Can I use this leash on a 6 lb. chihuahua who was never leash trained and just won't budge?

Yes, it should work. I have a 15 lb Cocker Spaniel and it worked perfectly!

To be honest I'm not sure. Our dog is 70 lbs and we have no problems. It is thicker than many other leashes.

In my opinion, this unit would not be suitable for a chihuahua mix at 10 lbs. It will be too large.

I am not sure. My dog is a 7 lb chihuahua and is very comfortable in it. I add a little padding to boost her up a little more so I imagine it would take a larger dog well.

No. My chihuahua is 5 pounds and they flew off her paws. Gave them away to friend with bigger dog.

I got this for my tiny chihuahua, a black lab would easily get over it. You would need a 36 or taller, depending on if your lab jumps..hope this helps..

You could but it would depend on the size of your puppy. If your puppy is very tiny and a tiny breed, I believe this leash would be too "heavy". It would still be worth a try however. This leash a excellent training tool and great for recalls (letting your puppy walk/run away from you and once away you call his/her name and your dog comes to you). Excellent quality.

As far as I know, yes. I use it for 2 chihuahuas. One is 7lbs and the other is 6lbs. Together they have plenty of room.

In my opinion, no. My Chihuahua is only 9lbs and that was pushing it. It destroyed his back. Steroids & pain killers for 2 weeks for him. :(

Sorry it took me so long to answer, just saw the email. It probably will. I started out with the small version for my 15 pound rescue mix. somewhere i graduated to the large version because at almost a year old, she's about 50 pounds and acts more like a pit than the lab/shepard that i was lead to believe. she pulls like crazy and i don't think the leash helps al that much, at least not as much as a choke collar would, but I'd rather go this way than the choke collar. i guess it depends on the dog. Suzi's will is more powerful than the constriction on her chest, so she still pulls. Hope this helps. Sorry it took me so long to answer, just saw the email. It probably will.

I have two fairly tiny Chihuahuas and this works great (6.5 pounds and 4.5 pounds). The leash is fantastic. First walk out was such a dream compared to what it had been to walk them both. Because the dogs are so small, they could get underfoot in a nanosecond without me realizing it. I just came back to this site to order another one so I have a lifetime supply! Hope I can find it in other colors as well (it's orange and yellow -- very bright)! But it could come in any color. I would not care because it works so well.

Yes, this 3/8" 6 feet lead is very good for training. I have small hands, and this may just be me, the only thing I did not like was that I wished it was thicker in order to have a better grip on it. Why? When I got Bella, my pit bull mix from BARCS, she pulled so much and was so hard to train that it was a little while before I was able to use on her. But, now that she is more manageable I use this leash for training.

I have this leash for my two 50 lb. dogs. I believe the company makes one for smaller dogs.

That's not gonna be a problem with this gate. Your Chihuahua will never jump over this gate. You can rest assured.

I don't know. Our dog is about 60lb. I don't think it is the size of the dog that is a problem but rather the poor design of the leash. I would not spend $100+ on that particular leash. It wasn't worth it.

My chihuahua is 10 lbs. and it's fine. I also have a 4 lb. chihuahua....I would not use it on her. Hope this helps. =)

I would assume so. We have a dane mix who is quite strong and we are not as physically able as once we were. Walking him was difficult for us. With this harness he cannot pull. Anyone can walk him without issue. He is not bothered at all by it. He reacts just like when we get the leash, excited. It is a great tool.
