Does this work for big dogs? All I keep reading about is cats. Does it work as well as a Dogtra training collar?

I haven't used a Dogtra training collar but I don't think the size of your dog matters. They just have to touch the mat with a paw(s) not their whole body.

I do not use mine for cats. I have two dogs, one is 12 lbs and the other is 46 lbs. It works great and it only really takes one - two times for them to step on it to learn a lesson. As the details tell you, if you are using it to stop a room entry, use the bigger wider one. Again, I'm so glad I purchased this item.

I don't have a dog but after reading other comments I suppose it would work. It's strong enough to get a human's attention & works great with my cats. I'd say go for it.

The largest size is a Large and it barely works for my 140 pound Rotti, but it is the absolutely best device I have found for lifting my big dog. I have tried other items and because my dog does not have a tail they just slip off the end. This one is streched as far as it will go and it works! Be sure to line the back legs with thick fuzzy socks or sheepskin to protect your dog. The back harness will dig in and hurt your dog without added layers. Good luck.

Hi Randy,I think this tool would work really good on cats.I just tried the one i have on the little stray we have running around here.Now keep in mind that i have the one for Large dogs, but im pretty sure the smaller one will work also.I hope this helps

I bought it to charge my tablet. As to the dog training collar, my advice would be to check the charger that came with the unit. There should be a label on the side that indicates the power output. If it says 5.0v and 2000 mA (give or take) you should have no problem (assuming the connector is the same size. You might also want to consider a simple wall charger and use the USB connector that came with the unit.

I have a Dogtra system but any system should work. The different systems can't tell what kind of wire is sending the signal to the collar.

you should have no problem, I have slightly larger dogs, but I only use it to vibrate, not shock. You should try it on yourself to see how the shock works. I have had to change the collar that came with it because my dog ate the first one... once my dog knew what it is, he only needs to see it to cower. I don't keep it on him.

I have 100+lb dogs and never got to test it for cats. That's why I got it, but the dogs broke it before I activated it for a day.

I have no idea. Cats don't bark, do they? I use it on a small dog at work and it DOES work. Just curious why you'd need it for a cat..

I have a 120lb German Shepherd and have tried at least 9 different collars. The only one that worked was the Petsafe Elite Big Dog Rechargeable Collar. Works like a charm on setting 5.

Yes, it works with the same collars. We use this to keep the cat in at night. We have to make sure the dogs' collars are off before we plug it in.

The large worked great for my 17lb cat. So, I would think it would work fine for your dog.

I got the collar to calm my dog down during thunderstorms. I didn't notice any difference. My daughter said it worked wonderfully with her dogs. I don't know how it would work with dogs fighting. Maybe mimulus? Or a sedative to calm them down.

to be honestI tried it on full for my dogHe let out a little yip in response but otherwise ignored the collar. I eventually gave up. (If he is not in an enclosed area, nothing will prevent him from running around and hassling cats)

Hello,This collar worked great on my dog.However, she weighs around 13 ponds.The collar is bulky on her.I am guessing it would be too heavy for your dog.I hope this helped.Have a great day.

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.

Sorry to hear that you are having a problem. I have a Pug who just turned three in March. I purchased the collar after one episode of finding him chasing cars on highway. The collar worked from the very first time I used it. I introduced him to the collar the first time and he has learned what his limitations are. I have even let him go out without the collar on and he had learned where his restrictions are. Sorry I couldn't help.

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.
