I have 2 small dogs. They have 15'' necks. They are long-hair &amp; their collars always mat their fur. Will these collars mat fur? Which size to get?

I'm not sure. I have a bigger dog around 70lbs and he likes to run and chase stuff mostly cars so I need a larger and stronger collar with the chain. The reflective part works great

Just read other responses, I'd check the Cesar Millan site as suggested. That is how I decided. My smaller dog who wears the small is short haired. My medium size one has long hair & a much gentler personality. He is more into the Medium size per fitting info but I think he could wear a small.

I would recomend Large. My dog had a 19' neck and the large fit great with room to grow. They are really nice collars.Hope this helps!

If your dogs neck is 18 inches you should probably consider going with a large. My dogs neck is 14 inches and there is no room for growth, so a large is definitely the way to go for your dog.

My dog is a German shephard and the collar did not work. I'm assuming it is because I read another review that said the collar needs to have close skin contact and I won't shave my dogs neck. I would try another collar if I were you

My dog isn't long haired, but she is shaggy. The collar comes with 2 sized prongs, I use the short ones, but I think if you separated the hair when placing it on the pup and used the long prongs, it would probably work.

I used it on my adult great dane with no problems. He has short hair so i don't know how well it would work on a dog with long hair. The collar is plenty long enough for him but im not sure it would be with long fur.

The collar might not be tight enough on his neck. My shepherd doesnt feel it unless its tight on his neck and not loose and he responds to the low settings. My other dog has short hair but hes a big boy and he responds too usually a high 6

I have an eighty pound German shorthair. The collar is very large I had to cut quite a bit off. There will be plenty of collar for your dog.

If your dog is not likely to be growing into a thicker neck, I would think (but can't be certain) that the small, which claims to go up to 12" and is only 3/4" wide might be the better choice. Otherwise you will have a lot of extra loop hanging down (which dog could get caught on). I have only had experience with the 1" wide large & medium collars. Good luck to you and your canine pal!

The product description on one of these (medium/large) collar lists medium neck size 16-19" and large neck size 20-24". I believe my boyfriend and I use the large one on our two big dogs, both weighing in close to eighty pounds. It depends on the size of your dog and his neck.

well I measure my dog...he is 15- 15 1/2...I got the small they are adjustable...and I have a real hard time getting the two connections together...Dog doesn't want to wait...I think I would go medium and adjust...I have a mina. austrailian shepard...and full of hair so it is doubly difficult to attach...It is worth it however, as it does change the walk...like it...I forget what size the medium fits...

I bought both (large for my husky medium for my boxer) and they basically are yes. The prongs in the large are thicker and the collar is slightly bigger too, however chances are with a large you'll have to take a prong or two out to fit your dog snugly so if you got the medium you would be okay as well. I have used the medium on my husky (with a couple prongs taken out) and it's been just fine. So basically unless your dog has a super large neck then you can probably go medium and be alright.

I got the small one for long hair for my Japanese Chin.... beagles have short hair right? Then I would say get the small brush for short hair dogs.Anise

For my Scottish Terriers I got Mediums, 10 to 13" neck size. Depending on what type of dog you have determines size. When you look at them on Amazon each size gives the neck diameter they fit and a general list of the type of dogs each is suited for.

I have one of these collars for both of my 75lb dogs. It is the only collar that works EVEN through their thick fur.
