Would you advise for a leash-reactive 10lb Chihuahua mix? She pulls and barks when she sees other dogs.

I always use a harness on all of my pups (shih tzus). I bought this lead strictly for a training class. You have more control with a harness & leash. Hope this helps!

Yes I would.... I have a 11 lb shihtzu & a 7lb Maltese and I use these leads on them. You just need to properly put it at the highest part of there neck for it to work correctly but it has been great for all my dogs. I even have a larger slip leash I bought for my 80 lb german shepherd.

This is like a choke collar and it may squeeze the dogs neck too much? You cal also try gentle leader EASY WALK HARNESS which deters pulling, but does not put pressure on the dogs throat.

Michelle -We bough this for our huskie/golden retriever mix who weighs 53 lbs. It does not seem to stop him from barking, We are still working on this behavior. Diane

Let's put it this way, she acted like it did. She growled, which is not something I wanted. Using the collar to teach her to walk on a leash without pulling was very effective and she stopped pulling the first time I used it.

Seems like a lot. I have a 10 lb min-pin/Chihuahua mix and she gets 1/3 cup total split over two meals. She really loves this food so I worry that she'll end up putting on weight if I feed her more. As another person mentioned, just keep a close watch on the weight to see if they're getting bigger.

I know this is an old question but I have a 70# Bouvier pup that used to pull on the leash and his prong collar is working like a champ. You might just want to enlist a trainer to help get you started with it.

She ran away and hid in her crate actually in the smaller dogs crate and didn't want to leave the tight space.She seems ok today and is barking again. We sprayed as directed for barking. No harm was done to the dog she just seemed petrified. We will try again today if there is a lot of barking. Thank you for the answers!

I have a papillon mix who is under 10 lbs and she loves it. She just pushed it around with her nose.

I have a "mutt" who is a lab and pit bull mix...although the vet. doubts this mixture...she is medium sized and currently weighs 60 bounds and 5+ years.. She has a big back yard to roam free in and when loose she can have selective hearing, but minds well with this lease. I have used many collars and Easy Walker on her, but both of us like the Slip Lease the best....It is easy to get on and easy to pull off....best of all she does not fight it. Hope this is helpful.....

I have a teacup Yorkie that thinks he is a Great Dane. He growls every time he comes into contact with another male dog. The Little Dog Bark Collar has decreased his barking but unfortunately he still growls.

This works with Chihuahuas I get a reaction when I press it. You will have to try to see if it will work for your own dog.

Check make sure collar is tight enough and that the leads are making good contact with the dogs skin. you may have to trim some hair where the leads make contact with the dog.

I had the same problem. My dog is 10 pounds too and I bought small. It works.

My 75 lb Golden pulls sometimes when she needs to stop and pooh. It only moves me enough to give me a signal, but doesn't cause a problem. If I don't want to stop I peddle faster, which seems to encourage her to run instead of stop. Only if I were going very slowly would it be a problem.

I have a 15 lb. Dachshund and the small fit her well. Please note that if either of your dogs pull on the leash, eventually the harness strap (where it goes through the metal ring) will likely wear and break - that's what happened to me and it could've been a dangerous situation had I not been just outside my house at the time. Once our harness broke, I started using a WackyWalkr leash which I HIGHLY recommend for dogs that pull. It's been a game changer for me and my dog (we use it with a regular Puppia harness).

The more the dog pulls, the tighter the leash gets, regardless the direction the dog pulls. The problem I have with the leash is that with just normal well behaved walking the leash doesn't doesn't stay in the general position pictured but tends to slide back to around the dogs waist, below the ribs. I don't that really effects much, I just don't care for that.

I have a golden doodle and she ripped it apart in three walks.Also did nothing to stop her from pulling. I NOW USE A TRAINERS COLLAR WHICH HAS STOPPED ALL PULLING.
