Is it too heavy for a chichuahua

The latch is pretty hefty. I use it on a dog that weighs and 35# and one the weighs 50#. On any other larger breed it would work fine. I do not use it on my 10# dachshund; the latch would drag on the ground. Something less substantial, and less expensive, would be more appropriate, unless you have a giant chihuahua.

It is made of durable nylon. I think you would be able to use this lead with a small dog. The strength of the lead is in the material and not in the weight of the lead.

i would say yes. The clip is pretty heavy plus all the material makes its a bit heavy and probably too much for your dog.

I am sooty to say it is too large. I continue to love this lead and in fact use it every day. But it is a big lead for big dogs.

Yes, I think it would be too heavy to a tiny little dog. Again, this leash is not to be used as an actual walking or tie-out leash. This leash (Called a Long Line or Long Leash) is for training purposes. It is good to use in doing "recalls" with your dog. Recalls are training session where you put your dog on a Long Leash like this, let the dog wander away from you and then you call out his/her name: "Spot Come!". The idea is your dog is wandering and distracted and might not come when you call. The hope is he will come and you then reward him with a special yummy treat. Then you let him wander off again and call him back. And a Long Leash is also good if you have pond or lake and want to see if your can swim out in the water. With the long leash on, if your dog has difficulty swimming back, you are in control of him and can pull him back in.

I fit in it 2kg chihuahua just fine and comfy but I'm thinking that a bit bigger animal might be a bit squeezed inside. I have purchased it hoping to fit two chihuahuas of 1.5-2kg inside but it didn't work all that well even tho chewes love to snuggle together.

I have a teacup chihuahua but I'm sure anything around 15lbs. My dog is around 6 pounds. Hopefully this helped. I love this stroller and so does my dog:))))

It would probably depend on how small. It was too big for my dad's Chihuahua. It also might be a bit heavy for small dogs.

I don't think it's overly heavy. Wouldn't plan on backpacking with it. But, it can be carried with one hand.

I would say it would be too heavy for a teacup dog or very small dog. We used it on our puppy when she was about 15-20 lb and it was fine. I have to say that it worked like a charm. If she starts to bark, I only have to get it out of the box and she stops.

I WENT TO LIMA PERU WITH MY MALTI-TZU AND SHE HAS 13 pounds and I used different ways to use it. Carrier, backpack.The wheels help much.

It's a lil heavy but I'm a big guy so it doesn't bother me. It depends on what you're going to use it for and how you carry it.

It is absolutely safe for a Yorkie. I carried an 10 lb. Chihuahua in mine for months. I did put a folded towel in the bottom as he sat down so far he liked to be a little higher. However, I now carry a very long legged Chihuahua/Terrier mix that is around 7 lbs and he does fine. My shoulder would get tired due to the weight, but it has never torn out a bit, it is very well put together.

Yes definitely. It's a beast. Much heavier and bigger than I thought. I like it a lot.

Just my opinion... NO. The collar unit is probably to big and heavy for a chihuahua, and the electric shock might be too much (as in dangerous) for such a tiny dog.

It is heavy, so if he/she would be able to handle it yes. Otherwise it might be overkill.

It is pretty big and heavy. I bought it for my wife and had to send it back for this very reason.

It's not heavy. If you're worried about 4lbs, you probably should not be cutting trees down. A limb weighs quite a bit more

The hooks that attach to the collars are as heavy as any other leash, but i think the center ring that pivots for both leashes may be heavier, but still within acceptable limits. I walk a Tibetan spaniel with it and he had no issue at 12, 15 or 20+ lbs.

No. My chihuahua is 5 pounds and they flew off her paws. Gave them away to friend with bigger dog.

No, it is lightweight. Well made but I wouldn't think it would be heavy enough considering that it is not that big. A larger one might work.
