I have a small 8 pound dog. Would this work?

Yes, it should work. You just need to remember not to allow any slack or they can slip out, but not so tight it chokes them. The only reason I use slip leads is because I have a chi mix who can slip a collar no matter how snug it is. For most of my dogs I don't need slip leads but for a couple of them, I do.

It slips to adjust neck size, but it may be a little heavy for an 8 pounder. My dog is 16 pounds.

I purchased a "small" for my 8 pound Silky Terrier. It fit relatively well for that size/weight. However, she was very bothered by the straps around her back legs/groin area and wouldn't walk. When I pulled on leash, her back end went right up in the air...so did not work out for us. A larger, heavier dog will likely be more adaptable to this style. Good luck.

Sorry I took so long to get back to your question. I would think it's a little to hard for a small dog. Hope this helps and good luck.

I have an 8 lb. little dog and he has a good amount of space to move around . I don't think there would be enough space for your four dogs at once though.

There is plenty of room in mine for my 8 pound dog. She actually really loves it. You really don't want them sliding around in it. It should fit snug much like the human baby carriers do. Also, your dog's head needs to come over the top so he can enjoy the ride!

No. My dog is 88lbs and it does not fit him. I could not return it. The seller ignored me when I emailed.

If this is the Small, no it will not fit. I find that it fits up to ~11-13 lbs comfortably depending on the build of the dog.

It's fine for my eleven pound dachshund but I'm having trouble getting it to work on my eight pound Pom. I have a collar that I've put on a collar that is smaller than it one it came on and I'm trying to get the connectors to work right. The collar that comes with it is way too big. So...I haven't figured out the right combination yet to see if I can get it to work. If I do, I'll post it to this same inquiry.

Yes, it should work. I have a 15 lb Cocker Spaniel and it worked perfectly!

Thank you for your question! This system is designed to be used for pets weighing at least 8 pounds.

The only way to make it smaller would be to cut it off at one of the stabilizer rings. I am not sure how effective that would be, but it might work. My dog was still a puppy -- 6 months old when we got it for him. He had never seen one and went right for it. He loves it. He is about 19 1/2 pounds now and about 13 inches high at the shoulders. Good luck. Sounds like your pup is adventuresome! Good luck.

Silvia, I don't think this would work as well on a small dog with a small snout. I got one for my golden retriever puppy, and the bigger she grows, the better this works! I suggest seeing if they make a smaller model

Yes. I think the whole unit would be too big for your dog. The shock the collar gives off may be way too much for dog. My dog is a 42lb greyhound/boxer mix and the shock really gets his attention. 97% of the time the vibration feature is enough to get his attention.I would not use this collar on your small dog.

I have a chocolate lab that is pretty short and stocky...weighting about 90lbs...so the pad in the front helps disribute the weight....so it should work. Hope that was helpful

I haven't but for small dogs less than 30lbs I think it would work fine. If you have a persistent dog or jumper, it could knock over 1 or 2 isolated panels, so use more for stability. With all 8 panels, you will have a huge doggie corral.

We purchased ours for an 8lb puppy. I believe that the instructions say its for dogs 8lbs and up. The collar can be made smaller or bigger, you just have to be careful of the antenna located in the collar. It worked well with our puppy. Also there are different settings for the strength of the shock so make sure it's not on the highest setting when you first try it. You can work your way up to find the setting that works best.

If you have two small breeds, yes. My dog about 80 lbs, and there isn't room for another dog yet she is not cramped. Does that help?
