I have a very naughty 6 month old yorkie/maltese mix who is maybe 3 lbs. Would this be too big on her?

In my humble opinion definitely Is. It is still a puppy and too young to use one of these. Wait until about a year and then maybe. I don't use the shock part , but the buzzer to make corrections, only after a voice command. The electrodes in my opinion works better on the big dogs if the buzzer doesn't work. Just use common sense and good judgement when applying anything like this. Hope this helps.

Yes, I bought this for my Yorkie that is just shy of 4lbs. She loves it and feels secure in it.

Probably, mine is an 8# Maltese/Yorkie cross. Fits fine. Didn't take hime long to figure out when the collar was on or off. He changes his behaviour accordingly.

My shih Tzu is about 12 lbs also. The small size was good for her but I had to refill it quickly so I got her the medium. Both sizes fit her mouth but anything bigger would not work. A lot would depend on how energetic your Yorkie is!

Lisa, The small should be able to work for your Yorkie as it is recommended for pets weighing 5-25 lbs.

my dog is about 7 lbs and its perfect.. Shes a Yorkshire Terrier... no bigger dog than that tho (length wise).. Its pretty thick n fluffy though.. so she could probably be twice that weight if she was just a little fat. But typically, yorkie or any little ancle biter toy dog.

Hi Michael, I got the smaller one for my maltese...but she quickly grew out of it...but she is a bigger dog at 10 lbs. I think if your pup is just 4-5 lbs...the small one would work. It is a good looking product and I enjoyed using it when my girl was a puppy. Hope this helps. I gave mine to the local shelter and they plaeend on using it for the smaller pups and kitties so they could work and still have them with them. Good Luck...Julie

My dog is a Toy maltese that weight 4 pounds and it's to big for him. I think that is a regular small

It would really depend on how small your Yorkie's neck is. It would probably accommodate just fine, but may be slightly bulky for a really small dog. You may want to find one that is a bit thinner rope so it's not too much for it's little neck :)

We have the small size one - if the construction of the large one is the same, we would probably not recommend it. We have two Yorkies, and it was great to put them in for sleeping, and for when we had to leave them alone. But the largest one is now 8 lbs. and she can knock it over if she really wants out! We still love ours tho!

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!

It's a little tight on my 7 pound little boy. It should fit your yorkie just fine. He always perks up and sashays around after I put this harness on him. Best to wait until after mud season.

They might, but it could be a bit tight in there. If they are the type that just lay down and relax it might work. I have two Maltese, about 12 lbs. each and they fit but not a lot of spare room. My friend has two Yorkies, about 6 lbs each and they have room to spare! I would suggest trying something a little bigger if the pup isn't full grown yet.

We have a 6 lb chihuahua and she fits just with room to spare. If your Yorkie is same height then I believe it should work. The only negative about the bag, I wish the straps were wider, because when carrying her for about an hour (when walking inside antique store :), it gets uncomfortab

A small fits dogs (English Cocker Spaniels) between 20 and 25 pounds. This would be too big for a yorkie poo. So, the xsmall is probably a perfect fit for your dog. (They work!!!)

Yes the size is big enough. You don't want it to be too big for your Maltese. My Shi-tzu is about 11lbs and is comfortable in it .

My one Yorkie is about 7 lbs and he does well in it. I did not find it to be unsafe and he is a puppy mill survivor scared of everything.
