I need to prevent my large dog (60 pounds) from being able to reach his rump (at the base of his tail). Would this prevent that? He's very flexible.

The collar inflates like a donut. The size small keeps my 18 lb dog from accessing an incision on his stomach. Assuming the collar is proportional, it should work well. If not, Amazon's return policy should take it back if not working as intended.

If you make sure it does not deflate at all and stays snug around their neck I think it would work. My dog is about 55 pounds and can still reach her paws and tail. The outside of the kong cloud is a thin soft material. Does not seem very durable. My dog has already chewed the zipper and Velcro strap because it deflated and she slipped it off. Hope this helps!

Used it on my 68# GSP when we were forced to dock his tail and it was fine.

My dog is 65-70 lbs, and flexible.. it kept her from reaching her wound on the base of her tail. That said, my research indicated that choosing the correct size was important.. I'm sure all dogs are different, but this product worked like a charm for my girl. I can't say for certain that your dog isn't more flexible or resourceful than mine, but it worked great for us.

I have a 70lb lab, and he really likes to curl up in it, but if he were any bigger he wouldn't fit very well. He does stretch out across it sometimes.

No. I wish it would to force him back. My dog has learned to take the brief shock and keep going oitside the boundary. Additional information: This unit is not good for dogs such as retrievers that will submerge it in water. It is not waterproof.

Front elbows? Probably,My Dalmatian was able to reach his back leg with collar on. May wanna look at the inflatable ring collar. I bought both. I found the inflatable collar at Petsmart

Quite unlikely. Our dog has a long nose and reachimg her rear with the collar.on would be oit of the question.

My dog is 65 lbs. and freaks out during thunderstorms and fireworks (if in the area). I have the 61 inch gate enclosure separating a sun room from the kitchen (all windows and no place to hide his head). I saw one attempt to climb over but made him stop, I don't know what he does when I am not home but so far I see no damage to the gate. I am really pleased with it (didn't think it would work, but stronger than I thought). Hope this helps PS: I have always had trouble with tension shower curtain rods. Screw it to your wall it works better!

My Rott is 120# and we purchased a LARGE. His body size is more of a German rather than an American Rott. We needed a device to hoist him into a sit/standing position from lying down because his back legs are no longer strong enough. The front half of the design of this harness works fairly well; we detached and disposed of the back half because it cut a groove into his groin...that which resulted in a serious infection. We now supplement a sheepskin lined harness similar to a fire log carrier to hoist his back half into a stand position(after lifting his front half into a sit position).

Honestly, probably not. I bought this for my Siberian Husky when we had her spayed and she couldn't reach the stitches on her stomach but she could still reach sections of her back legs/feet. It could hinder the dog a bit from getting to their foot, but if they are really determined, I don't think this collar would stop your dog from reaching their foot.

My dog couldn't reach anything, but I also bought the collar an inch too long for her. It hits them near the shoulders, so it's quite difficult for them to move the head downward. I wouldn't think the elbows would be within reach, but some dogs are creative and flexible!

This is a great solution. I have a HUGE 126 lbs dog that can reach everything on the counter, and enjoys our comfortable bed. When the scatmat is on either of these he won't go near it. It worked so well that we don't even turn it on anymore, just lay it out, and he hates it. Definitely buy the mat and the extension too, to cover more area.

Not to my knowledge! I no longer have mine as I went to a grooming table because this was a bit small for my little guy! Would it be possible to jam something into it to keep it from moving so much?Since I don't have mine now I can't try to see if that would work. I'm so sorry I couldn't be more help. My little guy is about 27 lbs. and doesn't fit on it anymore.

Not sure, just know that it did not keep our dog from reaching his back hip.

I honestly cannot answer this for you. I bought this for my 50 pound dog and was advised not to use it as it could potentially cause hip problems.

My dog is a Rottie mix, about 75 lbs and he had trouble reaching his feet with this on. So I'd say if you get the collar in the correct size your dog shouldn't be able to reach his elbows. But be sure to measure correctly both width and length. the one I bought was slightly wider then the area between his head and body which made it a bit uncomfortable for him. I had bought the blow up kind first and he had no trouble reaching any part of his body

Mine is skinnier at top, however if yours is skinny on both ends I'm sure you can tighten it equally.. Another possibility is to buy the round spare part to add to the bottom piece. I am very happy with mine, my dogs can take it off now

Yes, it completely covers the area the dog might try to "jump" through. It makes a very effective barrier. However, be warned - that any determined dog, small or large is going to be able to move it around - it's attached with bungy cords - probably need steel straps to keep a large dog from completely coming through if the dog is really determined. :-)

It might-if your dog will not try to jump over it or push it down. I have used it that way when our dog was a puppy and couldn't jump over it or knock it over. Now she is big and would push it right over!
