of a dog to a substantial collar worn by such dog, and it shall be unlawful for the

hunting, (ii) the dog is competing in a dog show, (iii) the dog has a skin condition
which would be exacerbated by the wearing of a collar, (iv) the dog is confined, or
(v) the dog is under the immediate control of its owner.
