Does this work on small dogs? Does the citronella collar work with Pomeranians and small dogs of that size?

Works great on my 15-lb Pomeranian. Love, love, love it. Doesn't work for my 5-lb Pom. His bark is too high-pitched and won't trigger the collar. UPDATE: Two years after purchase, the device still works for the 15-lb Pom. But I think she's getting used to the spray. She won't bark for minor things, but major distractions will cause her to bark, even through the spraying. I'm thinking of trying a shock collar -- or maybe just refresh her obedience training. My little guy is actually 4 lbs. The collar will work if placed very tightly. But it looks huge and uncomfortable against his throat when it's placed that tightly. I put it on him for maybe an hour max whenever he starts to become a nuisance with his barking (once a week or less). So this collar will work for smaller dogs, but it's just too uncomfortable to keep on for longer periods of time.

Unfortunately this will not fit tiny breeds, the collar was too big for my 8 pound schnoodle. It fits my medium sized Canaan perfectly.

The dog we routinely ( 2x /week) is 70 pounds. We have a mini dashound and she could wear it after adjustments are made. However, my opinion only, this bark control collar, works best on medium to very large dogs. It believe that it is too big for small dogs under 12 pounds!

No each set of collars seems to work on different wave length. I have five little yappers and four of them, young ones, wear the collars. I have to use two different controls for them. Thank the lord I marked the collars to match the controllers or some one would be corrected when they were innocent. The number five dog is to old to change.

We bought it for our two chihuahua mixes who are 11 and 10 lbs and it works great. We did have to buy a smaller collar because the one that came with it was too big.

We have a miniature daschund and it did NOT work at all- HUGE disappointment! Same thing happened for us as I read on another review- when we blow into it, it sprays; but for whatever reason, when the dog barks, it doesn't spray. Our dog barks all the time and it is so frustrating. However, we are hopeful and are going to buy another one and try again. I am hoping that one was a bad egg. We've had several different vets recommend the citronella collar. I would recommend buying at Petco though, b/c if it doesn't work, you have 30 days to return it- that's what we did. Don't know what the case is with buying it online. We have a miniature daschund and it did NOT work at all- HUGE disappointment!

I do not claim to be an expert, but the way this leash is designed, I believe that it will work for a dog of this size. One of "our" dogs, which is in the small to medium range pulled like crazy before getting this leash. It attaches to an existing collar and wraps around the dogs mid section, which adjusts to the dog size--the bigger the mid-section, the shorter the leash as one may guess. I hope this helps.

Hi Terri: I have not tried the Furminator on a small short haired dog: However, next time I go to the animal shelter I will try it on a few different dogs and get back to Amazon with my experiment.

I would not put it on a puppy, especially when they are not even 1 year old. Also, my Maltese is 6lbs and although it worked liked a charm, its too big for her. That said, only get this when training fails. However, it's usually easier/better to train them when they are puppies. I never did and it was difficult to have a barking dog (especially at night!). But this product DID work and I put a review on it (see Gong Joo Owner) for the first time bc we can now sleep at night!

It should work for any size--you have to buy the halter/harness it attaches to separately. That's where the size differential would come in. I haven't tried it with two dogs at the same time--there's only one extension with the Zip that attaches to the harness. If you are going to try two dogs simultaneously, I would suggest calling the company and finding out if they sell the additional extension line.

We purchased ours for an 8lb puppy. I believe that the instructions say its for dogs 8lbs and up. The collar can be made smaller or bigger, you just have to be careful of the antenna located in the collar. It worked well with our puppy. Also there are different settings for the strength of the shock so make sure it's not on the highest setting when you first try it. You can work your way up to find the setting that works best.

Personally, I have only used the citronella collar and found it to work very well. The only thing is that my dog got used to the smell of the citronella and after a few months, it didn't bother him that much. It also runs out of the collar fairly quickly so I had to keep filling it.

Hello, dear customer, this dog trainer can be used for small or medium dogs. The item has a shock or vibration when it works. and it has no hurt to dogs. best regards, lemonbest

I think it might be a bit large for a Pomeranian weighing 4 pounds....may be a bit too wide. I have a Great Pyrenees that I use it on and do have a friend with a rough-haired Collie who is much smaller than my dog but the Collie loves being brushed with this.

I have this shock collar & it works well for my 30 plus pound Aussie but I'm thinking it would be to large for your small dog & it might be to heavy for a small 10 pound dog if it did fit its neck.

I think they have a small dog version, but no, you couldn't use the collar I have on a dog that small. Even the regular collar, not the "stubborn dog" one, would be too big. The electric fence is excellent for all medium size or large dogs, no matter their temperament, and can save you a fortune on fencing a large property! Good luck!
