I have 2 small dogs. They have 15'' necks. They are long-hair &amp; their collars always mat their fur. Will these collars mat fur? Which size to get?

I'm not sure. I have a bigger dog around 70lbs and he likes to run and chase stuff mostly cars so I need a larger and stronger collar with the chain. The reflective part works great

I have two large dogs, Alaskan Malamute and a Siberian husky. They have a lot of hair around their necks. The collars are very large and adjust to fit. I would recommend walking them on a leash to train them. Walk them over to the area with the collars on and allow them to hear the beeping of the collars. Once you hear that pull them back into the safe area. Once or twice of this they learn. My two both were shocked before they learned. The biggest issue we have is when they find an area where the wire is close to the surface. They dig it up and bit it and we have to replace it. I love it more for cost then anything. Once they know to stay away they do. Right now ours is not working because there is a break in the line and they both still do not go near the area the line is buried. I hope this helps.

They come in different sizes, my dog is a Shepard pit mix with a 12" neck. The size I got seemed to work. I honestly don't what the size range was for my dog, but it is a clean fit. My guess if they have a larger size try that. How ever the way it fits on the collar, that gap will ride under his neck.Esp for stocky dog.

The collars might be kind of large for a 20 to 30 pound dog. My two dogs are 54 to 58 pounds, and the collars are the right size for them. I have also seen 30 to 40 pound dogs in these collars and that seems OK. You can cut the collar part to any length, so that's not the issue. The issue is the shocker part is about 2.5 inches long by 1.5 inches wide by 1 inch deep. That part might be too big and heavy for a smaller dog. On the other hand, these collars are great!

For a full blooded Lab I would go with the Short Haired Version (I use to have a Full blooded lab also). I've compared both styles and the Short hair version would get close to doing as good as a job on say a Husky (my case) But Labs lean more towards shorter hair. Its still long but not as long as a Shepard of Husky style dogs hair cut. It grows different and there is less coat to get through. The Short hair Furminator should do the trick in your case. :)

I have a dog who has to wear a collar long term. I use the Comfy cone collar. I use it with his regular collar. My dog is hairless and the Comfy Cone does not cause skin irritation.

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.

You can get very small collars for small dogs. Larger dogs can use the regular size, and they come with short and long prongs depending on the dogs fur depth.

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.

I have a Pomeranian Mix and she weighs only 11 lbs., and I her neck measurements are ruffly the same. I purchased a size medium and it is a little loose on her, yet I don't like having her collars snugged on her either, because of her fur. I hope this helps you.

Measure your dogs neck. Then order. I ordered a small for my cat and I just love it on her. It does smell funny when you first get it , but the smell goes away. I love this collar it is so beautiful.

I use the 825 collar on both my lab mixes. They are about 60 pounds now so not too big, and they fit fine on their necks. They LOVE when I reach for the collars! It means we are going for a GREAT walk/run/swim! Good luck with your purchase!

I just measured the two of mine and they come in at a max of about 23". That's to the last hole on the collar. It also comes with two extra prongs that are about twice as long as the stock ones. This helps with long haired fidos. I've stated this in other reviews, but these are BY FAR the best purchases I've made for my dogs. I literally just got back from a long walk of freedom when I saw your question. I could never give them the exercise they truly need, without these collars. I have one controller controlling both dog collars. That's pretty cool too. Good luck!

I bought my collar for one of my dogs who weighs about 15 lb. I don't know what her neck size isbut it fit her just fine with adjustment. I think it would probably fit a 14 in. neck ok.

I have a long-haired miniature dachsund and the collar ended up being a little too big on her. Its difficult to adjust as well.

There's no way for me to tell you what size would fit best. You need to measure length, neck, and girth for best fit. I would guess since bulldogs usually have larger necks you may have to go up a size, but it may end up being too long. I would definitely measure to get the best fit!

Well I ordered the product anyway and figured if the collars didnt fit I would make adjustments somehow. Well for my 7 lb yorkie the fit is ok it's a bit big on the shortest setting but its fine. It moves around a bit but is not completely too loose to use. For the 8 lb cockapoo the shortest setting is also ok. the instructions say not to have the prongs touching the neck anyway so the shortest collar setting is fine for both my small dogs! Hope that helps!
