A flat buckle collar, without any tags or tabs, is certainly safer but the best is no collar at all. The best choice seems to be a noose-type collar/leash combo that slips on and off quickly, leaving the dog collar-less for the run. If anything gets caught on an obstacle or jump it can create a permanent fear or hesitation on that particular equipment. There's much work to do before you get into any real obstacles and combonations so everything will be fine with a flat buckle collar for now. Have Fun! Poodles love agility.

I use a flat buckle collar, with a no-dangle tag. I'm too paranoid to run the dog without any tag at all, even though he is a complete velcro dog.
