I'm getting a custom collar commissioned by a friend, so if I'm still wondering around here I'll post a picture of it when I get it

It increases my STR and STA significantly, which is important for a Guardian.

I sometimes wear leather dog collars as an everyday accessory, even when going to places outdoors.. I don't think it's something that you have to hide or be ashamed of. In my experience people don't really care much ^^ My favourite one is a brown collar with metal pawprints on it, followed by a plain black one :3

I also kinda "collects" collars, buying one every now and then wherever they might decide to appear ^^ The person selling them usually think that you know what you're doing and won't ask many questions since most stores won't allow you to bring your dog in with you anyway... (only question I've ever got was "You sure it's the right size?" )

I want a dog collar a lot however I'm having much difficulty getting my hands on one.
Amazon put this pending payment on my visa gift card so now the card thinks I only have 4$ when really I should have 14$ because I have no idea where the hell that pending payment came from. I have done almost everything possible to fix it so I won't go into details.
I then asked my mom if we could go to the store for one and she isn't very happy about it, giving me a hard time so I don't know if I'll ever get there.
I think my only option is going to be to wait until I can drive to the store myself ):

I want a puppy/dog collar, something a typic dog would wear. Simple nylon or around there. I'm not into the leather ones- as I don't want it for style but for feel. I'm a cuddly wosky and like the feeling of being trapped/helpless, as well as the feeling of being cute/cuddly. The current one I'm looking at is a lighter blue with brown paw prints all around it. Not very typic for humans buttttttt it's what I want! Other then that I think a plain black or blue one would work too.
And I definitely want a leash :D

Just be careful when buying a puppy collar, most of the times they're too small for normal necks... Collars intended for Medium-sized dogs and upwards seem to work best.. I have been planning on getting a nylon one, but I'm afraid it might end up making friction-burns around my neck since there's no fur there... Even the normal leather ones tend to have sharp edges that might start cutting...

Maybe there is a way to sew on some fabric like fleece on the inside?

And yes I know about the sizes c:
I hadn't meant actually buying a collar for a puppy! I more of less meant cute. No studs or anything

I'm a disaster when it comes to sewing so I'll just try to deal with it..  XD
And I wrote that because when I got my first collar (impulse buy at a random store), I had no idea what I was doing or what size I'd need so I just grabbed a puppy collar and it ended up being too small x-x
And I prefer "normal" collars too :3 Studded or chain-collars doesn't fit my character, but something like this is fine: http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mo20kOUTKVqw6-VBxpJxMXw.jpg
^Almost exactly what the collar i described in my first post looks like :3
(I also do have a pink collar with beads on the sides, fake gems on the buckle and a sparkle-leopard print for those special days, even if it's OOC for my fursona x3)

Haha I like that one (:
Also glad I'm not alone on wanting a normal collar x
hopefully I can get one because I really wanted to sleep with it and now that I've read this I really really really want to!

I've actually never tried sleeping with a collar on... Could make for an interesting experiment :3
(Quick in-between edit: Gonna try sleep with this on tonight http://www.bf-gear.com/files/2010/08/nahkapanta_vuoritettu.jpg
I have the black slim one in the picture)

Normal collars adds more to the special feeling somehow, at least for me :3 I like the idea of being a beloved family pet that's mostly laying around my owners feet or running around doing silly things. It just doesn't feel the same with a spiked collar since that gives more of a "guard dog"-feeling xD

Yes! I'm so glad you were able to put it into words, I might use this explanation more.

This is an interesting one.
I never really wanted one until recently.  I had officially made a fursona back in Sept 2013 with the help of my "owner".  I put that in air quotes because she's not the typical definition of owner.  I am more like her awesome friend and hang out when she asks.  Anyway, I told her that I wanted a collar to simply have a fur-ccessory :P  I have made ears that fit a hoodie and currently working on a tail(that I now need to redesign) and then I wanted a collar to go with.  Since I was going to be traveling to Oklahoma in a few weeks, I decided to wait and go with her to get one.  We went to a local pet shop and picked out this big ass linked-metal chain.  It's more like a chain than a collar, but I chose its size for the reason of wearing it with a fursuit that would have a large neck later on.  Also, I wear a tie to work sometimes and I can't stand wearing one as it makes me feel like I am choking.  I even tug at it from time to time during the day.  I wouldn't sleep in it due to that reason.  A small amount of people die each year from strangling themselves with their own bed sheets.  I highly doubt I'd do that, but no reason to add to the fray. 
I wear it out in public under my shirt.  It sticks out above my shirt behind my neck, but I have long hair that goes to between my shoulder blades effectively blocking it from view.  IF you were paying attention while looking at me or looked at me from a slight angle you might see it on the sides of my neck just before it goes under my shirt.
Recently, I changed Eon from a Wolf to a Red Panda so it's kind of ODD, but i still wear it from time to time.

*Random picture spree - You have been warned*

Got bored and decided to take pictures of me wearing all my collars one at a time x-x
Since there will be several pictures I'll put them under spoilers

Spoiler for Hidden:
This is my usual everyday-collar.. I like to wear it since it's pretty soft on the inside

Spoiler for Hidden:

Spoiler for Hidden:

Spoiler for Hidden:
Sparkly leopard-printed collar with extra sparkles and beads for those weird days you just have to go OOC xP

Spoiler for Hidden:
Originally a bracelet, now slightly modified into a collar.. Added the tag and the weird two-ringed thing by the buckle...

Spoiler for Hidden:
The only collar I own that's actually meant for humans xD

Spoiler for Hidden:
Originally a bracelet, and the first thing that made me notice that I actually like wearing these things... Memories xP

Spoiler for Hidden:

Spoiler for Hidden:
I have two of these... Didn't bother to put on the other one so I just took a pic of it like this... Here it's easier to see the two-ringed thing

Spoiler for Hidden:
Extremely over-sized (Can easily fit my whole hand between the collar and my neck) xD Bought as a future accessory in case I ever get a Cheza-fursuit x3

Spoiler for Hidden:
My favourite collar<3

Hi, it's me again :'D

Here's my latest additions :3 (hopefully the pics show up for you guys too x-x)


^A plain purple collar with a bone-shaped thingy. This is my first nylon-collar and so far I'm happy with it
(I do notice that this feel like it's chafing more than most of the leather-collars i own, but it could also be because it's not properly broken in yet :'P)

And A SHINY!!! x3

^Also got this collar-tag, here seen on my favorite paw-collar ^-^
