I noticed the descriptions says that it suspends children. I wonder if it also suspends small puppies?

Depends on how big the puppy is, you may also need some harness and dog lift straps! Good luck!

Shouldn't be an issue, rated for 80#, which is actually enough for a couple of pre-schoolers depending on how much you feed them, so puppies should be no problem.

Hi Norm - I think this unit would pack too much of a wallop for a little one like that. I have a shih-tzu bichon mix who weighs about 20 lbs or so and the collar seems a little too heavy for her. It may be that you can find one for a smaller dog that wouldn't be so heavy around the neck. I would highly recommend the unit itself as a deterrent and as stated, we have never used the shock feature and the vibration is enough to get her attention and to stop her unwanted barking. Hope this was helpful.

A small child cannot squeeze between the bars. I purchased it because I have 3 Chihuahua's. The only 1 that could squeeze is was my Teacup Chihuahua.

I use it mainly for my dogs. I have had 4 and 5 year olds try to climb over and it fell over with them. They were not hurt, but I would say it depends on your child.

We used it for Collies, but it would be good for small dogs too. It is adjustable.

it gives out a loud high pitched squeal to warn them first and then if they keep it up, on the second time they do it it sends out a small shock.. I wouldn't use one on a little dog, but I have a 120lb. German Shepherd so, It worked great.. it completely broke her of the barking for no reason very quickly.. I would guess it depends on how smart the dog is whether they can figure out its from the barking that there getting a jolt from.. I hope that helps.

I had the same questions when I used the gentle leader. I would say it is like a horse halter. Having used this harness now for 2 years, i think it is a good alternative. But it does work differently.

Also, just found this reply on Sam's Club website: "This product is not designed for use in pulling children. There are no "locks" on the wheels to keep it from rolling if left unattended and there are no safety belts to keep children in place. We know how unpredictable children can be and would suggest a stroller or other approved device that is made specifically for children. We suggest this product be used to transport supplies, equipment, etc.Posted 11 months ago by Macsports Product Team"

It was great for my Golden Retriever. Now that I have a mini Labradoodle, 33lbs. everything slips between the prongs. I wish they would make one for smaller dogs because it works so well on lawns!

I have used it for my two bichonsand it works well its about the size of a child stroller my two year old granddaughter fits in. Very light weight

I think it would be great for puppies and small dogs to be in while you are away. I bought it for a kitten and now after some research I'm expecting the kitten to be able to climb out so I'm pondering a way to make a roof on it.

The large loop goes around the belly in front of hind legs. The only problem is you cannot adjust the height of it, and with my dogs it was too low, compared with the front loop, so that if I made it taut enough to hold the belly area, the small loop was choking them. And, obviously, if I made the small loop fit correctly, then the big loop was too slack and did nothing to restrain the dog. The restraints would have been good if they were adjustable, but unfortunately, they are not.

Lol! I hadn't noticed but I feel like my baby was completely safe when she was smaller. She is 14 months now and I have been using it since she was 9 months about 3 days a week. She can climb out of it now and it tips so maybe that's why? Sorry I couldn't be more help.

The swivel works wonderfully but I only have one 65 lb. dog. Just knowing dogs, I'd imagine their lines would tangle just from their play.

I bought it for a pomeranian and a miniature poodle. It is a little big and bulky for the pom. Not so bad for the poodle. The vibration didnt affect the small dog at all. I did not use the electric shock. My son held it against his hand and said it was just a tingle.

My dogs are small (6 lbs. 13 lbs) But when the little one pulls on the leash I hold the middle section between the two leashes and ithelps with the pulling. This leash is really a great one as it doesn't tangle and it's heavy duty. (just watch them as sometimes my dogs will go around you which can trip you) But, I think it should hold your dogs.

I would not recommend it for young kids or not at all. It does not work properly. My child kept falling off of it.
