Is this too much for a 9 pound dog?

No I use it on my 6 lb dog and you can adjust the shock up and down. Usually after they figure out what will happen you only need to use the tone buttton and they respond nicely.

My chihuahua is 10 lbs. and it's fine. I also have a 4 lb. chihuahua....I would not use it on her. Hope this helps. =)

My dog is 11 lbs. Except for once, I've only used the tone function which works great. Before I put it on her, I tried it on my own leg & it was just a tickle (it was set at a very low level). I don't even have to put it on her now because the sound from across the room helps her modify her behavior.

I use it on my 10lbs dog so I would say no. I highered a trainer to help me in using is and actually never needed the shock part, just the tone since my dog responded so well to it. Hope that helps.

To be honest we barely used it. Our dog has a collar for an electric door and fence and adding yet another collar was too much. I think you can adjust the intensity. The first time she yelped. I would start at the lowest intensity and work my way up so as to use the lowest level possible. You will be able to tell that your dog noticed something going on, but didn't flinch or yelp. Hope this helps.

No, you can turn the electrical shock way down, or just use the sound. We get the desired response from just the sound with our dog.

Yes I believe it would be too heavy, but I also got a very light one when my dog was a puppy, and think it would be fine for your dog.

My dog is a Miniature Schnauzer/Chihuahua mix and it is perfect for her. My dog weighs about 9 pounds.

My dog is heavy (120 lbs) and about 8-9 years old. She loved jumping over the bar, but it made her arthritis worse. I read (later) that overweight dogs shouldn't do that. I didn't try any of the other stuff and I'm not sure how tall Leah is so I can't really answer for the rest of the stuff. I gave the set to a friend with a smaller dog and her dog loved it all and even slept inside the tube.

Hi, It might be okay, my toy Havanese is 9 pounds and did not have any problems. However, if your Poodle likes to turn around before he or she poops, there could be a problem because the unit is a bit narrow. My Havanese doesn't turn around, but my friend's dog is 12 pounds and likes to turn, which could be a problem - I guess. I can say that it took him a while to get used to the unit, but after a few trials, my friend's dog got used to it! Good Luck.

my 25 pound dog yes, my 9 pound dog no. If you have a 9ish pound dog KONG makes great mini tennis balls.

No. My dog is 3 pounds and it's perfect I wouldn't want a larger one nor a smaller one

I have a shorkie, she is about 9 pounds and has plenty of room in this crate. (Yorkie and ShihTzu mix)

My cat is just over 9 pounds and she fit -- but she hated the carrier and I felt it was too small for her. Your dog would likely not be able to move around much at all, which might be okay if that's what you prefer. I would say it's a gamble!

That would be pushing the limit. My Pomchi is only nine pounds so he has plenty of room. The little French Bulldog at 21 would probably fit but I don't know how comfortable it would be for him.

No I would measure your dogs leg and check the sizes available. The length of the one I got looks like it would be way too log for a 9lb dog

My dog is a 9 pound min pin and she burrows quite nicely in there. The bed is approximately two feet around. I also stuff a small blanket in there that she re-arranges. The dog in the picture of the pet cave looks to be about 20 pounds.

My 9 lb chihuahua fits in here well, with plenty of move around space. A 11 lb yorkie should fit perfectly.

Yes, I think 9 is too big. My kids have been driving this since they were 3. The 5 yr old still loves it, but I think 9 is too old.

I used the recommended amount for my dog. He is a German Shepherd 9 month old pup. He BROKE the crate and managed to escape a large metal crate. Its a miracle he didn't harm himself. I returned the product the next day.

While it's not really that heavy, it might just be way too big for a dog that size. Hope this helps.

My Boston Terrier is 12 pounds - she did very well in the carrier, it was not stressed at all. It could handle probably another 5 pounds or so. I don't know if I would "stuff" an animal into it that was too much bigger, keeping the comfort of the animal in mind, but I believe the carrier is made well enough to accommodate that weight.
