Morphology
The meaning is compositionally derived: 'dog' modifies 'collar' to indicate a collar associated with or styled like one worn by dogs. A B1 learner who knows 'dog' and 'collar' can readily infer a collar either for a dog or a necklace resembling a dog’s collar, so the relation is transparent.
Etymology
Dog collar names the band put around a dog's neck to 'attach a leash or name tag', so the owner can lead the dog and show who it belongs to.
