Dog Collar
The standard dog collar is what your dog would wear for everyday use and can come in a variety of materials.
Most common these days are the Nylon dog collars. These come in all sorts of colors and sizes. The main advantage of a nylon dog collar is its price. These collars are very cheap yet provide a superb durability in that they don't tend to rot and when wet will dry out quickly. Alternative types such as leather dog collars tend to have a more aesthetic natural appeal. A good quality leather dog collar could easily last the lifetime of your dog.
An extension to this is the designer dog collar or fashion collars. These can extend to anything from a simple fashionable pattern or designer name, to a rhinestone dog collar for more special occasions. You can even get gucci dog collars now.
There are other types of collar avilable for your dog but these tend to be specialized for other purposes such as training and restraint. It is possible to buy special collars for training. Either an electronic dog training collar or a choke training collar. These are both discussed in more detail here.
The dog collar that you will be using most should be comfortable for your dog and secure, although for lapdogs where the collar can be more of a fashion accessory being comfortable is the priority. For larger dogs, a strong hardwearing collar is a must.
