you should have no problem, I have slightly larger dogs, but I only use it to vibrate, not shock. You should try it on yourself to see how the shock works. I have had to change the collar that came with it because my dog ate the first one... once my dog knew what it is, he only needs to see it to cower. I don't keep it on him.

no if your dog is over a certain weight it will deploy. My airbags won't deploy under a certain weight and my dog is only 11pounds.If they did go off it would kill him.

I don't remember this devise having the option of only using the vibrate sensors. If I remember correctly the vibrating is a warning to the dog to stop barking and if the dog continues to ignore the vibrating the shock comes afterward. My husband tried the collar on himself to be sure it wasn't to harsh. He said it was very much like getting a good static shock. It mostly gets your attention with a split second of mild discomfort. I'm sure your dogs personality plays a part also. Different dogs will react differently.

There are some z-wave motion sensors out there that have a setting for pets. monoprice has one, cheap too 30 bucks. Below is from there web site. The sensitivity IS adjustable. The sensor comes with a little black jumper, when you open the sensor you can leave it off or set it to Test, Pet2, and Pet1. You can decrease the sensitivity of the motion sensor so that small pets(PET1) and large pets(PET2) do not trigger the sensor.

I have 100+lb dogs and never got to test it for cats. That's why I got it, but the dogs broke it before I activated it for a day.

Sorry, I could not find any specs that specifies a weight limit. My dog is 14lbs and it keeps her in place.

I have two different size dogs. It seem to work better for my dog who weighs about 60lbs my other dog who weighs about 80lbs it wouldn't stop her. But I think also matters how old your dog is. If you start them as a puppy they respond better than being an older dog

Maxine, I purchased two of these, one for the 10lb and the other for the 20lb dog. However, they had no effect on the dogs and I returned both of them. Wish that I could be of more help! Forrest

My dog weighs 51lbs. I shocked her twice and haven't had to since. But when it says it shocks 3times it means with every bark. It shuts off on bark 5. So 15 shocks before it shuts off. I wouldn't leave my dog alone wearing it on shock. I still put it on her when I leave but on vibrate. I think a remote collar could've worked better in my situation but it worked so that's what counts in my book. The second time it shocked her I was taking it off of her and she didn't bark. I agree with others when they say it malfunctions. A remote one would be better to train with. I haven't had problems with it on vibrate. My dog weighs 51lbs.

Yes, there is a sensitivity adjustment on the unit, but not in the sense you are talking about. The unit will come on regular sensitivity and this is a low and high setting. If you don't want to pick up smaller animals, make sure to mount the unit high enough so that the small animals will not pass through the detection area. You can also stop the detection "beam" by aiming the transmitter at a solid object across from it. The transmitter puts out a "beam" 50' and at it's widest, the detection area is 2'x2'.

Hi there. We have a large German Shepard and she will respond to the collar even on the lowest settings. You just have to be sure to have the collar on snug enough.

Hi I don't believe there's any weight limit on that dog trainer collar as very please with that it worked real good with my dog the only one problem I did have was the caller has one of those cheap plastic class that clamped togetherthat broke so I had to put the trainer on a new collar but I got to tell you I was very pleased and all I had to do was tone my dog and he would stop whatever he was doing he did not want to get zapped i'd recommend to get extra batteries

I forgot to say this has worked very well for my dogs. They were shocked once and now leave it alone. I usually have it off. I don't know about larger animals.

My dog is heavy (120 lbs) and about 8-9 years old. She loved jumping over the bar, but it made her arthritis worse. I read (later) that overweight dogs shouldn't do that. I didn't try any of the other stuff and I'm not sure how tall Leah is so I can't really answer for the rest of the stuff. I gave the set to a friend with a smaller dog and her dog loved it all and even slept inside the tube.
