I have a 4 pound Yorkshire terrier and had a difficult time using this product because her neck is so small in diameter that the two electrodes often were not touching her neck at the same time. It is small and light enough, but would work better on a breed with a thicker neck.

Yes, but I suggest that you shock yourself with each level before using just so you have a sense of what your doggy will experience. I have a 10 lb dog and levels 1 & 2 are as far as I go in most situations. I've only used level 4 once when she was chasing another dog into a dangerous situation. There is an associated sound that csn be used separately and works most of the time alone without the shock.

It would probably be kind of big for a 5 lb dog. We have it on our bichon who weighs approx 12 lbs and it fits fine and works great. We've had no issue with the battery and still on the first one after approx 2 mos of use, we do turn it off at night.

I would say No. Not comfortably. My dog is 5 pounds and he has little room to rotate. 10 pounds, max. Also, experiences from our hikes, the padding is heavy quilt and no air circulation so, on hot days your pet will overheat. I have been wrapping a gel icepack at the bottom to keep him cool.

no it wont... i have a jack russel/pug mix and hes only 13lbs and i had to get a medium for him. it works great and i love them for my dogs.. especially when we are away for a little while i dont have to worry about them marking in the house... after a while they learn to not do it at all and then you mite not have to use it on your dog. i have to every now and then remind them if they do mark in the house that they will have to wear it... mine tend to not like to wear it so after a day or 2 of having to wear it again they stop marking... just a little reminder to them as to what happens if you do mark in the house what happens.. (have to wear the diaper)....

I would say yes. My dog is 5 pounds and he fits just right. It might be too tight for your dog.

My dogs are 80 lbs +. I would recommend that you contact the manufacturer for small dog applications. I would not believe the settings on the lowest would be detrimental. But incorrect application could create more problems between you and your dog. Use this tool sparingly.

I think so. My Dog is a Rough Collie, and he weighs 107 lbs. Not fat, just a big boy.

No. These steps wouldn't be appropriate for any animal over 20 pounds, in my opinion.

Hi, This dog fence collar is appropriate for all pets five pounds and up. You can program the PetSafe Deluxe Ultralight Collar to exactly the proper correction level for you pet so it can be used with a pet;with any temperament. Thanks!

You should be fine with the dogs. It's a light material but very strong. My dogs do the same thing and weight around 100lbs . Hope this helped.

No, my puppy was almost 4 lbs and it was fine. Straps not meant for large person though.

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

I think that this would work all right for your dog. I have a dog that weights about 25 lbs and it works well. You will need to set the shock setting very low. I have the shock set on 20 and works very well.

You could always get a new collar (there is one provided) but the health and wellness of the dog may be affected. I believe the animal should be over 30 lbs for use. But you could always just use the vibration setting.

I don't think so. I used it on two 10lb pups and even at its tightest setting it was a bit large. I hope that helps.

I would say probably not. The amount of Collar is barely tight enough for my 10 lb Poodle. It will go a little tighter than what I have it as, but I do not believe it would get small enough for your 5 lb Yorkie.

NO! At least not to my 100 lb. dog. Maybe if u have a small dog. Very disappointed.
