can this be used with a puppy?

Let me revise my previous answer. If you leave the puppy alone and it likes to chew leashes I would not suggest it. It is well made but can be chewed through.

Depends on the puppy. Yorkie, probably not. We used it on our mixed breed pup starting at about 16 weeks old (she is now 55 lbs.) to safely run around and it was fine. Being klutzy and crazy at that age she sometimes got it tangled up. it is LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG and strong!

You could but it would depend on the size of your puppy. If your puppy is very tiny and a tiny breed, I believe this leash would be too "heavy". It would still be worth a try however. This leash a excellent training tool and great for recalls (letting your puppy walk/run away from you and once away you call his/her name and your dog comes to you). Excellent quality.

Yes it can. I'm using it on my 60 pound Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix and it works very well.

Probably not. The weighing surface is approximately 8" X 6" and is flat. Guess it depends on the size and breed of the puppy (but there are no sides to contain a wiggly puppy).

Probably not. It's not very heavy and can easily be pushed over or the individual sections can become separated. It's absolutely great for small dogs and puppies. If a medium or large dog wants out, it will get out. Hope that helps.

Yes I'm afraid it may. It is more suited to a small puppy. It is sturdier when you only use 4 panels but then it is really small. I used it for a Mastiff puppy but only to put her in while I was cooking dinner or something. We crated her in a pen when we were leaving the house because of it not being sturdy for a larger puppy. Hope that helps!

I would not put it on a puppy, especially when they are not even 1 year old. Also, my Maltese is 6lbs and although it worked liked a charm, its too big for her. That said, only get this when training fails. However, it's usually easier/better to train them when they are puppies. I never did and it was difficult to have a barking dog (especially at night!). But this product DID work and I put a review on it (see Gong Joo Owner) for the first time bc we can now sleep at night!

Yes! My puppy isn't too attach. We took it from him to wash it and he was fine. It's cold where we are that's why we use it. If we don't use the toy, we use a little blanket.

Yes. There's a tether strap that attaches to the dog's collar. You adjust it so it's short so the dog can't jump out of the seat. My puppy enjoys sitting high and being able to look out the window.

Sure. Of course, if you are talking about a Great Dane or Mastiff, you might want them to have only two feet on at once. My ten-week old German Shepherd was using it tonight while chewing a bone. Although I originally bought this for my own balance (recovering from being knocked over by an SUV), I felt it could also be used to develop my new dog's knowledge of her rear end.

Yes it should work. You can barley touch it and it will shock your hand. It also has a low setting that should be perfect for a small dog

not really. should only be used with a leash. give and take gently. it should never be left on dog if your not walking him or doing some training. hope this helps

ABSOLUTELY! We used one for our yorkie for over 8 months. You will have to use the top with him becauseJack Russell's can JUMP!

Sure. Not really for big dogs though.. I use my for my little 6 lb Papillon. He can't jump over it or push it like bigger dogs or puppies can.

Yes it can. We have used it for many many years. However, it MUST be diluted to the proper strength and it is NOT water soluble. So you must buy a solution to suspend it in for measure. Especially for small dogs.

Yes, it would work. I have a standard poodle and an 8lb toy. It might be just a bit heavy, but you can set it up so that it doesn't pull on your little friend.

I would say yes, I put my 5 pound pomeranian on it and he does just fine--the hardware may be a bit large for him, depending on his collar--you may want to change the connector.
