I have got a Miniature doberman Pincher, 2.90kg, very small dog, would you recommend this Elite little dog in ground fence for her??

Oh she's a little one! She just made the weight by a pound, because the system is good for dogs 5lb and up and the collar fits 6-16 inches. There is also multiple adjustments on the colar signal in case your little girl is sensitive . I started my Teddy Bear as a pup when he was about 7 lb and it worked out great. Hope this helps!

Probably not - the impulse has a control dial (1,2,3,4) so that wouldn't be the problem, but I don't think the collar would fit her.

I believe you could use this fence on a dog that small, however I would suggest that you use the lowest level of shock (level 1) to see how the dog reacts due its size. I have this fence on a 15 pound mini goldendoodle and she handled up to level 3 until she felt the shock. I'm sure it would be fine.

The Garmin website says that it's for all breeds. I laid out our BarkLimiter yesterday and measured, while taking pictures. I hope to post those pics soon. The strap has a lot of holes in it, and the factory strap adjustment had the smallest diameter at around 4", though it could have been made tighter by moving the unit down the strap farther. My expectation would be that a low level would be appropriate for the small dogs. Mine is 60lbs, though not a determined barker and she is deterred by level 3.

I have a doberman and this toy is hardPlastic.. She broke it pretty quick... I would recommend http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0002DK26M/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1388378033&sr;=8-1π=SY200_QL40Or. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0012V1G0Y/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1388378033&sr;=8-4π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70Hope this helps.

No it should be just fine for your mix. I think that it might be difficult for anything smaller (mini doxi), but a standard dachshund and heeler mix will be a good size. Once you have fitted the collar you can cut the excess. And you can always keep it on a lower setting. I keep the collar on the lowest setting; and increase as needed.

In addition to my response, they do make this: http://store.petsafe.net/deluxe-little-dog-in-ground-fence

Don't think this particular toy would be a good pick for a smaller dog. I purchased for a 7 month old german shepherd and she occasionally trips over it when she is dragging it around the house since this is a really long toy. If sold with a shorter body you would probably be ok.

The X-Small may be too small. You may need a larger unit. My chihuahua was less than 5 pounds and it was too heavy for him. He was 17. The unit was very well made and I kept it in case I ever came across someone who may need it, but my dog never used it. He was just way too little. If your dog is strong, which 25 pounds sounds like he can handle the weight, the unit is very sturdy. I hope this helps. Good luck.

I do think it will be too heavy for a Yorkie. I would go on line for perimeter fencing for tiny dogs. Also, call the company and they would be able to tell you if there is a product for your little bitty.

my small dog weighs 65 lbs, so really no comparison unit is about the same size as underground fence collars. one thing I discovered about the collar is we have an underground fence that the dogs do not cross and makes the same noise as that bark collar. bought the bark collar for traveling because my big dog barked at everyone we passed. With the bark collar on he stopped barking but got confused where to sit or stand because of the yard collar boundaries.

Make sure the collar is tight so it can't slip around her neck when she scratches, only should be able to fit one finger under collar. Other thing she could be getting used to it, my cousin has invisible fence (same principal) and her dog goes thru it all the time. Hope that helps

Yes it should work. You can barley touch it and it will shock your hand. It also has a low setting that should be perfect for a small dog

The only way to make it smaller would be to cut it off at one of the stabilizer rings. I am not sure how effective that would be, but it might work. My dog was still a puppy -- 6 months old when we got it for him. He had never seen one and went right for it. He loves it. He is about 19 1/2 pounds now and about 13 inches high at the shoulders. Good luck. Sounds like your pup is adventuresome! Good luck.

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!

No, sorry to say. I use it on my 45 lb Australian Cattle Dog. She's probably about as small as you can go with it but it works great and I'm happy with it. My guess is that it would fit dogs up to about 75-80 lbs. This is twice the price but it looks like it may work out:http://www.elitek9.com/Special-Operations-K-9-Harness/productinfo/MH020/Good luck to you, it is pretty cool when they can help carry relatively small molly packs on each side. If you do that, make sure that the weight is balanced on each side. Good Luck!

The dog I purchased this collar for is a Jack Russel, a "mid-sized" dog. For a "SMALL" dog, I believe "I" would look at different models and try to find the one with the smallest "device" box. The box on this model, would probably be a bit too cumbersome for a very small dog. You might want to check with local dealers, such as pet stores and Farm Equipment store to find the smallest (yet effective) model, that you can. Then, see if you can find it for a less expensive price, online. In the -online- ads, under "Specifications", you should find the "size" of the box that holds the electronics. You must also consider the length and thickness of you dogs coat, to see if the electrodes will touch the skin, through the coat. Many models come with two different size/shape electrodes to suit your needs. My Jack, has a short, but very thick coat. So, a short, blunt ended electrode works for him.

HI ML - I can only say that in the past I have had several in ground containment fences (2plus acres) for very active Brittanys. With my new dog (golden Retriever mix) I got the Sport dog system and have been very satisfied. The only thing I would do is get a heavier guage wire to bury - the stuff that comes with the system is a bit flimsy.

The collar that came with the underground fence system would not keep our 80 pound boxer inside, but with the super collar, she stays put. It should do the trick for you. Hope so. Good luck!
