I have a small beagle and a terrier. Would it be too large a unit for them on their collars?

My collars are used on my hunting beagles. It may look a little big but it does not weigh that much. I have to use the last hole in the collar, due to the GPS antenna on top, on my smaller females but they have never lost one in the brush. My beagles are 12 1/2" to 14" at the shoulders. The DC40 might be required for the terrier since they usually have smaller heads than a beagle.

Get DC 40 for your dog -lighterI use DC 50 for my pointers but for beagle 40/swedish hunter

could be - we use it with larger dogs like pointers or Deutsch Drahthaar. They dont love it in the beginning, trying to shake it off, but then get used to it. Would be worth trying

The dogs I use these collars on are from 12-14". I did have to trim off some of the collar. I have both the dc40 and 50. Usually I put the 40 on smaller dog, but overall they both for all my dogs and have not lost any collars yet. Great product also! Works extremely well!!

I don't know that you can't; but, due to size, I don't think you would want to. This collar will be so big that I don't think you or the dog will be happy very long. Believe me, this collar is for big unrully dogs only in my opinion. Even if you chaged the strap part to something smaller, the electronic box part is still way to big for a small dog.

It's probably not too heavy but may be a little big if their necks are small. The collar is adjustable but it is a 2inch x 3 inch block.

One of my dogs is a terrier mix about 6-8 pounds and the collar is a little bulky but it worked like a charm.

It would probably be a bit too bulky for your 5lb. Chihuahua. It has a strap that has been thread through 2 plastic arms and around the terminals, so I am going to say that attaching this item to another collar would probably not work well. I'm not completely sure on any of this, just going off how the collar is designed and pictures of a 5 lb. chihuahua on google.

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

Yes no problem. The collar is adjustable. You may not be able ro get it real tight but it works on my small dog about that size.

I have a smaller terrier and it's a little bulky but not heavy for the dog, collar goes as small as u need it and u can cut excess down if u want, it comes with small studs to replace the Larger Ones if needed

Yes. I actually would suggest this rather than the smaller version. I have a 40lb beagle mix and this size works for her. You will need to remove multiple links to fit your dog's neck, but I would still get the bigger link size.

I wouldn't recommend this collar for such small dogs. The shocking unit is pretty big and would take up too much space on their little necks.

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.

Yes, I have three dogs. 12, 50, and 80 lbs. The unit works very well. Collar is a little big for the 12 pounder but it works. Seperate extra collar is kind of pricey but so are vet bills!

the clips that attach the leader to their collars is very small but it sounds like the collars on your dogs are small so they will probably attach just fine. my dogs, boxers 60 lbs collars, did not fit into the clip.

I have a pure breed black lab, and a pure breed cocker. I have had NO problems with the system with either dog. Once the dogs know it is there, they haven't even gottin close to the boundary. Hope this helps you out. I also have not had ANY problems with the transmitter(collars) not fitting right. You just have to adjust to the size.

Yes. That is one thing I like about the collars you can program them to work with both or individually. I have mine set on #1 for one dog and #2 for the other dog. That way I correct the one that is misbehaving .

You probably can, but you'll have to punch a small hole in the collar. There is a plastic pin that is part of unit that you have to accommodate.

Definitely! The collar was super long and I had to cut over half of it off so it wasn't sticking out from my beagle's neck.
