Quick Outside Breaks  – Basic collars provide a quick way to have a collar that you can attach a leash to for those times you need to take your dog out to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.

Providing Distance Id – Lets face it one of the cool things about dog collars is that you can choose a cool design.
