I have a very stubborn 90lb dog. I only see reviews and questions for small dogs. Has anyone had success with LARGE dogs like mine?

It works great on my 18 lb dog and my daughter has one for her Brittany Spaniel 35 lbs that works great.

My dog is a German shephard and the collar did not work. I'm assuming it is because I read another review that said the collar needs to have close skin contact and I won't shave my dogs neck. I would try another collar if I were you

I have a 55lbs dog who is pretty smart and while it did curb his barking he knows that when it's off he can bark his head off.

I have a 120lb German Shepherd and have tried at least 9 different collars. The only one that worked was the Petsafe Elite Big Dog Rechargeable Collar. Works like a charm on setting 5.

I have a 90 lb Doberman and it works great. I would suggest a much smaller collar and voltage. You might even try the spray collar if your issue is barking. Good luck!

I use just one for our 90 pound lab all the time and have never had an issue with it. I love it...

I think the "stubborn" dog one would be wayyyyyyyyyyy too powerful for a 7lb dog. I used the regular collars on all my other Labs, but I had this one who was 100lbs & was very stubborn, so that's why I got the beefier one. I think they have one for small breeds though.

Hi- no way, it was a horrible experience for my 19lb Schnoodle! Do not recommend! I sent mine back.

not me. smaller dogs. All I can say is I set it for medium to train my Irish setter mix (60 lbs). The first time it shocked her she literally did a back flip and started yowling. Needless to say, I turned it all the way down before trying it again. So turned up it should at least get their attention?Good luck.

I purchased a "small" for my 8 pound Silky Terrier. It fit relatively well for that size/weight. However, she was very bothered by the straps around her back legs/groin area and wouldn't walk. When I pulled on leash, her back end went right up in the air...so did not work out for us. A larger, heavier dog will likely be more adaptable to this style. Good luck.

Oh yes without question. my largest dog weighs 20 lbs, others are very small dogs. not problem with size

I have a 3.4lb yorkshire terrier and she hasn't been able to squeeze through. She's not overly adventurous though. If your little guy is pretty adventurous, then I would be worried about him trying to squish through, but in general I think it is fine for our tiny little ones.

I had hoped it might work for my 40 pound shar pei, just to roll around certain places instead of having to control her on leash. I wasn't planning to zip it, just let her sit in it. Unfortunately there was NO way it would roll around comfortably with that much weight in it so I had to return it. I could almost see 2 20 lb dogs being ok (like the guy with the french bulldogs in the other answer) because the weight would be more distributed, but one 40 lb dog sitting in one spot made it impossible. I had to return it, but it was nicely made from what I could tell. 20-25 lbs is really the limit I think.

The device worked on my 80 lbs Lab for about a week but after that she just ignored it. It still works great with our little dog though. If your dog is stubborn then you may want to try something different to get a lasting result.

I am sorry to say but probably not. My 9lb shih tzu is almost to big. My 11 lb does ok but they don't stay on the table, they tend to fall off. I'm actually thinking I need to look for a better option. Even with two harnesses the table is not the best idea for larger heavier dogs. My 9 lb guy managed to knock the table over and was choking himself with the harness and I only bent down to pick up my clippers. Scared me to death and now I don't trust the table for anything.

Michelle -We bough this for our huskie/golden retriever mix who weighs 53 lbs. It does not seem to stop him from barking, We are still working on this behavior. Diane

I personally wouldn't recommend this product for a dog that size. It is advertized for "small to medium" dogs. The steps are shallow (four total), and I'm not sure if it would slide or tip under that much weight. Although this "may" work for your dog, I would recommend spending your money on a product that is engineered & designed for large dogs. Also, if you read the negative reviews on this product, you'll see that a common theme is that it is inadequate for larger dogs. Hope this helps.

I think they have a small dog version, but no, you couldn't use the collar I have on a dog that small. Even the regular collar, not the "stubborn dog" one, would be too big. The electric fence is excellent for all medium size or large dogs, no matter their temperament, and can save you a fortune on fencing a large property! Good luck!

I guessed and was wrong; my dog's girth was bigger than a large, although she weighed 90#. So, she needed an extra large which was not being offered. My experience was not the happiest.

In my opinion, no. My Chihuahua is only 9lbs and that was pushing it. It destroyed his back. Steroids & pain killers for 2 weeks for him. :(
