because, most dogs will quickly figure out a way to slip out of their collar if they are given half the chance.

Since you will be attaching a leash to the collar from time to time, you should ensure that the collar is strong enough. A Labrador for instance will require sterner stuff in the way of a collar than a Chihuahua.
