I am looking for a good dog fence for my golden retreiver - he is about 105lbs and has really long hair for a golden - do we need a different collar?

We bought the professional grade electric fence system about 2 months ago. At first my 90 lb Golden Doodle would go right through to go "socialize" with neighbor kids and pets, but has since learned quite well and now stays in the yard even with outside distractions. the system is working very well -- we love it. It is easy to install and train, and is very high quality.

No. These collars are really good. They come with two lengths of prongs. He will be absolutely fine with this one. Great product.

No..it comes with an extra set of studs for the collar that are longer for thick coated dogs. This fence worked awesome for us.

I had bought it for my 70lb German Shepherd. The issue is that the contact probes aren't that long. If you're looking for a good training collar I'd recommend the Sport Dog brand. Batteries are rechargeable and they have longer contact probes which is great if your dog has a lot of hair. I've had the Sport Dog one for a little over a month and so far I'm pleased.

This is the best collar out there but it probably would be too big for a 6 lb dog. If you do purchase it you will be able to get it on and use it. But you will not like the size of it. Another good thing is if used properly you will not have to use it much. It will help to break bad habits. I have a Minny Pinscher 15lbs he can handle it just barely.

My dog isn't long haired, but she is shaggy. The collar comes with 2 sized prongs, I use the short ones, but I think if you separated the hair when placing it on the pup and used the long prongs, it would probably work.

The bark collar can be trimmed. My guess is that the collar weighs nearly as much as your 2.5 pound dog and might cause it a muscle strain / or to develop a vertebral issue. You might check with the manufacturer, or you could trade your dog in for a larger breed if you are absolutely in love with the reviewer ratings, but not so much with your dog- your call.

You can get very small collars for small dogs. Larger dogs can use the regular size, and they come with short and long prongs depending on the dogs fur depth.

I have a golden retriever and it has a good 5-6" left or extra. It was the best thing we did. We used it a few times and now we barely put it on her.

We have a golden retriever who weighs over 100. We bought him the XL which fit fine with a bit of room to spare. However, the clasp that holds the front together broke when we first buckled it. It seem to be made of a rather flimsy material. The other clasps were fine. We returned the product and bought a K9 which was considerable more expensive but very sturdy. Hope this helps. I think a large would be fine for 55 lbs. You might even be able to do a medium.

We are using the collar on our standard poodle. It is working well on his medium curl, inch length hair. My sister uses the collar for her large male German Shepard who has thick, longish hair. All of us have been satisfied with the product and haven't had a problem due to hair type. I'd investigate the return policy for peace of mind.

You may want to get the long hair one. My dogs are boxer/bull rescues with pretty short hair.

Hi Den,This listing is a bit confusing. The listing itself is for the PetSafe Inground Radio fence which has an 'UltraLight' collar that fits dogs with 6" necks or bigger. The manufacturer recommends dog larger than 8lbs. The picture for this listing is actually for a PetSafe Stubborn Dog Fence, but this listing is NOT for that type of fence. the stubborn dog fence shouldn't be used for dogs much less than 40lbs. If you have additional questions let us know.Thanks,EZDogFences

Way to big for your dogs. You will need the lightest smallest link they make. Also I recommend a trainer to show you how to apply and use the collar properly. If in the wrong hands it can cause harm and not work. Being trainer I can say that it is a wonderful tool if used correctly.

The collar is very large, but you can make it as small as you like, cut off the excess and heat the end to seal it so it doesn't ravel. I have three collars - one for a pug/terrier mix (about 20 lbs), one for an Olde English Bulldogge (about 70 lbs) and one for a mastiff (about 150 lbs).

I know this is an old question but I have a 70# Bouvier pup that used to pull on the leash and his prong collar is working like a champ. You might just want to enlist a trainer to help get you started with it.

We bought it for a golden retriever. The collar can be adjusted though and I suppose you could cut any excess off.

I has seen there were different sizes. Is that correct? I have two 75 -80 pound dogs do you have the appropriate size that would be designed for them or is it one size fits all collars?

Try your local pet store - take them out with a crescent wrench and take them with you. They appear to be the same size and thread as my SportDog collar - which PetSmart/etc sells the longer prongs for really hairy dogs/etc.
