Help, may have bought wrong size. I have a 3 month old Lab mix pup and got a L. She can't get the treats out. What should I try?

I have 3 mini doxies, and one of them is too small to get it in her mouth. I cut the small end off all of them and let my little one have it. The other two keep the bigger ones. I put a little cashew butter in them, and it keeps the dogs busy for awhile.

I would think she'd definitely grow into it. I have a 11 pound, 5 month old small puppy who I got a small kong for; it took her awhile to stay interested in trying to get the treat out. Now she's figured out how to keep working at it until the treat breaks apart and she can get to it. It sure helps to keep her occupied for awhile and with the chewing phase.

I had the same problem with our two Pomperanians. After trying several types of treats, I complained that they just did not work. The Company was very prompt to refund my money. They could not take them back for obvious reasons and told me to destroy them. I put them in the trash.

Incidentally, you can always give it a try and send it back if it doesn't fit (they have a great return policy at Amazon)-- judging from the other answers, it looks like it may just depend on the pup!

Probably might need a small... My Labradoodle is 42 pounds and is a medium( between a mini and standard poodle)... It s tightened all the way...But go to petsafe.net first look at the sizes then buy it off Amazon it's a lot cheaper

If I remember correctly malamutes aren't broadchested, right? I got my 80 lb lab mix a large and I've got 2 1/2 nearly 3 inches until I can't loosen it anymore. The large should suffice, but if she has a larger neck then I would consider an xl

I got our collar out and did a test rum on my lab who weighs about 60# and had her try to reach the front of her paws (dog biscuit reward induced!). She just couldn't quite reach. This collar restricts their stretch to some degree in all directions. I would say it is worth a try to try to break the habit, if it is a habit and not something physiologic. Vets should carry these--they are MUCH better than the cone (we call it The Lampshade!)--an outstanding product and I am glad to have it on hand for the next time we need it. Have you tried spraying the top of your lab's paws with Bitter Apple? Apparently, not all dogs hate the Bitter Apple as much as my dog does, however! Another suggestion I would make is to get the dog boots and use them for a time on her front paws. We use them in the winter for below zero weather--Lucy isn't crazy about them but she does get used to them. She had a bad cut on one of her paws a few years ago and we put a boot on over her bandages and she got used to it. The bandages had to be on for about a month, dressed daily followed by the boot and she was very good about the whole thing once she got over the weird-ness! Good luck working this problem out with your lab--they are the best dogs, aren't they?!!

I would go to a Pet Store and get extra large wee wee pads for the floor. Put it in your bathroom and she will go in it. When she does, praise her with a treat. You can retrain her in that way. This product does not work as it is advertised.

It took me several adjustments to get it to fit right. Try letting out on the front adjustment and tightening the one that goes around the chest to see if that might move the straps back . That worked on mine . you could probably make some fleece pads if that doesnt work and than readjust . Remember that this halter isnt meant to be that total answer to pulling. They also still need training as well. It just throws them a bit off when they try to pull. Before our Poodle got the hang of the harness and training he sort of learned to walk sideways to make the harness not work the way it should lol!

I would get the large, which is the size I ordered. It would be less likely that your pup could get her mouth around it--Mine was able to chomp down and break it--I wish it came even bigger--LOL

Both of my Great Danes won't touch it. Tried coaxing with a biscuit. I think it is too skinny for them. Don't know if they make them but steps seem like they would be better.

Hi Michael, I got the smaller one for my maltese...but she quickly grew out of it...but she is a bigger dog at 10 lbs. I think if your pup is just 4-5 lbs...the small one would work.It is a good looking product and I enjoyed using it when my girl was a puppy.Hope this helps.I gave mine to the local shelter and they plaeend on using it for the smaller pups and kitties so they could work and still have them with them.Good Luck...Julie

I would try a small bag of the taste of the wild first to see if he has any issues with it. Also the puppy blend is higher in calories which puppy's need and can use because they are very active. Once he is over a year or when recommend by your vet I would switch to the adult blend.

I have a small for my 15 lb Bichon with shorter legs. Call the manufacturer or the place that is selling this product. or Try the medium size. Maybe they have these at your local store to go try them on.

They come in small and large. Sounds like you got a small one. I get the large size for my golden retriever and it's a mouthful for him. Actually, he was carrying that very one around last night.

If you purchase the correct size (go to the Comfy Cone website to see how to properly measure) your dog should not be able to reach anything - including its paws. I bought mine for my Black Lab who has issues with his paws and it stopped his constant licking. Good Luck!

Aww...she did move right in to my cage :( Keep trying to put them on the top and just leave the door open. You might try their favorite treat in the dish inside to tempt them to go in. At night I use her fav treat and tell her to get in and she does it now without the treat. Good Luck :)

Get a large. Then post the pic for us all to enjoy! The medium is too small for our 20-lb border terrier.

Hi Connie,K. J. Fowler answers your question very well. Just make sure you have your case snapped back together evenly and tight so your pup doesn't lose the compartment. I have seen a complaint on that but I haven't had a problem. You just have to snap it back correctly. Hope this helps!Shirley Long
