Will this collar I made be strong enough?

I crocheted a collar with a handle, also called a deployment collar, out of Red Heart acrylic worsted weight yarn. It is single crocheted and a tight stitch. The handle is connected with crochet, then folded back and crocheted over again, picking up two rows on the connection points.

I am not thinking of doing protection training, as she's 5 years already, but I think it would be useful when company comes over so I can reach down and correct her if she gets out of hand.

Update:

My dog doesn't lunge but she runs upp to the door and barks at guests. She doesn't show any aggressive behavior except for barking. I made the collar so that I wouldn't accidentally hurt her by pulling on her fur if i grabbed her regular collar she has on now.

    I have no clue how to crochet but I sure wouldn't trust a large breed dog with a crocheted collar. It should be fine for a small dog if it is just for show

    really it depends on the type of dog that you have if its a huge German shepherd who tends to lung at people then I would have to say no. But if its a smaller breed or even a large breed that doesnt lunge and you just want the collar to work with her then i would say that it would be okay. But if you have a lunging dog i would suggest leather or a heavy nylon.
