Our dog is a Australian Cattle Dog mix he does have a thick coat but not as thick as a husky and we have never had a problem with the collar. Good luck!

I have a Norwegian Elkhound and she has long hair like huskies. I have to put the Dogtra very tight on her and she only feels it at very high level. My dog is medium size, if I had a husky I would buy the more expensive Dogtra that comes with longer prongs and would be more suitable for larger dogs. No, I wouldn't buy this one for a husky.

I use it for my great dane, who has very short hair. The prongs are less than an inch long, so you might consider looking at the prong extensions they sell separately. Great product for me!!

The collar will work on any breed. The key is to make sure to slide it back and forth a bit to make correct skin contact. If needed, you can purchase longer contacts.

The prongs work on my 90lb lab who has a lot of loose neck skin. I think some people are scared of tightening it down too hard. You need to tighten it to where you can barely get your finger between the prong and neck. When their heads are down sniffing the ground the collar will succumb to gravity and not make contact otherwise. You can buy longer prongs from the company later if the ones on there are too short. The collar and remote have worked great for us for over a year now.

Yes it will, I bought if for the same reason, Golden Retriever, this machine is really good dealing with all the hair. I'm very happy with it and can recommend it without any doubt.

I use it on my West Highland White terrier when he has long hair in the winter. Easy peasy...

No I would not, I'd recomend this for maybe a golden retriever its very large an only works with really long hair

Yes it works great on long hair dogs keep dryer on low speed. Brush out your dog completely before you wash it. Use a brush he likes then a very wide tooth comb to be Sure they Are out. If you can do a hands free dry, use a brush and blow and dry. Blow in one direction to prevent tangling

I'm not completely sure my bichon's fur is kept short for the most part when it is longer I don't have any problems. I love this harness and now own it for all 3 of my dogs

I would say yes if you have a well mannered Husky but if he/she would pull at all to something then you might be in trouble. I have a Heeler and he pulled once and it actually came loose, not off but enough that he got at what he wanted! so consider his behavior

Yes... I have a Husky that blows her coat twice a year... the Cat and Dog has so much power it can sometimes pick up hair so fast it clogs... which is easy to fix... the extra power means the wand works great, too.

I know they come in different sizes and for short and long hair. I have the large for short haired dogs. I have a Westie as well, and I use it gently on her, and we always manage to get some out. I know they make them for cats, and mabe for long haired cats, which may be closer to the kind of hair your dog has. Hope this helped.

I have a Shih Tzu and her hair gets very long. I am also very familiar with the Cocker Spaniel coat as I have owned one as well. Yes it will work fine. Go slow in the direction of the hair, not against the direction. Keep the blades moderately oiled. Also make sure you detangle any possible knots and brush thoroughly before you cut. You will be fine.

I use the short hair tool for my black lab mix. That was the suggested one from furminator when I was buying.

I don't know if this will help, and our dog is not long haired. But, my experience is really that these slide on pretty easily, and the most difficult part is having the double-straps themselves not getting tangled up. If your dog tolerates having booties put on, then I think you should be able to maneuver keeping their hair out of the way of the velcro straps, provided that you have the right size booties. The booties keep their shape well, and honestly these are the best velcro booties we've tried. One more suggestion: On the UltraPaws website, you can purchase these singly, so you just pay $6/$7 for one bootie and try it out... ? I hope this helps!

It worked well on our Aussie. She also has a lot of hair. We use the attachments, blue and sold separate. It makes for a nice hair cute. We did a winter hair cut also.

Yes. The collar is meant to be trimmed down to fit the neck of the dog you intend to use it on. I use the collars on our following 2 dogs: 1) Female Husky, 55 lbs - Lots of hair on neck but have not had an issue making contact with skin. 2) Male Black Lab, 85 lbs. These are not the largest of dogs when compared to a Great Dane, but I believe there is more than enough collar length to accommodate larger breeds. Dogtra does make a collar specifically for smaller breeds and we have one for our Boston Terrier. I hope I have been able to answer your question.

I am using this one on a schnauzer that has a shaggy coat. I suspect it would work. The unit is quite effective on our dog.

I used it on my adult great dane with no problems. He has short hair so i don't know how well it would work on a dog with long hair. The collar is plenty long enough for him but im not sure it would be with long fur.

I would recommend it for any long haired pet. It buzzes a little...but they all do.
