How large of a dog would this trap work for? Is it big enough to catch a large beagle?

I think it would, assuming the dog wants to go in! It caught a raccoon that weighed probably 25-30 lbs.

yes shouldn't have a problem' if the dog is hungry I caught larger as they crawled into the trap to get the bait and couldn't stand up when the trap triped.

I don't think it would be tall enough. It does have a lot of room. But not enough for a dog. I used mine to catch a ferrel 6mth old cat. Trying to catch a beagle. May take imagination. Such as a kennel with a stick with a string attached and propping up the door. Watch and wait. When the dog enters. Pull the string on the door. Or a bigger havahart trap.

A large mature beagle will be significantly taller than the 15 inch height of the trap, and so it may be reluctant to go in. It may work if the dog is attracted to the bait, but I would look for something a bit larger.

Susannah :no problem , this trap will accomodate a fair size dog . as a matter of fact I did trap a beagle with this trap.(about 25 lbs)...hope this helps.

probably not and if so anything as strong as a large beagle might be able to do signifcanr dmg to the cage once it is trapped inside.

Yes! It's definitely big enough, and will probably be the perfect size for a large dog. My dog is 75lbs and this toy was almost too big for him, so if your dog is a similar or larger size, they will be quite happy!

I would say it's a medium trap. Opening when set is about 2.75 inches wide. For me it traps and kills small to medium gophers no problem. The larger gophers seem to get trapped but it doesn't kill them instantly. I LOVE my traps. I've taken more than 3 dozen gophers off my lot since I purchased them. I don't need any bait or poison which is a plus since I have a dog. Hope that helps.

Hi, In my opinion it would be too small for the animals you describe. I have Cairn Terriers and it is really the perfect size for them. I am sure a large dog could use it as well.

Our dog is 85#. It is adjustable & attaches tote collar. I'm not sure about the large being big enough. The control is more about head. Perhaps a prong collar that pitches if the dog pulls you might be a temporary trainerase. Big dogs learn quick not to pull when it pitches.

What do you mean by small? The bottom trap portion is larger than another brand trap I own if that helps.

The bigger one (I have used this to catch baby rats) is Havahart 0745 Live Animal Professional Style One-Door Chimpunk, Squirrel, Rat, and Weasel Trap. It works great!

This is for a larger dog, 100 lbs. It would be a little big for an 18 lb dog, but would work.

I forgot to say this has worked very well for my dogs. They were shocked once and now leave it alone. I usually have it off. I don't know about larger animals.

yes. It works great for large dogs. One zap and they wont come at you again. It doesnt seem to harm them, just freaks them out.

Mine did not catch even a single gopher even tho it did trip once. I carefully placed it according to the directions to no avail. I did notice that it takes a lot of force to trip the trap--I doubt that a mole would be big or strong enough to do so. Even a gopher can get past the trip wire without releasing it. Trapline products.com makes the supposed hot ticket for moles.

Yes, It will work for both size dogs and it really helps to keep them from pulling.

It would probably comfortably fit a dog the maximum size of a beagle. My only problem with it was you had to take it completely apart for it to be flat, rather than just being able to fold it down which is why I purchased it.

I have a dog the same size, beagle mix, and she seems okay with it. It doesn't work consistently but it doesn't seem to bother her either.

I believe this size trap is too big for mice. They either dont trip the bar or they slip through the mesh. Mine traps chipmunks successfully so I image it would trap like-sized rats.

A large boar raccoon did a number on my trap. I can't give a specific answer except that it took a lot of tweaking of the trip rod and the hinge loops on the pad to get it working again.

I'm not sure if I purchased the small or large, but I thought it was big enough for my 2 beagles. I have to turn it over on its side for my female beagle to get her toys, but my male Beagle has no problem getting his toys.
