I would not put it on a puppy, especially when they are not even 1 year old. Also, my Maltese is 6lbs and although it worked liked a charm, its too big for her. That said, only get this when training fails. However, it's usually easier/better to train them when they are puppies. I never did and it was difficult to have a barking dog (especially at night!). But this product DID work and I put a review on it (see Gong Joo Owner) for the first time bc we can now sleep at night!

Thanks for the post, I have a 3 lbs chihuahua that barks all the time and thought this might work... glad I didn't waste my money :)

I have a mini-pin/chihuahua mix and she is about 20 lbs with most of it around her shoulders. The bottom strap is adjustable so it fits well in the shoulders and can be adjusted for the middle. I don't think it is too long for my girl. I know it's a pain but if it doesn't fit, you can always send it back.

I am not sure. I got the small and it fits our min pin/dash mix. she is small and weights about 12 lbs. I measured her per the instructions listed to determine size. I would just do that, but know that she can still bark in it, which is why we got it. It is helping, but if you are wanting to keep dog from biting then this is not for you. Hope this helps.

The collar can be adjusted for a small dog, however, I would advise you to use it for training only, we use ours only when the dog is outside. I now only have to use the warning button as she knows the next to come is the spray & she hates it.

The collar is too large for this size dog. I don't think they make collars for very small dogs.

I believe that this collar works best for all dogs over 12 pounds. We have a small mini-dashound and while it will adjust a works fine on her, it is too big and cumbersome for a "small dog".

Yes, absolutely! The citronella sprays in response to barking, and this interrupts the bad behavior so they stop barking. The collar is adjustable so it should fit. I hope this helps. It worked great for me.

No it should be just fine for your mix. I think that it might be difficult for anything smaller (mini doxi), but a standard dachshund and heeler mix will be a good size. Once you have fitted the collar you can cut the excess. And you can always keep it on a lower setting. I keep the collar on the lowest setting; and increase as needed.

We have a 10lb mini yorkie. the collar will fit, but the collar is too stiff (hard plastic) and the electronics box is very big compared to the dog.

My dog is about 22 lbs. the collar has plenty of room to size it down. The size of the device itself could be awkward for smaller dogs though

This collar is good for dogs 8 lbs and up who have a neck size of at least 6". If your dog is smaller, it is better to get the little dog collar instead of this one.

It is a very adjustable collar. My dog only weighs 34 pounds and it fits her but, would adjust to a smaller size as well. Hope this helps you in your decision.

The "shock box" on the collar is fairly large and having had a small dog that size, I think it would be too heavy.

I have a long-haired miniature dachsund and the collar ended up being a little too big on her. Its difficult to adjust as well.

My 6 month old is 16 pounds and is sill in the smaller one. We have this large one as well but it's still bigon her. Since you are close and wouldn't mind it being big, I would go with the larger one.

The medium size collar will be too big for an 8 lb puppy. You may want to buy a size small or extra small.

Just my opinion... NO. The collar unit is probably to big and heavy for a chihuahua, and the electric shock might be too much (as in dangerous) for such a tiny dog.
