Just thought I would post what happened yesterday with Phoebe and Mia as it really did scare me :fear2: I came back from shopping and as usual they were going bonkers :lol2: mia decided to put her two front paws on phoebe's back to try and get to me IYSWIM? I pushed her off and in doing so caught my bracelet in her collar mia pulled away and the bracelet released itself. BUT I then went upstairs to put something away and phoebe and mia follwed me, I then heard a commotion with the girls crying and carrying on so I went to see what was going on. Jezze Phoebe had caught her bottom jaw in Mia's collar and it had twisted so Phoebe couldn't get her jaw out but at the same time it was choking Mia :fear2: I dashed over to them but I couldn't get phoebe's jaw out of the collar that's when I started to panic as I knew that mia was being choked :'( I don't know what I did but all of a sudden phoebe got her jaw out and calm was restored ph34r THANK DOG I'am taking this as a warning not to put their collars on unless they are going for a walk, from now on no more collars on in the house, if I hadn't been in what would have happened doesn't bare thinking about :luv: :luv: Please Please Coler's take notice of this :luv: x x x

What a scare Dianne. I am so relieved that your beautiful girls are ok, and that this was just a warning rather than something more horrendous being told.
I had a similar incident with the tag on a collar getting caught in the training pen. Again, luckily for me, I was in at the time.
Thank you for writing this thread. :luv:
-
Glad they are ok :luv:
I had a similar incident on a walk, where Isaacs collar got caught in my friends dog's halti head collar. We luckily managed to unclip the halti - no easy task with two large dogs writhing around, about to loose their tempers :shades:
Mine don't wear collars in the house either :D
-
Thats why mine don't wear collars.
-
Oh Diane how awful that must have been :bigarmhug:
I'm glad they are both ok. Definitely food for thought isn't it.
Special hugs to your gorgeous girls
-
Dennis doesn't wear his in the house as we are looking to show him and were advised it can damage his hair. With this knowledge, I'll be removing Minnie's too
-
yep, exactly why mine don't wear collars unless its walkies
these crazy cockers get themselves into all sorts of mischief that I'm sure no other breed could >:D
glad you were able to sort it all out before any real harm was done :013:

same here and never ever put a collar on them in a crate

My OH had two German shepherds, they were out walking and playing one jumped at the other and got his paw in the others collar and it ended up with a broken neck. So scary, but selby won't let us put a harness on him.
So so pleased things turned out well, it must have been so scary for you. Love to you all

This happened to my sisters two labs while we were out walking over the fields one afternoon. I had to almost sit on the one who had his jaw caught as the other was choking and frantic. Luckily my OH and BIL were with us and my BIL managed to snap one slide of the plastic collar clip. It was one of the scariest things I have ever encountered and dread to think what would have happened if it had just be me and my sister. Neither of us ever leave collars on our dogs now unless they're out walking.
So glad everything turned out ok for you all xx
-
Am so pleased you were there. It must have been v scary. I was warned about collars getting caught in puppy class which is why mine never wear them indoors. That's why I have red dingo ones (easy to get on and off) but was warned about that type of collar breaking in puppy class too :dunno:
-
What frightened me most was how quickly it happened :o one minute they were playing and the next well it doesn't bare thinking about really :o in all the years that I've had cockers this is the first time that this has happened and I hope it never happens again. Thanks for your concern peeps :luv: :luv: x x x

I think the fact that you have taken the time to post this is great Dianne. It made me think again, as I have been leaving Gracie's collar on. We so easily forget, and would be mortified if anything happened as a result of not thinking ahead. xxx

Glad the girls are OK Di. Years ago, my puppy got his ID tag caught in the crate and was choking. Thank dog I was there. From that day, the only time any of my dogs has worn a collar is on a walk - as soon as we get home it gets taken off.
I cringe when I see pictures on here of dogs wearing their collars when not walking. They can be lethal in the garden too - they could get stuck on a branch or something causing the dog to try and wrestle free and choke.
Glad Phoebe and Mia and you are OK. :luv:
-
Oh crikey that must have been scary Di :o :'(
So pleased that Phoebe & Mia are o.k. (& you of course) :luv: :luv:
Our's never wear collars indoors (exc. Georgia but thats another story ph34r)
Many years ago when we had a litter of puppies, one of the boys got his mouth caught on the crate wire :'( thank god i was literally a nano second away :013:
-
Oh Di thank goodness you were there. I heard a story some time ago about a dog having an incident with a collar and ever since then I have taken Ellie's collar off as soon as we get home from a walk and it doesn't go on again until we set off to go on another walk. Lots of hugs to Mia & Phoebe.
-
so glad it all turned out ok for you - how scary though.
I never leave collars on my boys as very sadly I know a lady whose lab caught its coller on a kitchen unit door handle and strangled itself, so very sad :'( and something you can't predict happening, but i never leave collars on now.
-
So pleased to hear they were both okay. It must have been really frightening for the girls and you and scary how things like this can happen so quickly.

That is so sad, the poor owner.

the breeder we got Rosie from said they never have collars on other then on walks as a friend of there daughters who they met through shows had a lovely golden cocker the parents had to leave for work a little early and stay home a little late i dont know the reason why but anyway the boy locked up and left for school came back a few hours later to find the dog had jumped up to the door to watch him go throught the little glass panel and jumping down caught its collar on the knob the boy came home to a strangled dog :'( :'( :'( and he called his parents but they couldent be back until a half hour later dew to traffic and travel time :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
How awful! So glad that you were there :bigarmhug:

Glad they're OK. It's a good rule for a one-dog household as well as a multi-dog household. We've never left collars on when the dogs are on their own. I learned my lesson years ago through leaving a collar on a goat. (Trust me, goats can horse around and get into every bit as much trouble as a cocker! :luv:)

hi,
must have been terrible, glad there both ok :D
This has settled an argument in our house though, for the past 2 years me and Tanja has argued wether or not they should wear collars in the house, i say yes incase they escape and Tanja says no for safety reasons. Im glad Tanja wears the pants in this house >:D and we have been taking them off.
Although horrible thing to happen to you, glad you have posted this. I will make sure i remove collars now when Tanja away.
