The two dogs that I would be purchasing these collars for are about 20-30 lbs, my concern is that the collar will be to large for them....thoughts?

My 55 & 45 lb. Pit mixes are fine with them. The collar has holes almost the whole way around. You could cut the extra off as its just plastic. I saw them in UAE on pit bull puppies, certainly less than 30lbs. at a training session, so I believe they would be fine. My pit/hound mix responds to the vibration & the other is a little more stubborn, needing the static shock. I had back surgery & these collars allow me to control them both on & off the leash. It has also helped to stop unwanted behavior with only a couple of zaps.

I think this collar is definitely too large for them! Dogtra makes ecollars specifically for smaller dogs so I would look those up. I have a 65 lb lab and I had to cut about eight inches off of the collar due to it being so long. However, it fits my 110 lb lab perfectly :]

I have 2 Brittany's, the collars fit fine. They work as advertised my male sit on the top of my feet when I have it on him. My female stays closer for sure.John

I think they would be okay. My smaller dog is about 42 lbs. and has no difficulty. You could easily limit the use and not keep the collar on all day. The unit is a little bulky, but not real heavy. You can easily cut the collar to length. Since I have only had to use the vibrate function, I cannot speak to the shock, but the control is variable, so your dogs should be fine if they need the extra stimulus.

We have 5 dogs that we put these collars on and the smallest one is 45 lbs. Based on what it looks like on her I would guess that the receiver would be too large for a 20 to 30 lb dog. The collar, itself, would be no problem because it does have holes all the way around it but my concern would be the size of the receiver.

Hi Greg. They fit my 25 lbs dogs fine. The collars are super long. I had to cut quite a bit off the end because it was hitting my dogs in the face.

My dogs are 13 and 21 lbs and the collars are just fine. Best purchase ever.

My dogs are 57 and 64 pounds and they work fine. 20 to 30 pounds I just dont know. Good luck.

The collars might be kind of large for a 20 to 30 pound dog. My two dogs are 54 to 58 pounds, and the collars are the right size for them. I have also seen 30 to 40 pound dogs in these collars and that seems OK. You can cut the collar part to any length, so that's not the issue. The issue is the shocker part is about 2.5 inches long by 1.5 inches wide by 1 inch deep. That part might be too big and heavy for a smaller dog. On the other hand, these collars are great!

The holes on the collar go almost all the way around, so you can tighten it up as much as you need. My dogs are just under 7 lbs and it will work on them.

Don't buy it. A 3 lb dog is too small for this kind of collar. I have a 12 lb bichon and I sometimes think it is hurting her too much so I do not use it any more.

The collars are available in a variety of sizes, our dogs are 80 pounds. Pick an appropriate size for your pooch....they are very good collars. Remember that you have to train the dogs to understand the commands BEFORE you use the collar.

I has seen there were different sizes. Is that correct? I have two 75 -80 pound dogs do you have the appropriate size that would be designed for them or is it one size fits all collars?

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.

I think it should Fit Because I purchased this collar for my Chihuahua and She weights about 22lbs. Please let me know if this helps you?

I have used this collar successfully on a 20lb terrier. I would suggest the dog be at least 12-15lbs from my experience.

I really don't know as this has not been a problem with our two dogs. I would think that if the dog doesn't chew on the collar it wouldn't be a problem, but then I can't say for sure. Your best bet would be to contact the company and ask them this question. We keep the collars pretty snug on our dogs too.

The product description on one of these (medium/large) collar lists medium neck size 16-19" and large neck size 20-24". I believe my boyfriend and I use the large one on our two big dogs, both weighing in close to eighty pounds. It depends on the size of your dog and his neck.

I just went onto the manufacturer's website and the large collar is for dogs over 18lbs. Hope that helps.

The collar is pretty larg. I cut mine already so I can not measure exact length. It should work for your dogs, I have a 90 lb boxer/Irish wolf hound mix and I have it on the lowest stimulation setting.

my dog has a 22 inch neck and I ordered him the one that says it adjusts to 23 inches (I think the Large)...it was too small. Luckily a neighbor with the same collar gave us an extra link in order to make it fit...so my only suggestion would be to buy at least 2 inches larger than your dog's neck. You can always remove a link if you have to. Otherwise though, the collar has worked out well and we have had no issues at all with it.

My dog is about 100 pounds and fits him without having to punch any new holes in the collar. You should have no problem at all with your dogs....Vic Butcher, CPA, LUTCF (Cordova, TN)

This collar has a wide adjustable size range so it should be perfect. I have it on my 8lb & 30lb dogs and its perfect for both. Adjust it down smaller once over the neck of your dog so it fits better when the leash it on. Hope this helps

Probably better for a dog over 20 lbs or so...very large collar (but extremely adjustable and made of a Teflon/plastic so easy to cut). The actual unit is about 2 1/2 inches wide though so it might be a little large for a 20 pound or smaller animal. Works great though...my yellow lab is a great learner. Didn't take more than 3 "zaps" to keep him from chasing squirrels into the street!

I am not sure. Read the description to ensure the collar size and recommended dog weight/size. Our dogs are very smal (15 lbs). It works for our dogs; collars are a little heavy but work.
