Can it be used on an 11 pound dog ?

Hi Sandra. Both my dogs are around 18 lbs. The collar is a little big on my female. I am cutting it down to fit. You might have to get a smaller collar, length wise to use it. Just make sure it is the same width.

Yes, we used on a smaller dog than what was recommended. We had to get a smaller collar to attach the device to, but there are rubber covers to "lessen" the shock for smaller dogs. We have felt totally comfortable with its use for our 11 pound weenie dog:)

I'll agree with previous responders, usable depending on the collar. I used my smaller Doug's regular collar that I could expand to accomadate the "shock" unit but it worked great! My "more sensitive" dog ended up needing the mild shock but my smaller "tuff" boy is intimidated be just the noise if it goes off on my girl. Only needed them for a couple weeks, then handed it on to my son for his dog, mine are much more obedient & regular training methods of reward & voice are working now for my 2 pups! Good luck!

Yes no problem. The collar is adjustable. You may not be able ro get it real tight but it works on my small dog about that size.

This is only my opinion. If you get a collar small enough. For the 11 pound dog, I would not use the shock feature. The vibrate feature will be enough to alter the dog's behavior. The collar comes with metal studs, and rubber studs for long and short hair dogs. For an 11 lb dog, I would only use the rubber studs. IF the dog does not respond to the vibrate, then 1 low shock with the rubber studs will get his attention after the vibrate so that any future vibrate warnings will make him respond. HOWEVER, BEFORE YOU TAKE THIS ADVICE, PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR VETERINARIAN.

Yes,I have a small feisty chihuahua and the module is not too big. I had to trim he collar to make it smaller and secure it with a zip tie. It works fine and with the adjustment buckle it will fit dogs that are a bit bigger.

I use it on my 11 pound dog it's a little thick but it's very sturdy It will definitely grow with the dog

It would not fit a 6 lb dog with the current collar. You may be able to put it on a different collar to make it fit, but the unit itself may still be awkward for a 6 lb dog to have on his or her neck.

Definitely, my dogs are 6-12 lbs and it works best with the neoprene harness.

According to the Einstein web site, this collar can be used on dogs 5 lbs or larger, so you should be okay.

Absolutely , I wouldn't recommend it to any dogs bigger then 6 to 8 pounds. To allow the dog to have a little leg room. 8)

Possibly...but my experience is with 2 dogs, one that is 48lbs and one 95lbs. This product is a life/time saver.

Yes. It worked great for my American BullDog/Dogo and he is 70 lbs. I would recommend it for any dog less than 100 lbs.

It works well on our 70-80 lb. Lab and Labradoodle mix. My sister used it on her 90 lb. Great Dane. All were properly introduced to the system and all boundaries were flagged.

It's fine for my eleven pound dachshund but I'm having trouble getting it to work on my eight pound Pom. I have a collar that I've put on a collar that is smaller than it one it came on and I'm trying to get the connectors to work right. The collar that comes with it is way too big. So...I haven't figured out the right combination yet to see if I can get it to work. If I do, I'll post it to this same inquiry.

Yes, you could use this collar for a ten pound dog. Refill canisters of citronella are available- I would also buy extra batteries as well.

We use this size for a puppy right now -- who will grow to about 11 lbs. We also have a 36" length for a 1-yr old dog.

This collar is very adjustable and can fit a very small dog. I'm not sure if the manufacturer recommends using it on dogs under 10 pounds.

We have a twelve pound mini schnauzer and it works well for them. It is adjustable in the girth. I am not sure as our dogs are bigger.

The medium size is perfect for an 11 pound dog. You won't regret the purchase

I think this question is answered in the description for the product. I really don't know my dog only weighs 11 lbs., but the stairs can certainly handle more than that, I'd say at least 20 - 25 lbs., but that's just a guess. They are very sturdy.

I am not sure. My dog is only 11 lbs. but I will tell u that she loves being in it. We take her everywhere with us
