My 6.5 lb. Maltipoo just wears a harness when he goes outside, nothing inside. Will the disc work if it's not on in the house?

It must be worn 24/7. I use a small collar for the disc since I use a halter on my Maltipoo too. It must never be taken off even when groomed. If you go to the company site you'll find all the info which people really need to read before using to insure sucess. It takes 7 to 10 days to activate it also.

No the disc has to be on the animal's body pretty much at all times. If it is off for more than 20 minutes you basically have to start over with it creating a protective energy field for the pet. I crate my dogs so I actually bought break away collars so that I could the tag can stay on them, but they remain safe.

After a couple of months, when I was sure the chemicals I had been using had worn off, I have fleas again even though my dog has worn the pet protector without fail, even during baths. I would not spend the money on another one.

My shi tzu poodle wears a harness also for on leash, but...you must get your dog a small collar to wear 24/7. the disc needs to be on all of the time, even during baths and grooming. Sassy has worn her disc since Feb this year and NO FLEAS to date. Dog has to be totally without fleas before you put it on. Then it takes 7 days for it to start working.

This did not work for me, I bought 3 of them and had them on all the time for 2 months and they all had a lot of ticks on them. I would not waste my money on this product!!!!

Once on, it's to stay on. But my pom got groomed today and they took it off to trim her then back on. It's been on her since June, so far so good. That's all I use. It says it's good for 4 years. I plan to keep it on her at all times, off a bit when groomed.

No, which is a shame BC its a great harness. I recommend it as a pack though, my chap Chester loves it.

sorry,cant rally comment as i dont have any dogs next door,but it does seem to have made a difference with my dogs,the secret is to turn it on at lots of different times,when your in as well as when your out so they never no when it's on

I think a harness is best for an energetic dog especially if s/he won't be closely supervised. My experience is that the dog is less likely to get tangled, injured or free with a harness as opposed to collar

No!!! This harness does not prevent your dog from pulling. Don't waste the money.

I've had no problems in this regard. The buggy moves freely and well. My dog first was afraid of it but soon got used to it. She went blind a few months ago and walking her is no longer an option. You may have gotten a defective unit. I suggest you return it for one that works. Good luck. I love mine.

no problem as of yet had it for 4 days. i have a husky a corgi mix and a shibu inu and they all use it as well as play and jump all over it.

The harness eventually slips off my dog if I leave it on him. It's not really designed to stay on.

It's a training issue. My 6 pound Maltipoo has learned that using it is superior to going out in the rain or in very wet grass.

Yes it works great. We use under our deck stairs. That keeps on dogs on the deck and in our back yard. We also use a paw away disc in the house. One collar for both.

My dog is maybe 25 lbs lighter and the harness is slightly large on her. It's very adjustable, though, so it might work for you. Why don't you ask the manufacturer. It's really worth getting; makes a huge difference helping the dog up and down stairs, for example.

Depends on how big the puppy is, you may also need some harness and dog lift straps! Good luck!

My dog was a champion puller. I only put it on when we go walking. It fixes the pulling so I'm not sure what wearing it all day would help with, but I don't see any reason why it would be an issue. The straps have a lamb skin pad that cushions the 'armpit' area to keep the straps from irritating his skin. You would have to be canine Houdini in order to skip out of this thing.

My dog is a Maltese, so she was not able to move it around. I also connected it to her crate, but I had to use the divider that came with her crate to close the opening on the top because her crate was not that tall. It works great for me, just make sure you connect the crate with no openings. I left an opening one day and she got out and had the entire house to herself.

I have mine as a safety precaution for my dog...She is on retractable leash w/harnesses when we go trail walking.

My best suggestion would be to buy one of the doggie booster seats/ beds that have an opening in the back for the seatbelt attachment to fit through. Therefore, when the dog circles around before he lays down, his feet would not touch the release. Hope this helps!

Mine came with the radio/ receiver cat collar, and works great! It would work with a dog receiver collar too. It's my understanding that their products are interchangeable. I'm not sure what disc you are asking sbout, but my indoor fence is a disc that broadcasts a repel boundary about 6' around it. Keeps kitty out of areas where he shouldn't be. I hope this helps!
