Will this work for a small dog? My dog is 15lbs.

The receiver box on the collar is rather large. The collar is 3/4 - 5/8" wide. I don't think it will fit properly on such a small dog.

I don't know since I used it on dogs that weighed from 40 to 60 lbs. However, it quit on me in less than a year with average use and a friend of mine had one that quit on hers, too, so since I just needed it for night time barking I ordered the much less expensive no bark collar and am extremely happy with it. But if you are wanting this for more complex training, I would recommend another brand given that myself and one other person I know had it fail on them at about the same length of use.

Yes, but it may be too much of a jolt. I would go for a smaller collar and go with a brand other than Sportdog due to their reliability issues

The petite size is for dogs the weigh 15 - 25 pounds. Hope this was helpful!

I think that this would work all right for your dog. I have a dog that weights about 25 lbs and it works well. You will need to set the shock setting very low. I have the shock set on 20 and works very well.

My Mini Schnauzer is 17 pounds and the small works great on her. We have the next size up for our rather large 32 pound Male Mini Schnauzer and that one is too big for my girl. You definitely don't want to use the larger size on your pup.

Yes, I believe it will adjust that small. I have an Aussie who is 45 pounds, but looking at the collar, it should work.

My dog is 60 pounds and it works for her. I would imagine that it would work for a bigger dog, the size definitely isn't an issue.

Yes, it should work. I have a 15 lb Cocker Spaniel and it worked perfectly!

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.

no this would not work way to big it seems like they have a special collar for smaller dogs. I ordered this and had to return it for a 15 20lb dog but also have a yorkie and there is no way it would have worked for my yorkie I thought it was almost to big for the other dog

It may work for you if he stays smaller, but think about his max weight. The dog does sit low like the pic, but You may be able to position him up a little more. My dog was a 7lb puppy at the time I was using it and really, that's too much weight to carry low like that. I almost altered it to be a few inches shorter. It does give them security and closeness to you as a puppy... I hope this helps.

Probably depends on how well behaved your dog is. If he/she doesn't lunge or pull, then it would probably work fine. The clasp was larger than what I needed for my 15 pound terrier, so it could be strong enough for a larger dog.

I have two mini poodles 12 & 15 lbs. and I think it would be a tight fit. I have one for each dog.

Our dog is 15 lbs and fits fine but chooses not to stay in it for long. I don't lock him in as I am worried about strangling. I do not believe it would work for two small dogs. Not enough room.

The item suit for weighting 15~150 lbs dog ,and its collar adjustable length from 35cm to 66cm (14"-24") ,in my personal opinion it would fit for your pet.

My Maltese is less that 6 pounds but I think this would work for up to 15 pounds if your shoulder can handle the weight.

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.
