I don't think the toy is too small but there are some small pieces that your dog could swallow.

No, it would not be too small for your dog. 150lb. Giant Schnauzer an 50lb Welsh Terrier both use this toy without any issues. There are smaller parts but you should supervise and play with your dog when using the more advanced parts of the game/puzzle.

I think that if your dog is a mellow one it would be fine, but if he is hyper for food, he might do some damage. You only use it under supervision.

i think it is more dependent on the intelligence of the dog, rather than the size-will he/ she be able to lift it- yes, but, it's about them being able to figure out how to get the treats- my puppy will play it a few times in a row- i change the location of the treats- he loves it- he gets excited as soon as i pick up the box. he's a chewer still, so i haven't been able to get to the second level yet- he'll eat the plastic bones- but it is challenging & fun for him.

This would be a good toy for your dog. The way it is designed all dog sizes can play with it using wither feet or snout. Some of her toys/puzzles are smaller. I think this is one of the larger ones. Enjoy! My dog goes crazy over it. My current dog is smaller but I know my 150lb Giant Schnauzer would have loved it and had no problem with size :-)

Maybe. The over all size is about 14inches diameter, the openings may be too small for his mouth. Though the bones are only about 2 inches, maybe could be swallowed. My dog is only teeny pounds and it is perfect for her.

One of my pekingese is 10lbs now and he barely fits. I wouldn't get this if your dog is gonna get bigger than 10 lbs.

I have a 5lb yorkie and it's prob bigger than he needs. It's a good size for him; however a larger dog can use it but prob won't be able to go on the same pad as many times as my dog does. Hope this helps.

It works great for that. I have a Bernese Mountain Dog, same issue. Doesn't seem to bother her at all.

Honestly, I am not sure! Our Weim is now 10 mo old and about 75lbs and works just fine. But sounds like your dog is/will be much larger than Mr. Wilson. We use it set at 40 and it goes to 100. There is plenty of collar length left, so not sure how they determine what size dog its appropriate for.

I read the descriptions from another site and made a determination and hoped for the best. I made a good guess. I figured a little larger was better than too small. My dog is almost 50 pounds and I got the Jumbo. He loves the thing and doesn't seem to tire of taking out the squirrels. I never had to use treats to help him figure it out, but you could do that.

Can I ask what you ended up getting for your Berner. We have a Berner also and the xl at 4" seems a little large. I don't want them so tight it is uncomfortable though. She is 100 lbs and getting weak in the hips.

It looks like the small size would work. It's supposed to be for dogs from 5 to 25 lbs. Here's a link to a silver one: PetSafe Gentle Leader Headcollar, Small, Silver

Hello Jill! Did you end up purchasing this product? I too have a 45-50 lb dog and would love to purchase this for her. However, in the previous answers the people who were kind enough to answer seemed to miss the fact that their dogs were roughly double the size of our dogs and because it fit their 80-100 pound dogs doesn't mean it will fit ours. I'd love to hear whether it worked or not if you purchased it!

This item may be too small for a 16 lb dog. My chi/mix fits well in it and he is under 12 lbs.

I'd get the mini for a 20lb dog...I think? I got one that was 6'' by 6" and it's way too big for my 10lb Pom but perfect for a Rhodesian ridgeback I walk...she loves it

Your Pom would need a smaller size. Unless you would plan on adding a human pad like Poise for extra protection. I used this size for my dog and he weighed about 19lbs.

Hi my dog is a sm jack Russell weighs about 15 lbs & it fits perfectly. I feel if he gained 1-2 lbs it won't fit. Hopes this helps. I really like it!

Best for small dogs. My dog is 16 pounds and I rarely use the home...only for discipline. And when he was 12 pounds the base was not strong enough to carry him. It is a very nice item for small dogs.

I would think this is just a little small for such a big dog. I use mine on a Sheltie and a Springer Spaniel. It works fine for them but for your "BIG" gal you want to get a larger size.

I think it would be a tight fit for an 11 lb. dog especially on a hike. My toy schnauzer was 5 lbs and she just fit and kept moving around to get comfortable. In carrying her i carried her in the front and then on my back. It pulled me forward when I tried positioning her in the front. I opened all zippers but I really question an 11 lb. dog being comfortable.
