When is it appropriate to accept a collar from a handler? This is a topic with a lot of contradictory issues and uninformed viewpoints.
What is the meaning of the pup collar, and why is it so important in the relationship between a sub and his handler?
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to accepting a collar. However, it is entirely up to the pup to decide whether or not to accept the collar.
Many pups need to feel like they’re a part of something bigger, so they’re collared. Individuality is something that comes to play in this situation. Before you accept a collar, remember who you are and what it means to you.
You can be a stray/individual pup in a community while still being a valuable member. The fact that you wear a pup collar does not make you any less or more important than any other pup in the community.
When accepting a pup collar, take your time and get to know the person who will perform the menial duty of becoming your handler.
