any one try this on a 7 to 10 lbs chihuahua?

No, but it works great with a 9 lb miniature dachshund. (With a poise pad attached)

Thank all of you for your answers. I did buy this and if anyone else has a chihuahua it does work very well. :-)

I have a 7 lb toy Chihuahua that has no problem. However the 3 "walls" freaked him out so I had to remove those--hope this helps

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 this shock collar & it works well for my 30 plus pound Aussie but I'm thinking it would be to large for your small dog & it might be to heavy for a small 10 pound dog if it did fit its neck.

Yes. I have a chihuahua and a pom and they both love theirs. They are both 8 pounds +.

I would not use on anything over 10 pounds. We use it for our tea cup chi. It does have brakes but not idea for larger dogs

It worked great for my 10 year old dog...F.Y.I just had to place some scent on it to give him the right idea.good luck!

This works with Chihuahuas I get a reaction when I press it. You will have to try to see if it will work for your own dog.

Since you supply your own cable or leash, this would work fine for dogs of any size, including chihuahuas. The swivel moves very, very freely so even a tiny dog will be able to move about without effort in any direction up to the length of the line you choose to connect.

I've tried the collar with our mix (about 40 lbs, supposed to be Shiba Inu in her as well), but it didn't work. However, not with regards to fitting but with regards to not having her pull so much. I've sent it back and got full refund.

The X-Small may be too small. You may need a larger unit. My chihuahua was less than 5 pounds and it was too heavy for him. He was 17. The unit was very well made and I kept it in case I ever came across someone who may need it, but my dog never used it. He was just way too little. If your dog is strong, which 25 pounds sounds like he can handle the weight, the unit is very sturdy. I hope this helps. Good luck.

I think the bites would be a bit too large for a chihuahua. I don't know if they make a smaller bite size in this variety, they may. Perhaps you could get a small bag of this somewhere and give it a try that way?. It's such a great food. Hope this helps. Of course, you could always smash it to bits that suit your furry family member.

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.

I would get the next size up. I use mine on a 7# chihuahua and tho there is extra room it isn't a lot.Lori

I think this is probably your best bet. I have a chihuahua who is about 8 lbs and this fits as snugly around his waist as I'd like. Best of luck to you in potty training land!

I don't think so. I used it on two 10lb pups and even at its tightest setting it was a bit large. I hope that helps.
