Is this collar too big for a maltese

Yes. I would think so anyway. It's a nice size for our golden retrievers. Personally, the smallest I'd go would be an average beagle size.

Yes, I would think it would be quite heavy/bulky around a little maltese neck. They're similar in size to any of the correction collars - maybe you can check the size at your local pet store.

It might technically fit, but it would likely be too heavy and cumbersome for a dog <20 lbs. I think for a small dog there are smaller and cheaper options.

The collar may be too big for a Maltese. The box on the collar is roughly 2.5 inches wide 1 inch thick and 1 inch high. I didn't like the collar that came with the receiver, so I heated a small screwdriver and burned two holes in a nylon collar and put the receiver on that. Hope this helps

Thank you for your question! This particular collar is recommended for pets weighing at least 8 pounds. For your Maltese/Shih Tzu pup, we would recommend the Elite Little Dog In-Ground Fence This system is still capable of containing up to 10 acres, but has a smaller receiver collar that may be a better fit for her.

The collar is adjustable but usually these anti-bark collars are for the smaller 'yappy' dogs. :) Sometimes, I just have to show my miniature schnauzer the collar and he'll calm down. Not because this is harmful or anything but because he knows that he'll get a surprise if he barks. If you need further detail, I can check out my dog's collar when I get home and see the length of the collar so you can tell if it would fit your dog.

My maltese is 5.5 pounds and she fits there very good. She still has room to move around and seems comfortable.

I have 5 pound maltese and they are a little big for her. But they stay on! I would recommend buying the smallest size xx-small for your dog!

It would be better if you can measure your Vizsla's neck. That's how I get the sizing for all my dogs' collars.

Yes. This will be fine for a yorkie or even two. My Maltese is 5 pounds and has plenty of room.

No, my 13 pound Maltese needs a large. I got her a medium and it is too small. Item is very well made. Check the sizes given on th product, they vary. I made the mistake of ordering by Diamond's normal size. The items made in China run small, but what I have gotten, is very well made. Since I check their size chart , I don't have any problem.

I no longer own this collar for my dog. But I have a medium size cocker spaniel. There were several holes to buckle it and I had it on the last one; so I would venture to say it would fit your dog for sure. Its really pretty.

I think it might be too small. I bought a medium for my 12 lb. maltese mix--and it fits perfectly. Hope this helps.

Our Maltese is 5 lbs. The device does look big on her, but doesn't obstruct any of her daily activities.

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

It will probably fit but my dogs are unaffected by this collar don't waste your money!

It should, I have a Maltese that weighs 13 lbs. She usually wears a medium, but this runs small. I went up to a large and it fits great.

it would be a tight fit. bought it for my 8lb yorkie and it fits snuggly. it is a very beautiful collar.

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!!

It was very accurate on the recommendation of our maltese. I believe that it would work perfectly. I bought the xs for our maltese & the small for our jack russell terror and the sizes I purchased was the recommended size. I hope this helps.
