"was" is a form of the verb "be."
"the" is an article.
"dog's" is the possessive form of the noun "dog."
"collar" is the simple subject.

Collar is the simple subject; was expensive is the verb phrase. Was is a past tense verb--the first and third person singular of the verb be---I was, you were, he/she was.

collar.

"Was" is the verb, it's past tense of "to be". "Dog's" is a possessive, and expensive is an adjective.
