I have a retriever puppy that is currently about 30lbs. He will be 80lb full grown. Can I get the small and keep adding extensions as he gets bigger?

I'm not sure that would work. I have two dogs. One needs the size large and he is about 90 pounds. The other dog is about 40 pounds and wears the small. Her small halter would not work on the larger dog due to the shape even if I could add enough extensions to get it around him.

I don't know about extentions. I ordered small and exchanged for medium for a wt of 48-50 lbs. Not sure if the basic portion of the set up is the same in all sizes.

You probably would be better off buying a Gentle Leader harness first so that your pup learns not to pull when walking. I used the D and T harness after my pup had been through a couple of obedience classes. She is a service dog so the D & T harness works well. If your pup/dog is a puller then this harness will only reinforce his pulling. That said, there are girth extensions available but I don't know how comfortable it would be having multiple extensions on the harness. Having multiple extensions might also create multiple weak points since the buckles are plastic. Good luck.

The only way to make it smaller would be to cut it off at one of the stabilizer rings. I am not sure how effective that would be, but it might work. My dog was still a puppy -- 6 months old when we got it for him. He had never seen one and went right for it. He loves it. He is about 19 1/2 pounds now and about 13 inches high at the shoulders. Good luck. Sounds like your pup is adventuresome! Good luck.

It will be a little large, but your puppy should grow into it. Our lab mix is around 40lbs. and I took it up about an inch each side of the neck adjustment to get it as tight as I wanted. The girth adjustments still could be tightened or loosened.

I would think so. Is your dog a puppy or fully grown and how much does the dog weigh?

I have an 85# golden retriever 'pup' 8 months old, and the collar slowed him down the first few times, but his coat is so thick, he doesn't care about the points on the collar. I am considering a shock collar instead to try to get some control-I have had several large dogs before and not had a problem being the leader- each dog is different I guess. I also am hoping when he is neutered it will help too. You may need something more powerful to master your dog before he gets any bigger-at 13 weeks he should not be aggressive-your best answers may be in talking to your vet for recommendations in training. The DVD's with this system (I have found) are unrealistic in the results you can get from this collar.

I have a 6 month pup that is a little over 30 pounds and I have the collar as small as it Will go so I would assume not. But idk

I would, especially if she isn't full grown. My lab is now 105lbs and it held him up well. He loves floating!

david-can you get a 120 lb dog to get up 30.5 inches and the foot pump him or her up. we decides that our 105 lb golden doodle would have a problem. suggestion, buy some leather chews f/amazon and a quality electric shaver w/attachments for the trim. good luck

It is made for a toy size; if the puppy is going to get bigger he may grow into it. Otherwise it would have to be altered to be useful to you. I had to alter my large for the 175 lb English Mastiff. Looks like a scarf on him.

Probably extra extra small or you can pin a extra small one so you can use itstill as the puppy grows

Hi Michael, I got the smaller one for my maltese...but she quickly grew out of it...but she is a bigger dog at 10 lbs. I think if your pup is just 4-5 lbs...the small one would work. It is a good looking product and I enjoyed using it when my girl was a puppy. Hope this helps. I gave mine to the local shelter and they plaeend on using it for the smaller pups and kitties so they could work and still have them with them. Good Luck...Julie

Hello, the collar expands up to 28 inches from tip to tip, but keep in mind you can also put the receiver part on any nylon collar with holes in it, so if you needed something larger you could unscrew the posts and put it on a new one. The strength of the collar is adjustable and is idea for a dog from 75-100 pounds...no problem at all.

We have a 12 pound Pomeranian and he kept walking out of the extra small size and I was afraid to tighten them anymore. So I don't think the extra small would work for you.

My puppy is a toy poodle I've had since 8 wks n she has had plenty of room to grow. Hope that helps.

My cat is 8 pounds and the small fits her perfectly. I assume your puppy will grow, so if it's a tad big, he will grow into it.

We have a 20# Jack Rossell mix. She is rather long and has short legs. We are glad we got the medium rather than the small. A medium will easily handle 40# but I would look at your dog's height and length rather than weight. We are happy with are purchase.

If you order according to neck size of dog it will be fine. Remember your pup will grow fast and the collar is adjustable. However, if you buy the small or medium now, you may need the large by the time the dog is full grown.
