Would you recommend this for a smaller dog like 20lbs jack Russell strong willed

Hello Kay, I do think that this device will be helpful with your Jack Russell, though I strongly suggest ensuring that he/she already understands the commands that you are trying to enforce prior to using the collar. Please note that the collar is fully adjustable and should fit just fine. I am also guessing that the built in bark limiting functionality will also be extremely helpful in training your K9. The manual states that the bark limiter can take up to a minute to reach the voltage necessary to prevent the dog from barking as it starts off low and works its way up as the dog continues to bark. This feature has worked well for me already as long as you ensure that the prongs are over the dogs vocal cords.

I wouldn't. It seems the bark limiter just doesn't work at all. It will just be a problem for you I would think.

Our dogs are 20 lbs...you will have to refer to specs...they make for small and large dogs I believe. Dogs love it!

No, it would not be too small for your dog. 150lb. Giant Schnauzer an 50lb Welsh Terrier both use this toy without any issues. There are smaller parts but you should supervise and play with your dog when using the more advanced parts of the game/puzzle.

It would be way too small for a 20 pound dog. Additionally, I couldn't recommend this product because it is very poor quality. I was told I could return it, however, the company never followed through.

I think he'll be just fine, especially since he is a puppy. One of my dogs is just over 20 pounds and she does great with them. More important than the size of the dog would be the condition of his teeth and the strength of his bite. Since yours is a puppy, these may work until he needs the larger size. Another option is to buy the larger size and just give him half a stick. They break easily.

I definitely think it will last you a few years. My jack russells managed to jump over it easily at 6 months old so if your dog is a jumper, you might want to reconsider

I think that this would work all right for your dog. I have a dog that weights about 25 lbs and it works well. You will need to set the shock setting very low. I have the shock set on 20 and works very well.

i would say no right off the bat but how small is small? there are weight limits- i wouldn't put it on any dog below 25 pounds

I have a sheltie, and it does pull his under coat out very well. I don't know for sure about a Jack Russell, but think it would be ok. You might check with someone else who has a short haired dog. Laurie

Our Jack Russell weighs about 30 lbs. We got a small for him. He's not a tiny dog. I consider him small/medium sized.

I had a Jack Russell and I used the small one for a dog, she had asthma but it extended her life about another 3-4 years.............

We have 5 dogs that we put these collars on and the smallest one is 45 lbs. Based on what it looks like on her I would guess that the receiver would be too large for a 20 to 30 lb dog. The collar, itself, would be no problem because it does have holes all the way around it but my concern would be the size of the receiver.

I've only used it for kittens, and I have no experience of Jack Russells. It seems to be pretty sturdy. I don't know how much they dig or chew, but it was great for me.

It should be okay, def smaller than I expected but I think a 20 lb dog would be okay if not too long or overweight, not sure what kind of carrier you have, very round not oblong....

I would reccomend it for your Jack Russell terrier. It's a safe and very decent brush. No de shedding brush needed. It De sheds and groom under coat well. Love the brush

Bought this for my 11 lb. JRT. I must have bought the smallest one, but don't really recall because it was almost a year ago. The tension was way too tight for her, she couldn't pull it out at all. It was actually comical - she just stood there and looked at me like "what the heck"! I had to return it. Probably be ok for a 35 lb dog though. Good luck!

Don't think this particular toy would be a good pick for a smaller dog. I purchased for a 7 month old german shepherd and she occasionally trips over it when she is dragging it around the house since this is a really long toy. If sold with a shorter body you would probably be ok.
