Hi Lori,
Welcome to the list :o) I leave the Emmetts collar on 24/7 . . . he is also micochiped. He got 
loose form us when we first got him, and the people that picked him up were able to contact 
us from the info on his tags, so I am all for the collars 24/7. I haven't had any problem with 
the collar ever. I think Emmett sees that Melvin wears his, so he follows suit...lol :o) 
Have a good day, and again welcome to the list.
Merri, Emmett(Pyr)& Melvin(Germ Shep, Gold Retriever, & Chow)
