They probably think Hey this thing is restricting me, it makes feel like I'm in prison. But then the other guy says oh they love me so much look what they've given me. and the other girl says...hey it's too tight and i hate this color on me.
I’ve been dog sitting lately and the leash is cause for hysterical glee. It means he’s getting out of here. He accepts without question that he has to wear it when we’re in the neighborhood.

Sure. It all depends upon who is leading the leash. If the dog has a decent master who understands how to handle a leash, then the dog is calm and happy and ready to obey whatever. If the person holding the leash has no idea how to handle a dog, he and the dog will probably have a little trouble at the very least. The dog wants to know that he has a master. If he doesn't have that support, he starts to get anxiety and will not obey. He will act out. He will pull at the leash. He will fight you tooth and nail.
To my dog they mean pride and joy. I only have to say the word "leash" or "harness" and he goes ape. And once its on he won't shut up. As for his collar, if I take it off his eyes get big, his tail droops and he acts lost. It's as if he's without that collar (and tags) he's no longer "mine"... and that breaks his little heart.
