will it work on huge, 125 lbs, 2 year old male doberman that we rescued 6 months ago?

This method was way too harsh for me - it is all about physical dominance of your dog.

It might. The video with the training techniques is helpful if you follow the instruction and training consistently. My 3 year old schnauzer-terrier mix learned quickly not to pull on the leash. It wasn't not effective at teaching him not to jump on people or 'counter-surf' to steal food. We used the techniques from the video and got a shock collar. It only took two zaps to teach him and an occasional buzz of sound to remind him and he rarely jumps! So the collar works for mild-mannered dogs but the technique works for more rambunctious fellow.

I have a Chesapeake Bay Retriever (+90 lb) known to be stubborn and a bit difficult to train. He was around 8 months old when I tried to train him to stop pulling on the leash and come when called. I worked with him for weeks but I didnt have any luck with the Don Sullivan training. The DVD did have some good techniques and his reasoning made sense. I went with a shock collar and had success within the first day of using it. Which Don Sullivan did mention that some dogs that test their boundaries may need to upgrade to the shock collar.

yes. It works great for large dogs. One zap and they wont come at you again. It doesnt seem to harm them, just freaks them out.

This will def work. Works on my 90+ pound rottweiler as well as my grams small (around 15 pounds) minature Italian greyhound

I would doubt it. It is perfect for my 100lb Doberman, but I would say it would be a very tight squeeze for a dog as large as yours. They have a great return policy though so it might be worth a try.

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.

I do believe it will, it can be attached to the collar to keep it in place. I used it on a young very active Jack Russell and had great success.

Yes, i use it on my boxer and it works great. It should work fine for any size dog

This is for a larger dog, 100 lbs. It would be a little big for an 18 lb dog, but would work.

I'm sorry, you'll have to ask the manufacturer. I'm using it on a barrel chested 90 lb. dog it that helps at all.

Yes, it will work just fine, my dog is Bull Terrier, Boxer and Pit mix that has huge paws and weighs 70 lbs. His paws are 2 inches wide.

Yes I think it will, Work well on my pet (gizmo) and never had to shock him. Just having it on him worked.

Yes. We use ours for a 7 lb and 16 lb mini dachshunds. Wont work for much bigger than that though.

I don't think it will work on any dog. It's a joke and a waste of money. The only one who would gain is Don.

I believe it will. The noise the can makes interrupts the dog's focus on what it's doing. To tell you the truth, I wasn't sure if it would work on my dog when I first got it. I was at my wits end and was praying I wouldn't have to go the shock collar route. I bought it anyway and kept my fingers crossed with the thought in mind that at least it didn't cost a lot. Happily it worked and it worked very well.

I think this would work fine for a large dog. My dog tried to use it but his tongue was too weak (but he's just a little 12 pound dog). I don't think it's hard for the dogs to figure it out as long as their first few attempts are successful.

Yes. I have a Havanese and he's 20 lbs and it works for him. Hope this helps.
