 === Training Collar ===
-A Training collar is put on a [[Pupil]] by a [[Trainer]] that generally consists of a leather strap and may or may not symbolize [[Trainer#Relationship_specific_training| relationship specific training]], though frequently it indicates the latter. It generally does not have a permanent locking mechanism but may have a snap or buckle, as the training period is considered to have a definitive start and end. During the time the collar is worn the pupil responds to the commands and instructions of the trainer, which may also be their respective d-type, or not, depending upon the purposes of the training. Training for a permanent relationship collar usually takes approximate one year according to many traditions.

 Usually a training collar does include an O-ring and two D-rings, one on either side for tethering as needed.  Training collars are sometimes used for large scale training events as well, though the specifics of these event/collar arrangements may vary widely.

-Usually a training collar does not include an O-ring as a traditional collar does as one in training is generally not considered prepared for leashing, or if trained by one other than their respective d-type, leashing is generally not considered appropriate even if they are prepared for such activities.

		+	== Traditions of Collar Removal ==
		+
		+	It is often considered inappropriate for someone outside of the wearer and the dominant of the collar to touch a collar that does not belong to them as many ascribe much symbolism and meaning to their collars and consider them treasured possessions.
		+
		+	In many cases a collar will be forbidden to be removed by the [[d-type]] though many make exceptions for security checkpoints and medical/hygienic reasons. In many cases the [[s-type]] is not allowed to remove the collar and the [[d-type]] must be the one to remove it, this is often especially true with collars that have locking mechanisms that require a special key or combination.
		+
		+	Permanent removal of a final collar is often done only after a two week grace period from the time either partner decides to wish to remove it so as to allow emotions to cool from the time the desire to remove it was indicated, allowing that the collar need not come off needlessly, but that the collar will still come off as needed.
