What is the recommended age/weight for using this collar?

for the shock collar, I would say up to a year or older. A good weight would be 8+ pounds. For the citronella, any age & weight preferred up to 8+ because of the large collar.

I've used these successfully on an 85 lb chocolate lab and a 15 lb dachshund.

You can read the product information to get your question answered. I used it on a 6 lb Shih Tsu and a 72 lb Labrador.

As of 4.10.2014 there has not been an answer that tells me how well these preform on their dogs. If I had used one on my wife we may have been able to avoid our sad divorce, lol. I have a service (Hearing-ear) dog that barks to signal me, but sometimes she does not stop when I want her to. I owe this dog my life and do not want to harm or frigten her, but there are times when I would like to have her stop barking when I want her to.

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".

I purchased this collar for my yellow lab. He weighs 99 lbs. It is adjustable. Approximately 23 inches long. I was able to make it 7 and 1/2 inches smaller to fit my dog.

This collar has a wide adjustable size range so it should be perfect. I have it on my 8lb & 30lb dogs and its perfect for both. Adjust it down smaller once over the neck of your dog so it fits better when the leash it on. Hope this helps

I purchased these collars for my 2 jack russells about 20lbs and my female boxer who weighs about 50lbs. You can cut to size, they are plenty long enough and melt the cut end with a match.

I think you'd be fine with the vibrate and use the level 1 shock as a "hey you didn't listen the first time". Our Maltese mix is about 10-12 pounds. The mechanism does not fit on their personal collars, but the strap is easy to adjust...(I clipped it to wear I needed it and burned the end to prevent raveling) Hope it works for you!!

I don't know. The collar was not useable due to very small + wrong sizing.R

I just went onto the manufacturer's website and the large collar is for dogs over 18lbs. Hope that helps.

Hi Norm - I think this unit would pack too much of a wallop for a little one like that. I have a shih-tzu bichon mix who weighs about 20 lbs or so and the collar seems a little too heavy for her. It may be that you can find one for a smaller dog that wouldn't be so heavy around the neck. I would highly recommend the unit itself as a deterrent and as stated, we have never used the shock feature and the vibration is enough to get her attention and to stop her unwanted barking. Hope this was helpful.

I have a Rottweiler who will be one year old in two days and he is 29" tall and weighs over 100 pounds. He is 18" around the neck. sp We are using a medium for him and there's plenty of room still in the collar for him to continue to wear it for awhile. I hope this helps. Rena G

Jane, its not very heavy but everything is relative. The plastice box that attaches to the collar holds a small circuit board and two AAA batteries to give you an idea of how much it will weigh. What I think would be more problematic is adjusting the collar enough to stay on a small dog's neck. I would estimate the collar can be adjusted down to about ten inches at most so you can measure the circumference of your dog's collar to get an idea if it will. Hope this helps.

the collar is lightweight but large, I am not sure about a dog that small. check out their websit hitecpet.com. However I suggest you do a google search on dog fence comparisons. Pet Safe has alot of different products and you can use any of their collars with any unit. Human contain did not work for us, so had to spend another $400 on a new system that had more features. Research before you buy.

The guidelines for use of the Pet Safe Invisible Fence states that dogs must be over 8 lbs. That's for the fence itself, so I'm pretty the collar has the same criteria. I research everything before attaching items to my dog, especially electronics.

We have about a 30 lb dog and the collar has about 8 inches left over. You should have no problem.

Not 100% sure. I believe the collar is advertised for anxiety issues primarily. You might consider calling the company or seek a trainers advise.
