My dog can get out of any collar. What do i do?

Answers:
Try a harness.
wow. you should. i dont know. sorry
Are you sure it's not too big for it? Choke collars usually work pretty well.
tighten them.. or ask a doctor
Interesting. Your dog is quite clever! I dunno, sorry. Experience with a harness because then maybe he can't get out of that. Talk to your nearest pet store, they should provide things like this.
you teach him not to come out his collar or by a different collar
Put the collar on a little tighter. NOT TO TIGHT!
Tighten theh collar up a dog is usually tough enough to take it trust me it only hurts when u pull on it!!
I don't believe that.you obviously haven't tried that many collars, or you don't put it on tight enough. The only way a dog could get out of every possible properly fitted collar, would be if it's head was smaller than its neck.
Have you tried a harness? Most dogs find that to be very difficult to wiggle out of.
Get a harness. If he can get out of that then I would change his name to Houdini..

They should sell harnesses at your local pet store.
Sew the collar onto his skin. Sometimes that's all you can do.
if a choke chain is used properly theres no way your dog could get out.
tie he's legs together
get a cat - they dont need collars
Use a all-in-one lead, no need for a collar.. just put the end of the lead around his nack and walk him.. thats it really..no need for a lead.
enter him into a dog magician show.
thats pretty cool! id like to see that. :P
harness, they are 100% safer than anything else x
"Martingale" collars usually work for crafty dogs. There are also different sorts of body harnesses that you can try.

We have a Boxer mix who could get out of everything, and we finally found that she does well with a standard collar (to wear her tags) and a "Halti" head-stall to wear when we walk her. We make sure the standard collar is put on high on her neck (almost behind her ears), and tight enough so you can only get 2 fingers in between the collar and the dog's neck.

If the dog can get out of crates, try getting a crate with a double-lock on the door (one at the top and one at the bottom of the door), or use a small bungie-cord to help secure the door of the crate.
Use a harness. It goes under the front legs and around. Does not choke the dog. Great for dogs where the head is as big as thier neck.
Buy a martingale Collar that greyhounds wear, They can not get out of them.
Put a harness on him/her, almost impossible to get out of.

If these martingale collars are fitted correctly, they are unslipable (the rings on the neck piece should NOT quite touch when the lead part is pulled tight.
.Get your dog in obedeince training.
try a harness good luck
What kind of dog do you have? Are you getting the correct size collar?

Choke collars are not safe as full time collars, and I don't recommend them for training, either.

Martingale collars should work on your dog. They work on dogs that can easily slip out of collars.

You can find one at Petsmart, or check out http://www.collarmania.com for their custom designs!

Try a straight jacket, if it can get out in under a minute you could earn some good money being its manager by sending it on tour with Paul Daniels!

Have you tried a chest harness (for the dog not you)?
Well, sounds like you have a canine Houdini! You need to make sure that his collar is on snugly. NOT tight, I said snugly. You should be able to get two fingers under the collar. Usually choke chains are pretty tough for them to get out of if they are put on right and not too big. Measure around your dog's neck right behind the ears and add about 3 inches to that, that is the size choke chain you need. A Martingale collar used on greyhounds and animals with smaller heads work very well and stay on. Go to your local pet store and ask them for one and make sure it fits right. Don't tie your dog out on a rope or chain with a choke or Martingale collar, if it tightens up they could choke to death. As far as the cage goes, you got me there. Maybe put him in it and use those plastic flex ties. You will have to cut them off every time, but at least the dog will stay in the cage. Good luck.
As others have said, a harness is a good option. One thought to keep in mind with them is that it enables your pup to get more muscle behind her/him when he/she pulls, if a puller. Just wanted to toss in because I have a houdine of my own that happens to like dragging me down the road.
put him in a show called "the amazing dogdini"
