To be honest, every individual dog responds differently to each reinforcement. I have had positive results with this particular product on all four of my dogs. Even my most stubborn one. However, dogs with thicker fur may not be able to feel the reinforcement stimulus. The best thing about this product is that it increases the stimulus slowly and maintains the level of response that your dog recognizes. In short, while I have had great result, love and recommend the product, you must know that just like people, each dog has it's own preferences for behavior modification. I hope this product will work as well for your pup has it has for mine.

Yes, it will work good for her. I use it on a similar size adult dog. You may have to trim her hair near where the collar touches her neck.

Absolutely. I have a weimaranier who weighs about 80 pounds and the collar was more then big enough for her.

No, the 3.0 millimeter would be a great. I have a 40 lb. mix and the size of the prongs where great on him. This should be a perfect fit on your dog just make sure it fits snugly around the neck of your dog to keep the safety aspects of collar intact.

Probably, mine is an 8# Maltese/Yorkie cross. Fits fine. Didn't take hime long to figure out when the collar was on or off. He changes his behaviour accordingly.

it would be a tight fit. bought it for my 8lb yorkie and it fits snuggly. it is a very beautiful collar.

We have about a 30 lb dog and the collar has about 8 inches left over. You should have no problem.

Honestly, I am not sure! Our Weim is now 10 mo old and about 75lbs and works just fine. But sounds like your dog is/will be much larger than Mr. Wilson. We use it set at 40 and it goes to 100. There is plenty of collar length left, so not sure how they determine what size dog its appropriate for.

Since your dog is so young, I would try a regular collar first. My dog was older and already a puller and the collar helped correct that problem.

I purchased a "small" for my 8 pound Silky Terrier. It fit relatively well for that size/weight. However, she was very bothered by the straps around her back legs/groin area and wouldn't walk. When I pulled on leash, her back end went right up in the air...so did not work out for us. A larger, heavier dog will likely be more adaptable to this style. Good luck.

If your dog is not likely to be growing into a thicker neck, I would think (but can't be certain) that the small, which claims to go up to 12" and is only 3/4" wide might be the better choice. Otherwise you will have a lot of extra loop hanging down (which dog could get caught on). I have only had experience with the 1" wide large & medium collars. Good luck to you and your canine pal!

I'd recommend this collar. I didn't think it would work well (on blue heeler) but it's worked great for 4 months (and counting) now. I only charged it about 4 times too.

There are 5 setting strengths so you should be ok but I think the collar would probably be too big for a 3 pound dog. It's just right for my 11 pound dog

I have a Rottweiler who will be one year old in two days and he is 29" tall and weighs over 100 pounds. He is 18" around the neck. sp We are using a medium for him and there's plenty of room still in the collar for him to continue to wear it for awhile. I hope this helps. Rena G

The large collar is for dogs between 80-110 pounds. I would get a medium and start training with that and then increase to a larger size as your German Shepherd grows. It's been a great collar. My stubborn lab respond very well to it.

I have an 85 lb. Akita and the 20" collar just barely fits around her neck. It is summertime and she is shaved; during the fall/winter months when her fur grows back, this will not fit her.

The medium size collar will be too big for an 8 lb puppy. You may want to buy a size small or extra small.

Oh yes he will. I tried it on me before I tried it on my puppy. It goes from one to eight. I weigh 300. I put it on four and lay it on the bottom of my leg. I almost lost control of my bladder. Anything above four hurts my dog real bad. I just want to train him not hurt him. I only use five and six when he puts my cats entire head in his mouth...sigh. I would recommend this collar.
