it says small dog does that mean I can only use it on small breeds? I have small dog 6.5 lbs and a pit bull puppy that will continue to grow large

Our puppy is a German Short Haired Pointer ,so she is not a small dog at all. The training has worked well for her.

This collar will do both your dogs I'm sure. My dog is an Aussie shepherd mini and she is 36 lbs there are plenty of links to add or remove!

The mini is NOT too small for a 20 lb. dog. I bought the larger cube when my poodles got older, and it is my opinion that the big one is too big for almost any dog. My "boys"' would still use it now, but I have 3 of them, and they would fight over it. The mini is suitable for any age or size dog, unless it's a giant breed. It's the best dog toy I've ever found. the first one, now 12 years old is still being used by a friend's dog.

In my opinion this collar would be a little much for a 5 lb dog. My dog is a 50 lb pitbull and it fits her pretty good. My recommendation would be to contact PetSafe to see if they have a smaller one for your doggie. I hope this helps.

I don't think so. My puppy was 3.5 pounds when I ordered it. She's 5 now. I don't think you'd want anything smaller, really.

I use a Medium for my Corgi mix who weighs in low 30's. I haven't seen a small one, so I'm not sure how much smaller a small really is but you might be ok with a small, definitely ok with a medium

I have a different type of food now so I can't look to give a size comparison, but my yorkie didn't have a problem with the size. I don't think it's specifically made for small dogs like some foods are.

The model I purchased is too small for anything except smaller dogs but I believe they offer a larger version

I just got the small one and it would be to small for a larger dog of go with the big one.

I'm not an expert but I would not go any smaller. My standard poodle is just a few pound smaller and it works just fine.....

What if it was a charging lab or boxer? Why would a pit bull be your only concern, especially since most are sweet, wonderful dogs, and any off leash dog can be an issue. Seems like discrimination against one breed. I hope you have it when your neighbors chihuahua gets loose, those dogs pack a mean bite!

Yes, I think it can be used on any size dog. I use level 10 on my 25 lb corgi mix.

I have a 53 pounds bull terrier/border collie mix and the medium is just a tad loose on him. I would think a small might work better on a 19 pounds dog.

My 5 small dogs range from 9 lbs to 21 lbs.. The small was way too big for the 9#, the medium was ok for the rest of them, but too short in the length to the tail for the 21 lb. Ordered the large for the 21# and it was HUGE! I ended up altering the small slicker for the 9# and altered the large one for the 21#......I recommend if your pet is at the higher end of the range for a particular size, I suggest you order the next larger size. If the slicker is not long enough to cover the pets back, what good is it? I like the material and the quality. But the sizing can be tricky. The sizes are for the length and girth of the pet, not the lbs. Hope this helps.

i would not recomend it on a dog that small. i used it on a cocker spaniel dog that wieghs approximatly 15 pounds.

Yes. I think the whole unit would be too big for your dog. The shock the collar gives off may be way too much for dog. My dog is a 42lb greyhound/boxer mix and the shock really gets his attention. 97% of the time the vibration feature is enough to get his attention.I would not use this collar on your small dog.

The dog we use it with is a 60 pound dog. We tried using it on our smaller dog that was 15 pounds but found that he would run through the fence so fast it wouldn't have time to correct him. We now have a chihuahua and wouldn't even consider trying it on her. I believe 5 pounds is just too small.

Unfortunately this will not fit tiny breeds, the collar was too big for my 8 pound schnoodle. It fits my medium sized Canaan perfectly.
