When selecting a dog collar there are two main things to keep in the mind: size and safety.
Size
If at all possible, take your dog with you to the pet store when selecting a dog collar. If this isn’t possible, use a flexible measuring tape to measure the circumference of your dog’s neck. This will give you a rough idea of the size of collar you’ll need. Dog collars come in sizes ranging from “extra small” to “extra large”. Most dog collars have buckles and are adjustable. Look for a collar that’s bigger than your measurement so you can adjust it down to the appropriate size.
When you return home, have your dog “sit” and slip the collar around its neck. Tighten and buckle the collar to a comfortable tightness. The collar shouldn’t be loose enough to slip over the dog’s head, but it shouldn’t be too tight either. Try to slip two fingers between the collar and the dog’s neck. If you can fit your fingers under the collar, the collar isn’t too tight.
If your dog is still working on understanding the “sit” command, stand over your dog with the collar in one hand. Scratch the dog’s chin to coax it to lift its head and slip the collar around his or her neck. Dogs who are not accustomed to wearing a collar may paw at the collar and try to pull it off. Dogs will eventually adjust to wearing one. If this behavior concerns you, then only put the collar on the dog when he or she can be supervised. Gradually increase the time the dog wears the collar until the dog is comfortable with it.
Safety
Collars can get stuck on a variety of things. Every year many dogs are strangled by their collars. There are “breakaway collars” available. These collars will pop open if the collar is pulled to the point of possible injury. They can be reconnected and are ready to be used immediately. There are two “D-rings” on either side of the breakaway connector that can be connected to a leash so that the collar won’t pop open during leash training. Some collars are made from a highly reflective material which enables motorists to see your dog at night.

If you have a puppy, you may want to consider purchasing an adjustable dog collar.
