“DOG COLLARS?”Webster's II (1934) gives dog collar in that sense as Brit slang. Someone with an OED could say how far back it goes, and whether or not it’s usually derogatory.
‘Maurice, why did you bring that ghastly little dog-collared drip over here like that?’— Kingsley Amis, The Green Man, 1969.
