Will this work on a dog that is 120lbs? Will he even feel it?

As long as the nodes make contact with skin, yes. If dog doesn't react, try a higher setting. Dogs will usually drop their head or yelp when it becomes uncomfortable.

Forgot to add that I leave the collar fairly loose, and 99% of the time, just use the warning beep. Only needed to hit shock twice in two years.

100% yes. Please start off on the lowest setting. You will be surprised as it's in a very sensitive area. We really use it more for the positive reinforcement button. If you use it properly you will never need the shock feature..

My dog is about 65lbs and he will yelp and stop what he's doing at the 3 out of 8 setting, so I would guess your dog should for sure feel it at some point in the settings.

Oh yes he will. I tried it on me before I tried it on my puppy. It goes from one to eight. I weigh 300. I put it on four and lay it on the bottom of my leg. I almost lost control of my bladder. Anything above four hurts my dog real bad. I just want to train him not hurt him. I only use five and six when he puts my cats entire head in his mouth...sigh. I would recommend this collar.

Hi there. We have a large German Shepard and she will respond to the collar even on the lowest settings. You just have to be sure to have the collar on snug enough.

Our 100# lab responds well. A friend's bulldog doesn't respond and the collar is apparently not large enough, but it's been a real lifesaver for us!!!

Should work just fine. Our Airedale isn't that large, but has a double coat and is stubborn and nearly impervious to pain. The collar works on her at level 6...so I assume would work on your dog. The only complaint I have is that the battery dies in one year. Bought a whole new unit because it was impossible to get any info as to which battery was replacement battery.

It would definitely work for him! My oldest is over 60lbs and it works well for him. (In fact..I can jump on it at 115lbs without a problem!) It's fun...even for me!

I'm not exactly sure. I'm using it on a 90 lb dog. His shock level tolerance is about a 3-4. Level 1 isn't nearly as strong so it could possibly work. Also, the vibration mode could help do the trick without shocking.

The DoggyRide Original is wonderful. An 80 pound dog will be ok...sitting, or curled up. Not a lot of room to stretch out but most prefer to sit with their head up watching the sights. You'll just need to desensitize to first the enclosure and then the movement. Good luck and have fun!

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.

It should. Try only using the vibrate at first. only use the shock if you absolutely must. The shock does scare them but the vibration does too. The vibration is a good warning do it 2 or 3 times before you even think about shocking. my dog is about 8 pounds. I don't have to use the shock hardly ever. the vibration scares him enough

Ours works for a 76 lb. Elkhound-Husky mix, so I would say yes... he usually lies on his side.

Our dog is 45-50 pounds. It works fine but he has learned how many beeps he has before he gets shocked. This still allows him to get in and out. Unfortunately you cannot adjust this.

it works for my pomerian who is 14 lbs and has long legs...if it wont work for your dog send it back...

Had this for my lab mix. He was about 70lbs but I think it should be fine for you. Try googling the product and see what comes up. Good luck.

Yes, I have a 55lb dog and I weigh 110...I'd go on with him at first because he was very timid about it before acclimation. The weight limit is 170. It's not fancy like treadmills for people, but you could certainly use it yourself.

Yes, it will work just fine, my dog is Bull Terrier, Boxer and Pit mix that has huge paws and weighs 70 lbs. His paws are 2 inches wide.

I would not use it on such a small dog. My lab is 75 pounds and I only use the collar on the first setting and he responds well to that but if I go any higher it is to much for him. Every dog is different but I would stray away to find a less intense collar.

You can feel it but it has no effect on the dog. Just properly caliberate the electric shock and use that.

my is 125lb rott and it works perfect.your dog may be a little short.it gave me more control.and if your dog is very friendly it could be the perfect harness

No. This is not an adequate approach to your dog's safety, 120 lbs or 20 lbs, doesn't matter. I have yet to find anything that can accommodate an active dog appropriately.

I have a 7 lb havaneese and my 15 lb shi-poo. I only used vibrate on them it will startle him but doesn't hurt at all it works perfectly. I was nervous at first but very pleased with purchase.
