Well he kinda needs to have a collar on inside because thats how i take him out to go to the bathroom, so i can attach the leash! Thanks for all the help, there was lots of good ideas =]

Is a harness as safe as a collar to keep on a dog 24/7?

tags are metal

Unless he likes to dart out the door every time it's opened just take his collar off him. They're a potential choking hazard indoors anyway.

Have you tried a smaller collar and tag? Also, there are sprays you can get that stop them from chewing (tastes bad). Ask the pet store.

When you see him chew on his ID tag, Say NO in a firm way, and hold him on the collar firmly..
This is a good way of training..
Works for me....

put a little hot sauce on the tag lemon juice would work unless the tag is metal

They have collars where you can get his information embroidered on. Search the internet for them -- takes away the ID tags.

well, i think you should wate a little longer before you put a collar on your puppy or untill he or she milking teeth fall out or you gould get a shorter collor for your puppy and dont just give him or her and new collar every time, give your puppy disaplan too! if your not already remmeber your the boss of your puppuy he or she is not the boss of you!! i have a little palmerian puppy his name is grizly and he tries to be the boss of me but i take action so im the boss!

You can order a flat tag for very very cheap of Ebay (slider tag) that slides over the dog's collar and is still highly visible.

It's the rectangular one with the slots on the sides. I have one on my dog and it's great.

I have 2 rat terriers. Mine chew theirs, only when they are bored. Make sure he has toys, interact with him, and make sure he is excercised ALOT. Rat terriers are super hyper and get bored easily. They will also dig when bored, my female dug through my carpet several times.

Get them laminated in that silicon rubber...
That's what I did with my chihuahua. When he understood that the tags were no deal, he went for the house shoes!
