How small can the collar be made?

The collar can be used on the biggest of dogs, and can used down to a size of a braclet- 4 inches (trimming some of the material so it does not go around twice).

If the supplied collar is too big you can buy a collar that will fit your dog and attach the receiver to it by making two mounting holes.

If you are trying to use it for a small breed dog, it won't work. We thought it would work for all dogs because that is what the store said. It needs to be for a large dog. I think we were able to trim the band part. Maybe you can put more holes in the collar.

you could make it smaller by punchin a hole as needed but it comes for about beagle size and up

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.

Our dog went to doggie heaven so we no longer have it and I can't remember sorry

There are plenty of holes in it and the collar is of plastic material so you can poke a hole in it too. Have this for 2 1//2 years and it's still working great. My dog really doesn't use her collar much anymore but once in awhile I put it on her just to remind her.

The last hole in the collar that comes with the fence makes it 12" around. I had to buy an extra collar, and it had more holes and could be down to 10". However, there is room to punch more holes if necessary. As was noted by others, though, the collar with battery is fairly heavy and is about an inch wide, so not well suited for small dogs. I have the opposite problem - one of my dogs is an English Mastiff, and the collar barely fits around her neck at all.

The collar is adjustable and their are enough links to make it larger if needed and of course you can make it smaller

It is adjustable but it is huge! My dog is 70 pounds. I would think buy a smaller collar for small dogs.

It will fit a small dog, as there is a section of removable collar. I love it!

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.

We put it on a (1 inch) wide collar & it fit nicely. I wouldn't recommend any smaller width.

doubt it. I guess you could compensate by wrapping it around it's body instead of its neck? I am a big promoter of this collar, however, I don't see how necessary it might be on a micro dog. My best advise is for you to buy the smallest version available, and if it does not fit simply return it, give it to a friend as a present, or use it on your teenagers. (kidding about the teenager part). Good hunting!

The collar has a max diameter of 7.5 - 8 inches. When using the collar on my 1 yr old female chocolate lab there is still 5-6 inches of collar left.

I measured mine and see that it can accomodate a collar up to about 1 3/8 inches wide.

Nick, The collar is very big, I have an adult golden retriever mix and we have considered cutting down a portion of the collar. There are plenty of holes for any adjustment, large or small. Great collar!

No it won't. Herm Sprenger measures their collars opened up and laid flat, which makes them shorter when attached because of the prongs. You'll need at least a 21" collar.

I am not sure about size but these are the only pinch collars to buy for the comfort of your companion. I have two and they are so much better then the cheep ones in big stores.

I wasn't able to use collar -- my dog didn't weigh enough. I would call the Dogtra people and see what they say. Good luck!

the collar has holes all the way around so you can adjust to any size. the collar attachment that delivers the shock is about 2" x 2". While it would fit, they may make a smaller one for smaller dogs and I do not know about that.

The collar is about 21 inches long with lots of holes to make it smaller I have three for three big dogs don't ever have to use the shock just the beep to keep them from barking to much. They don't ware it all the time. You can order extra collars from the company sorry I don't know the cost because the cost always goes up. Hope this helped you at least a little bit.

My dog chewed it in half and I've already thrown it away. It was small and thin approximately 1/2 inch. The collar is much thicker.

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.
