How small will the collar go? I have a very small yappy pomeranian who weighs about 4 pounds.

It didn't work so well, honestly, so hard to recall now but I'd be surprised if it went to that small.

It goes very small, I also have a Pomeranian and the collar doesn't seem to work on her. Don't know if I would waste my money on it. My dog still barks all the time even with the collar on.

The answer to your Question is it will go small enough to tighten to my wrist so it should work on your dog

I have a small 9lb shih tzu and this was a lifesaver. It could have been adjusted smaller.

I wasn't able to use collar -- my dog didn't weigh enough. I would call the Dogtra people and see what they say. Good luck!

Hi Sandra. Both my dogs are around 18 lbs. The collar is a little big on my female. I am cutting it down to fit. You might have to get a smaller collar, length wise to use it. Just make sure it is the same width.

Don't buy it. A 3 lb dog is too small for this kind of collar. I have a 12 lb bichon and I sometimes think it is hurting her too much so I do not use it any more.

I would say it is around 7-8 inches. It is made for a small dog or a larger puppy. My puppy is 4 months old, beagle. I am going to have to change out the collar soon, it's getting too small for her neck. Hope this helps...

well my chihuahua was 4.0 when I got her ans this one was the only one that fit her . I adjusted the belt almost to the end to make it really small. She is bigger now and I'm still able to use it because its so adjustable. I hope this helps.

I have a small for my cat and I just tried it on our yorkie and it was too big, one swipe from his paw and it was off, however I did not loop his collar thru it, but it did appear to big in general.

I've tried the collar with our mix (about 40 lbs, supposed to be Shiba Inu in her as well), but it didn't work. However, not with regards to fitting but with regards to not having her pull so much. I've sent it back and got full refund.

The collar is too large for this size dog. I don't think they make collars for very small dogs.

Hi Norm - I think this unit would pack too much of a wallop for a little one like that. I have a shih-tzu bichon mix who weighs about 20 lbs or so and the collar seems a little too heavy for her. It may be that you can find one for a smaller dog that wouldn't be so heavy around the neck. I would highly recommend the unit itself as a deterrent and as stated, we have never used the shock feature and the vibration is enough to get her attention and to stop her unwanted barking. Hope this was helpful.

You can actually contact thane.com who sell the Don Sullivan Perfect dog collars. S.M.L correspond with the neck measurement of the dog. Small is 14" to 18" and so on. For a puppy that is expected to grow into a large do you may perhaps want to size up since the dog will be growing. Best to check with the company though, I am not an authority.

Well I ordered the product anyway and figured if the collars didnt fit I would make adjustments somehow. Well for my 7 lb yorkie the fit is ok it's a bit big on the shortest setting but its fine. It moves around a bit but is not completely too loose to use. For the 8 lb cockapoo the shortest setting is also ok. the instructions say not to have the prongs touching the neck anyway so the shortest collar setting is fine for both my small dogs! Hope that helps!

We have 5 dogs that we put these collars on and the smallest one is 45 lbs. Based on what it looks like on her I would guess that the receiver would be too large for a 20 to 30 lb dog. The collar, itself, would be no problem because it does have holes all the way around it but my concern would be the size of the receiver.

It is a very adjustable collar. My dog only weighs 34 pounds and it fits her but, would adjust to a smaller size as well. Hope this helps you in your decision.

I believe that this collar works best for all dogs over 12 pounds. We have a small mini-dashound and while it will adjust a works fine on her, it is too big and cumbersome for a "small dog".

I have an eighty pound German shorthair. The collar is very large I had to cut quite a bit off. There will be plenty of collar for your dog.

Unfortunately, this particular collar is for a medium to large dog. My spaniel is 36 lbs. I believe if you check the Amazon site, there are other collars for small dogs, perhaps check under specifically the Eshy manufacturer.
