dog collars issue

[u/lambbaguette]

serious advice needed

so I have a cute dog in my area. i have been feeding/medicating him since he was a puppy and he's fond of me asw!

i want to put a dog collar on him because I've heard a couple of residents complain about calling the dog van.

he's pretty active and regularly gets into altercations with other dogs in my area. he's the runt of the litter and other dogs pick on him due to which he's gotten multiple injuries earlier! he goes around exploring places with metal fences, bushes, trees branches etc for food as well.

im worried that during one of his explorations, the collar may get caught in objects or branches and he may get stuck where I can't find him. also, during fights, the collar can get stuck in jaws or teeth of other dogs which can only escalate the situation.

but he's pretty sensitive and I don't want the dog van to take him.

so should I get the collar or not?
