Has anyone tried using this system with a small dog??

It will trigger a dog. mine goes off when it's too windy. it also failed so I don't use it any more. You might want to look for a better quality one and one that doesn't use batteries.

My home security guys placed motion sensors lower the ground, then upside down...so the the sensor sees upward from where it's placed. This may work the same way.

I honestly wouldn't recommend this product. I had it replaced and it was defective after a day also. It would be too strong for a small dog - the spray is intense! I have a 60lb husky and it always startled him! I hope that helps.

The dog we use it with is a 60 pound dog. We tried using it on our smaller dog that was 15 pounds but found that he would run through the fence so fast it wouldn't have time to correct him. We now have a chihuahua and wouldn't even consider trying it on her. I believe 5 pounds is just too small.

We bought it for my daughters Mini Dachshund and it works with her not sure how it would work with a big lab though.

No, this training device is too large for a ten pound dog. I believe Petsafe makes a version for smaller dogs.

Yes, it works very well for my Minpin and Chihuahua. I had to add a little strap from the fastener to reach their double halter. It also works when just one is on it, and my husband walks the other dog. They weigh 8# and 10# each.

I have not, sorry, but I use it on my show pugs and it works great, mainly for whiskers, does not vibrate so much.

I have used it with my two chihuahuas very successfully. Getting them to relax and let me use it was the challenge. But it works well.

I have not tried a spray collar on my 5.5 lb morkie, but I have tried a shock collar that operates by bark, and another that operates by remote control. I don't know if it is her hair, or the pitch of her bark, but neither do a thing! She is not getting zapped. The units work on my 25 pound dog, just not her. So I am thinking of trying a new system too--static or spray. Is there any system that works on small dogs?

Since the leash attaches to the bike at a low point, you could hook it up to a smaller dog. But would it be wise to run such a small dog? I'm not familiar with mini-poodles, just don't want you to over-exert the dog. It's a good cardiovascular work out for canines and humans as well.

I'm not an expert but I would not go any smaller. My standard poodle is just a few pound smaller and it works just fine.....

I think questions is "Will it work on small dogs?" and the answer is yes. We have a 20 lb. French Bulldog who we have only used the "vibrate" on and all she has to do is hear us "test it" and she calms down.

I have a Weimariner. Tall dog. He is next to it all the time. It won't activate unless there is a body part directly above the sensor. He would have to put his head over it. Mine is a food a holic and has never done this. I would say you will have no problems.

I Have A 74Lb Dog. I Don't ThiNk I Would Use This On A Smaller dog.I Use The Tone And VibratE. I Used The 1Setting A Few Times For Correction. I Used The 2 Setting Once And It Hurt My 74Lb Dog. Basically My Dog Gets Tone And Vibrate And Thats It. I Use To Have Yorkies, I Would Never Have Use This In Them. Its Way To Big And Can't Imagine The Zap It Would Give A Small Dog, When It Made My Big Dog Cower To The Zap And Yelp.My Dog Never Ran Toward The Road Again But I Felt Horrible.

I have not had a problem with it. I have a police k9 german shepherd and it works great for him. Tiny dogs might have an issue.

I have had great success, my puppy is 30 pounds and since you can adjust the degree of stimulation (I use #3) you should be able to use it on a dog as large as 160 pounds, maybe more, it packs a punch, I tried it on my thigh and wow
