May seem like a silly question, but after reading one should never remove the dog's collar, what about changing collars for growing pup?

Yes, you can move the pet tag to a bigger collar. Best do it in minutes. It is advised if collar w/ tag is removed, must be on dog less 2 hrs. 2 hrs w/o the collar, you have to start over again 3 wks let pet tag build up the protection again.

I found it to attract ticks to my dog but did seem to keep fleas at bay but not totally. When I groomed around the neck I would remove & lay right under her. As far as switching collars just take medal from one & put quickly on the other.

Hello and good day. Although this unit itself may be a bit large on a dog this size, you can cut the collar to remove the excess collar. What is the neck measurement of your pup? I also fully suggest using the comfort adapter. It provides a great deal more comfort, and effectiveness. Small Dog Comfort Adapter fits most Dogtra remote collars I now only put the unit on, and our dog (Min Pin) knows to fly right for the most part.

Hello,I have not had a problem with these collars, I have a 60# lab youngster that has not broken it. I have used these collars for 3 years an have not had any problems with them on any of our dogs. I would highly recommend them to you.

The size of the links on the collar vary, according to the size of your dog. You can add or remove individual links though to adjust to your specific dog.

No correction collars should be left on a pet for extended periods of time. I think 12 hours is too long. I have never left it on my dogs for more than 8-9 hours. If its not effective on your dog than long periods of time will not change that. It is effective with my dogs I only use it on occasion when they start barking again for example a few times a week does the trick for them.

As the owner of a dog daycare, I have seen several of these collars and they have a very long strap. We see people re-looping the end back through the D ring, or cut off the excess. In any event, I believe this collar will fit your puppy with plenty of room to grow.

while you are at it, buy a harness for your dog. smart people realize that the neck (collar) is not the best place to restrain your dog.

Every dog is different I am sure. All I can say is that my dogs knows when I put the collar on that they will be corrected for barking, so they do not do it. I do not leave the collar on them because there are two large protruding nodules inside the collar. They also know that when the collar is not on and they will bark. Perfect scenario would be a collar you could always have on... I have yet to see one without protruding parts though as that is how the collar works. It sure beats not having a corrective collar though. Good Luck!

The collar is adjustable. Just buy the one appropriate for the size of the dog. It's not magic, but it does help!

I think you are supposed to take the collar off prior to it getting wet. If it was just once, it's probably ok, but I would not continually expose it to water.

I'm not sure what you mean, exactly, are you planning to run the line to keep her in your yard when you are not home? Some dogs learn that the collar is what makes the difference, others don't ever figure it out. Honestly having it both ways is complicated and not something I would recommend.

Hi Nicole, I have been using mine for 4 month's with no problems. At night time I remove the collar and our dog comes in just to give her a break. I hope this helps. have a great day, Mark

My thought is by the time the pup is full grown you'd want a new collar. Because even though they last months and you can wash them in the dishwasher, it's just nice to get another one in a different color. My full grown Pyrenees has had hers over a year and the color doesn't bleed into her fur, the color is still as intense, and the locking mechanism is still working great, the collar is still like news. But still. Nice to have a change in fashion statements -- And have an extra when one is in the wash.

It isn't that heavy just a little bulky. Collar can be cut to fit pet. Don't keep on all the time. Start out just a few hours a day, times that you know pet usally barks for no reason. I have a doxie and I just only have to say collar now and he quits barking.

I only used the collar for about a month and then I stopped putting it on my dog. He still obeys perfectly some 3 months later. I have heard from others that sometimes it is necessary to use the collar again as a "refresher." I'm keeping mine handy, but so far I haven't needed to use it.

My dog has a collar on all the time. I just put him in the seat and hook the strap on the seat to his collar. He's little so it works just fine, he loves his seat.
