How old must a puppy be to wear this collar?

The package says "can be used by dogs of all breeds and ages." It is just lavender and chamomile so it shouldn't cause any problems. i have found it quite effective on my dog.

Yes, I believe so. My puppy started wearing it at 4 months old with no ill effect.

I found 30 days is typically the limit. I keep the collar in a sealed bag when not in use to help preserve it. I use two or three days a week when my dog goes to a play group for up to 10 hours each day. Works wonders for my dog, but I know from experience it doesn't work for all dogs.

Lisa, thank you for your question!Please know that this product is to eliminate nuisance barking only and should only be worn during times you do not want your pet to bark. With consistency and proper training, most pets will learn when it is and is not ok to bark. For the comfort of your pet, we recommend that this collar not be worn more than 8 hours each day.

When they are that young, I don't believe the collar would work. They have so much natural energy for the first year or two, I don't think anything could curb that. Just try to wear her out by playing with her a lot!

I have a year old puppy with a 13 inch neck and I ordered a medium. It ran a little big but there was plenty of room to make it smaller. I ordered a large for my GSP adult male and had to size that to fit as well. My guess is they run large but are easily sized to fit your dog as needed. A puppy is going to grow but an adult dog will stay true to size. Hope that helps. We love our collars!

The collar should extend past the nose at least an inch or more to ensure dog can't get to the affected area. 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.

Too young. Your dog is young enough to train. Mine was not. I did this collar so my daughter could walk her. It truly does help, but we started using this on my 10 year old 70 lb dog. And it works.... Had I trained her in the beginning, I would not have needed this...

You can start using them at about 5 months and up to 2 years. The collar part is stretchy so depending on the size of the head it will determine how easy it would go over. Hope this helps.

It says up to 12" for a small dog. Mine is. It gives a slag of an inch or so to make it comfortable. His neck size is about 12" in generous measurement, and he did not mind the collar at all.

It depends. If you want to spot correct bad behavior then you should leave them on. I put them on my two labs everyday. The dogs get used to the collars pretty quick.

You can actually contact thane.com who sell the Don Sullivan Perfect dog collars. S.M.L correspond with the neck measurement of the dog. Small is 14" to 18" and so on. For a puppy that is expected to grow into a large do you may perhaps want to size up since the dog will be growing. Best to check with the company though, I am not an authority.

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

It all depends on the neck size. This one here is for 12 to 17 inch necks. So if your dog is smaller than a 12 inch neck size you will need a small.

It depends on the dog. I have two vizslas. One still needs the collar periodically, while the other rarely needs it. The one that needs the collar won't engage in the behavior at all with the collar on, but will on occasion if I take it off.
