I have two very small yorkies. How small does the collar go? would it be too heavy for a 3-4 lbs dog?

It's too big for your dogs. I think they have to be over 8 pounds for this. The collar is just huge on my ten pound dachsund. I have an underground system that has a tiny collar and is safe for toy dogs. You might want to look into something like that where you have control of the severity of the shock if they go through the fence. If you only need a small space for such little dogs, it might even be less expensive. Good luck!

no this would not work way to big it seems like they have a special collar for smaller dogs. I ordered this and had to return it for a 15 20lb dog but also have a yorkie and there is no way it would have worked for my yorkie I thought it was almost to big for the other dog

I have a smaller terrier and it's a little bulky but not heavy for the dog, collar goes as small as u need it and u can cut excess down if u want, it comes with small studs to replace the Larger Ones if needed

You would not want to use this fence on these dogs. First, the collars are made for 8 lbs and over, second they would not connect properly. There really is not a fence made for a dog 3 - 4 lbs, they all start at 6 lbs and up which would be the petsafe little dog fence (wired).

Yes definitely this collar is heavy for my toy poodle and she weighs about 6 pounds. She also has some in the 3/8 width. The small collar is perfect even for a smaller dog. I have it in green, red , silver and prissy pink . The pink is by far the most beautiful. Good Luck!

I bought it for my yorkie who is 3 pounds and just put a blanket in it. Otherwise he couldn't see out. I've used mine numerous times and works well. If you are putting 2 smaller yorkies in it I still think you will need something. It seems pretty sturdy but haven't tried it with more than 3 pound and not too sure it's safe for two dogs.

Hi, I have a 4lb yorkie and she fits well but I think if she were double her size it may be way too tight :( sorry

I have two 60-70lb dogs. I put tue collar on very tight. If it has bad contact with the skin it won't shock effectively. It only took one shock from the collar to scare them away from my sofa

The collar will fit smaller dogs ,when I ordered mine,I only got one unit that would work

In my opinion this collar would be a little much for a 5 lb dog. My dog is a 50 lb pitbull and it fits her pretty good. My recommendation would be to contact PetSafe to see if they have a smaller one for your doggie. I hope this helps.

It's not worth it anyways. I bought one. My dog got it off his collar the next day. He wouldn't stay still enough to let me scan the tag either to see if it worked. In your case, Sherry, I think it would be to big for a Yorkie unless the tags came in different sizes and I didn't know it.

Don't buy it. A 3 lb dog is too small for this kind of collar. I have a 12 lb bichon and I sometimes think it is hurting her too much so I do not use it any more.

I bought the large one because I have three small yorkies and they fit in their fine there are different sizes for different pound dogs. my guess it weighs close to 35 to 40 pounds

Should not be a problem. I have 2 small Yorkies and I use it on them with no problem.

I wasn't able to use collar -- my dog didn't weigh enough. I would call the Dogtra people and see what they say. Good luck!

I have a 6 lb yorkie and she fit perfectly into the x-small. I recently uploaded a pic of her under the reviews. IT was so comfy that she immediately fell asleep. The weight of the xs is also perfect for the Yorkie's fragile neck. Good Luck with your pup.

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.

Hi Sandra. Both my dogs are around 18 lbs. The collar is a little big on my female. I am cutting it down to fit. You might have to get a smaller collar, length wise to use it. Just make sure it is the same width.

It isn't that heavy just a little bulky. Collar can be cut to fit pet. Don't keep on all the time. Start out just a few hours a day, times that you know pet usally barks for no reason. I have a doxie and I just only have to say collar now and he quits barking.

No. This collar fits my dog well and she's #35. It would overpower your yorkie.
