What are the strongest dog collars available and can other people hurt your dog if they escape?
My dog is young but she already broke two collars, one of which was metal. What is the strongest collar I can get her that won't be too unconfortable for her? Also, some guy kicked my dog after she snapped her collar and ran down the street and then threatened to call animal control on her. She has never done anything bad at all to anyone. Can he do that?

train your dog not to pull. If she is pulling hard enough to break her collar then she is pulling hard enough to potentially damage her trachea and esophagus. Try using a properly fitted pinch collar on walks.
As far as other people harming your dog. Yes if they feel your dog is charging at them, threatening them etc they have a right to defend themselves by what ever means the feel necessary. Also in most areas if your dog gets loose and is chasing livestock it can legally be shot and killed. As far as him calling animal control he most defiantly can. It is your responsibility to keep your dog under control at all times. If she is breaking her collar and running off she is not under your control and you are in violation of the law
