We have a short hair Jack Russell and an English Bulldog, it works wonderful on both of them. Don't even have to shock them, they respond instantly to the vibration. We love this thing!

We use ours on our short hair dog and it works great! We have had no problems with ours and like you can recharge the units!

It does work well on short hair dogs. I have a papillon and a german short hair and both have had positive responses to the collar. Hope this helps!

Yes it will. I have a beagle and a laborador retreiver and they work very well on both. Love this collar!!

Joe, never got a chance to use it as my dog passed on. A friend of mine told me about the collar and that was when I purchased it. Most dogs hate the cone collar and the blow up collar didn't work at all, maybe because my dog had a long neck. Regardless, good luck to you and your dog

My dog isn't long haired, but she is shaggy. The collar comes with 2 sized prongs, I use the short ones, but I think if you separated the hair when placing it on the pup and used the long prongs, it would probably work.

Any idea the circumference of your dog's neck? My dog is a 40 pound pit mix, and her neck is about 17 inches around. The collar fits her with about 8 inches left to make it bigger. But as another reviewer, Dana, said, you could probably take it off the collar that it comes with and put on a longer one. It works great with my dog, she HATES the spray. Sometimes I just put it on her and don't even turn it on and it keeps her from barking.

Hi Sandra. Both my dogs are around 18 lbs. The collar is a little big on my female. I am cutting it down to fit. You might have to get a smaller collar, length wise to use it. Just make sure it is the same width.

Yes, it will work on small dogs. We used it on our lab and cattle dog. We had such success that my parents purchased them for their two Maltese. I must say that we have tried all sorts of various collars, and this by far has been the most successful. We have never had to use the shock mode... only the vibration and it really works!

Well... we have a 90+ pound Golden Doodle. The collar was too long for him - we actually cut it to make it shorter which worked fine. There are many holes in it so you can make it quite small. But the unit that carries the battery is a bit heavy so if your dog is very small it is a consideration.

What # attachment did you use and how long is your dogs hair? Either attachment is not on properly or need to use a shorter length.

I've used this type of collar on dogs with shorter necks...think as long as you measure accurately and order the corresponding size, you will be okay - good luck to you and your poochie - this type of collar is the only one that works for active dogs (in our experience!).

Charlene, I just saw this today. I apologize for the delay. If you don't mind waiting another day, I will check tonight to see how small these collars can be adjusted, and I will let you know. I am still at work right now. My dogs are considerably bigger than a min pin and the adjustment is as large as it goes. I will let you know how small it will go.

I have used it on a small dog. It worked really well. You will find you only need to use the first vibration. It scares them but not pain. She learned rather fast. She used to be very yappy now she responds to just no. Collar off now.

I have a Persian so I can't really answer you. The collar did NOT work on her. I did try it on my friend's short haired cat and it worked well. I have a different (more powerful) one for my dog and it works wonderfully and he wears it 24/7.

Hi, I have a couple German Shorthaired Pointers. One is 15 months, the other is 4 months.I have purchased the 425 model. The older one is knows right from wrong but at times she does not obey. With the collar, you do not have to keep requesting a command. You can hit the warning button and she will come, or anything else she has learned. No repetitive screaming ha. Only 3/4 times have I shocked her on level 1/2. It is a miracle how this works. I always thought of it being a bad thing. But when my dog goes over the fence, it was a miracle how well just having the collar on, it works.

It works if the "collar" stays in the right place. It only worked sometimes on our 9lb toy fox terrier. We returned it.

It really depends on how thick your dogs fur is, I have a 45lbs pitbull in an 18 and I had to take a link out because her fur is short. It works great on my dogs, I also have a 87lb pitbull in an 18 as well so it will probably work just keep the dogs fur in mind when you buy one. Other then that they are increasingly effective. These I've found are the best prong collars made. They are heavy duty and made to last.

My dog isn't that big.. But if u buy the large size. It's adjustable. I'm sure it.would work. No special collar is needed either
