Can I use the 16 inch collar and take links out or is another size recommended, my dog's neck is 12 inches?

Yes, you can. The links are able to be added or removed according to your dog's neck size and can be adjusted to fit properly as your dog grows.

Yes, links are removable. You can also buy a pack of extras to add if needed. Save the old ones you remove, because if you have a tendency to always open the same one, it will lose its tightness and might need to be replaced.

my dog's neck is 15" and i took a link out to fit her perfectly. you might consider a smaller size if available. good luck with your pooch.

I would suggest going by the length from the ear to the shoulder because the collar is very rigid and will hurt the dog's ears if it's too long. The width around the neck can be adjusted somewhat with the Velcro closing.

my dog has a 22 inch neck and I ordered him the one that says it adjusts to 23 inches (I think the Large)...it was too small. Luckily a neighbor with the same collar gave us an extra link in order to make it fit...so my only suggestion would be to buy at least 2 inches larger than your dog's neck. You can always remove a link if you have to. Otherwise though, the collar has worked out well and we have had no issues at all with it.

There is a cm measurement with the description. My dog has about 16 inch neck size and it fit he just right. Collar is adjustable, can go smaller but not much bigger than the 16 inches

Yes, my dog is very small (13 1/2 pounds) and the collar can be adjusted and the excess length cut off if you choose to do so.

I would recomend Large. My dog had a 19' neck and the large fit great with room to grow. They are really nice collars.Hope this helps!

My dog weighs 115 pounds and there is plenty of length for him. I don't think you should have any problems. I got the orange collar on him

I used it on a 14lb dog. The collar adjusted down to fit. 8lb? Not sure. You can take the unit off the collar that I comes with and put it on another collar if you want. It just has to be as wide (I think 1/2 inch?)

They come in different sizes, my dog is a Shepard pit mix with a 12" neck. The size I got seemed to work. I honestly don't what the size range was for my dog, but it is a clean fit. My guess if they have a larger size try that. How ever the way it fits on the collar, that gap will ride under his neck.Esp for stocky dog.

I just went onto the manufacturer's website and the large collar is for dogs over 18lbs. Hope that helps.

I am answering this with my limited knowledge of how large the links are in the small collar. Just order the smallest collar and you can very easily remove links to fit her. I just recently used my collar for the first time and it was so nice to not have my lab mix dog pull !!!

My French bulldog has a 14" neck and the collar did not fit - didn't even reach end to end around her neck. I think the collar would still fit too snug on a dog with a 12" neck because it appears that the longest notch setting on the collar is approximately 11".

There are 18 inch collars available (they are smaller) and are cheaper. As long as the dog is older than 3 months it can be used. Hope this helps.

All pincher collars do (or should) have the option of buying additional clips to expand the size. The collar should be close to, but not tight around the dog's neck. Too loose can hurt the dog. The object is to stop the pulling, not punish for it. Put it around your wrist taught and sqeeze. That is all that should happen. Put it around your wrist loose and yank. You will understand how tight it should be.

You will. Break your dog's neck if you use just the collar. A harness is the safe and recommended way to use this. Check with your vet or read the cautions.

I bought my collar for one of my dogs who weighs about 15 lb. I don't know what her neck size isbut it fit her just fine with adjustment. I think it would probably fit a 14 in. neck ok.

The product description on one of these (medium/large) collar lists medium neck size 16-19" and large neck size 20-24". I believe my boyfriend and I use the large one on our two big dogs, both weighing in close to eighty pounds. It depends on the size of your dog and his neck.
