That just sounds like you have an uncomfortable one and maybe aren’t used to it. My dogs feel naked without it, same way I do without underwear on.
Probably just a habit thing. Guessing they just think something is wrong cos we haven't taken the collar off yet.
Also nothing wrong with freeballing it at home.
I would like to cast my vote for collar off at home
Weird I only wear one at home
I took my dog's collar off back in '19 and have not seen it since. She wears her harness when we are out of the house. She is chipped, has a GPS tracker on her harness, as well as an airtag inside of her harness.
Who doesn't take their underwear off? Always for love, never from fear man
