Will this work on a chihuahua mixed who weighs 10.5lbs even thou it's suitable from weighing 15 to 50lbs. My Chihuahua is extremely stubborn. Thanks!

No, I would adhere to the guidelines set out by the manufacturer. Spend your money on a training session from a reputable in-home trainer instead! :)

I would not even purchase this item. It is poor quality and did not work. I had to return it. The collar would be way to big for a chihuahua so you would have to change it out. I think the receiver would also get in the dogs way.

I think this device would be to large for a chihuahua it's meant for bigger dogs.

In my opinion, this unit would not be suitable for a chihuahua mix at 10 lbs. It will be too large.

Honestly for a dog under 15lbs, the collar itself might not secure tight enough, but it depends on his neck size.

Yes but the reciever might be a little large and heavy for your dog. Saftey wise I would see no problem, do to the fact you can set it so low. I'd recommend there collars to anyone. I own two sets of them and would buy another from them.

Yes, it works very well for my Minpin and Chihuahua. I had to add a little strap from the fastener to reach their double halter. It also works when just one is on it, and my husband walks the other dog. They weigh 8# and 10# each.

Thank all of you for your answers. I did buy this and if anyone else has a chihuahua it does work very well. :-)

This will absolutely work on a chihuahua and yes you can set it to only vibrate, In fact it has 100 different levels of vibration intensity, it has a beep feature as a reward and the static feature also has 100 different levels of intensity, so if you did half to shock the little guy set it to 5 and he'll get the message. The only problem I can see you having is the collar that comes with, your dog will never fit into it, so see if they sell this brand made for smaller dogs, if not you'll just half to buy your own collar. Hope this helps.

My chihuahua is on the long side and is 3-1/2 lbs. It is perfect for her and I think it would be for your dog.

Hello Jill! Did you end up purchasing this product? I too have a 45-50 lb dog and would love to purchase this for her. However, in the previous answers the people who were kind enough to answer seemed to miss the fact that their dogs were roughly double the size of our dogs and because it fit their 80-100 pound dogs doesn't mean it will fit ours. I'd love to hear whether it worked or not if you purchased it!

The dog we use it with is a 60 pound dog. We tried using it on our smaller dog that was 15 pounds but found that he would run through the fence so fast it wouldn't have time to correct him. We now have a chihuahua and wouldn't even consider trying it on her. I believe 5 pounds is just too small.

The strength can be adjusted. My mother uses one of these on her chihuahua that is only 3lbs. She set the strength to level 1 and her pup learned the boundries pretty quick.

Hello I have a chihuahua and she's about 10 pound she fits comfortably and has alot of space to move around. I believe your dog would fit perfectly. It is very roomy inside.

My chihuahua is 6 pounds , so she is not heavy. It's like carrying your purse for me.

I have used it with my two chihuahuas very successfully. Getting them to relax and let me use it was the challenge. But it works well.

I am still very satisfied with it. I have had it for a while now and it has not given me any problems. However, a chihuahua might be able to get through if it is one of the really tiny (2-5lbs) ones. Most chihuahuas probably wouldn't be able to fit through it though. My dog weighs 13 pounds and is quite slender, but she still cannot even begin to fit through the bars.

Just my opinion... NO. The collar unit is probably to big and heavy for a chihuahua, and the electric shock might be too much (as in dangerous) for such a tiny dog.

Great. I have a 2 year old chihuahua and I hope this helps her. Thank you so much.

We bought it for our two chihuahua mixes who are 11 and 10 lbs and it works great. We did have to buy a smaller collar because the one that came with it was too big.

I have 2 chihuahuas - one about 8 pounds and the other probably about 10 pounds. Both wear the orange Pawz (x-small), and they stay on both dogs' feet. But they stay on with less empty space (ie more snuggly, but not more tightly) on the bigger dogs' feet.

My aunt has a 13 lb yorkie terrier mix who loves this food. We can't keep him out of it. So, if her 13 lb-er can handle it, I would think a Chihuahua mix breed could also. Good luck, I hope your successful.
