How rough is the rope? My dog naturally has very thin fur coverage on his chest, armpits, and the throat of his neck.

The rope is not rough at all. Very nice lead. I think you will be very happy with this purchase.

It's not rough at all. I have 3 very sensitive dogs who are all white and it does just fine with them. Great leash for regular day to day walking as well add dog training.

It is great quality, not rough at all. It is not a nylon rope and I have had no problems at all with rope burn or skin irritations. My black Lab is also quite thin furred. I can't say enough good things about the Mendota slip leads that I use. I foster and re home dogs and have several leads. Every dog that I use one on has an immediate positive reaction (if the lead is used properly)

My dog is chiahuah/rat terrier mix with a bald neck. He weighs 5-6 lbs. he does great with this collar. My husband sawed off the tips of the prongs because w/his bald neck my dog doesnt need anything poking through his fur. However if you have a poneranian you may want to keep the prons as they are. My husband and I both put the collar on ourselves as well just to see what we were exposing our pets to. If we won't do it to ourseves why would we do it to our "babies".

This sounds like a question for the manufacturer. My dog has lots of fur and this affects getting it over the head. The area around the body is adjustable. Lucky Amazon is so good with returns!

My bulldog just gnaws on this bone for hours. No cracked teeth but she has slowly worn it down, and does get tiny shavings off of it which, unfortunately she may have injested. She very occassionally would gag for a moment when I think a small shaving got in her throat. I finally through it away worried about it.

I think it would be to warm and ten pounds is a lot of weight on your shoulder and neck. I think your dog would be to big for this.

covers chest. My dog is 12 y/o and i wanted something to cover his shoulders and down to the base of his tail which this does. Chest is good, Belly not so much.just the strap that holds it on like a girth strap

I have 2 dogs. They have hair not fur but it still gets all over the house. I let them lay on my bed sometimes and the hair doesn't seem to cling to it at all.

I honestly don't know, our dog has long fur so we used it as is and it didn't seem to hurt him too badly.

You would have to get it tight enough. We used it on one of our dogs who had a ton of extra skin around his neck and what I did was pull apart the folds and place it between them. If your dog is sensitive, it may work just fine on top of his wrinkles. Hope this helps.

I've got a German Shepherd too and he's been sleeping on his bed with no trouble. He's blowing his undercoat, but he's not overheated in his bed wither or there would be sweat spots on it, and there hasn't been since I got it for him. He's very happy and much more comfortable sleeping on it from the very first night.

My dog is 67 lbs now (started at 80 lbs.), 8 years old with a chest of about 30 to 32 in. He is a Husky mix, and has very thick fur. I bought the large one that was labeled 70 lbs. to 130 lbs. and we have it adjusted down now as far as it will go. I think I would go with the large. It takes a little bit to figure out how to adjust the harness, and you really need two people unless your dog is really well trained to stand and let you put it on him. He has had it on pretty much continuously since April, and has no problems with it chafing him anywhere. It has been an answer to prayer for him. Hope it works as well for your dog.

Hi, my lab is a lean 70 lbs. He dosent have a big chest. And I feel like there is barely enough Velcro to hold it. It does work for him but I don't like the metal loop the Velcro belt passes through on the front harness. It's in a area with a lot of movement and I feel like it should be more streamline or relocated. All that being said, we do use it quite often. I have not noticed any sore spots caused by the harness. And he dosent seem to mind wearing it. Loads must be perfectly equal on each side or the harness will sag to the heavier side. Hope this helps

It worked well for our dog and it has a really nice smell too! Our dog wasn't itching so much as loosing the fur. You can get a hot spot spray (I believe hartz makes it), that has hydrocortisone and aloe for helping with the itching between washings too. �

My boxer has a very strong neck, he is all muscle. The vibration is strong enough to get his attention. However he is fence aggressive and when in that mode nothing else gets through to him but a quick shock. He is much calmer in our yard now when dogs or people walk by. For reference, he is 60lbs and not neutered due to a heart problem.

I don't think it will discolor his/her neck if you only use it for the walk and then remove it. It is more like the fur wearing away or breaking off; this collar is not meant to be worn all the time.

Yes, one is the lowest (conversely 7 is the highest) also, make sure that you adjust the prongs so that they actually make contact with skin, not just fur (we have a border collie who we thought was impenetrable until we realized it was only hitting fur).
