is this too heavy for small dogs?

My dog is a small sized beagle about 25lbs. It depends on the size of the dog you have- I only put it on her when she slept so the weight wasn't an issue. I would say it may be too heavy for a toy breed of dogs.

I would say it would be too heavy for a teacup dog or very small dog. We used it on our puppy when she was about 15-20 lb and it was fine. I have to say that it worked like a charm. If she starts to bark, I only have to get it out of the box and she stops.

Michelle, if your puppy doesn't mind the weight of the Goughnut it would be great. Mine seems to think it's too heavy, so she doesn't bother with it... ours will last forever.

Yes, I think it would be too heavy to a tiny little dog. Again, this leash is not to be used as an actual walking or tie-out leash. This leash (Called a Long Line or Long Leash) is for training purposes. It is good to use in doing "recalls" with your dog. Recalls are training session where you put your dog on a Long Leash like this, let the dog wander away from you and then you call out his/her name: "Spot Come!". The idea is your dog is wandering and distracted and might not come when you call. The hope is he will come and you then reward him with a special yummy treat. Then you let him wander off again and call him back. And a Long Leash is also good if you have pond or lake and want to see if your can swim out in the water. With the long leash on, if your dog has difficulty swimming back, you are in control of him and can pull him back in.

It may be a little tight; as most dogs like room to turn around etc. I have a small puppy and it is just fine for him (4 lbs), but I already considered purchasing another larger one (one size larger). We have the large Rascal Dog and my puppy likes it much better than the smaller one.

I have a 4lb yorkie and this is fine for her. The bag itself is a bit heavy because of the sturdy construction and the real leather. It should be comfy for your dog, but not sure if it will be comfy for you to carry for long periods of time because it is a bit heavy.

Not sure if it would be too heavy, but probably look and maybe feel big and awkward. It fit my 54lb coonhound/lab mix just right and she really didn't seem to even notice it. She was a lot taller than your beagle though....

It's adjustable,but l think I remember reading that this is not appropriate for small dogs. I'd check into size/lb. requirements.

My dog hasn't had any problems with that, could maybe be a problem for smaller dogs

It might technically fit, but it would likely be too heavy and cumbersome for a dog &lt;20 lbs. I think for a small dog there are smaller and cheaper options.

yes, but my westie puppy was able to knock it over and it collapsed, so I think it would have to be a small one

It's not all that heavy, but it is a hard plastic. It makes quite a bit of noise when dropped on wood floors. If you have carpet, it might be OK. My dog loves it, but I always have her play outside with it mainly because our floors are wood, and the noise would be bothersome for us. Wish I could help you more.

You should be fine with the dogs. It's a light material but very strong. My dogs do the same thing and weight around 100lbs . Hope this helped.

I have a large german sheperd that I bought this for. I personally would not recommend this product for a small dog. The lowest setting on this was enough to make my dog behave but I feel it would be too much for a small dog.

Nope. For a larger dog. Also, too heavy and powerful for small dog in my opinion.

No is not, is only for small dogs up to 20 pounds. You should get one that is made out wood or strong plastic.

Yes for a small dog get a smaller. I have a beagle that weighs about 32 lbs. I bought a medium short hair and it works perfectly. I love this product. It performs exactly as stated. Hope this helps.

My dogs are small (6 lbs. 13 lbs) But when the little one pulls on the leash I hold the middle section between the two leashes and ithelps with the pulling. This leash is really a great one as it doesn't tangle and it's heavy duty. (just watch them as sometimes my dogs will go around you which can trip you) But, I think it should hold your dogs.
