We have a tten lb. pomeranian that barks constantly. Would this fit her without hurting her ?

My mom uses this same collar on her 12 lb shitzhu, the collar adjusts to a pretty small size so I think you could get the right fit with some adjusting. Personally, I've used this collar on three dogs for training now and I've never had one hurt, they figure it out pretty quick and the beeping before the shock is a wonderful warning.

Yes. This has a setting that goes from low to high. We used it on our 126 lb dog, and used the highest shock. However, he got used to it(he is oversized and they said that could happen). I think definitely worth it. If you don't want to spend the money, then I would get a coffee can, and put loose change in there. Everytime the dog barks you shake it and it terrifies them. They learn to stop.

Don't buy this collar, it put holes in our 90 lb labs' necks. We paid $800 in vet bills among the three of them.

yes. My yorkie, Bitsy, is 7.5 and collar is adjustable and will easily work. great for barking and training.

I don't think it would. My Pomeranian fit it at about 3.5 pounds. Most piggies I've seen we're only up to 3. Up to you if want to try.

I have a 4lb maltipoo and want to know if this will be too heavy or big for her.

Maybe not. If your Akita has thick, long fur, you may want one with longer electrodes. I have a Black Lab/Rottweiller with thick dense hair about 1 1/2" long all over and it works fine for her. Didn't take her long to shut up. It allows a couple barks and then she quits. It obviously works. So, the best way to tell is to buy one and see. I bought two and they're work for me.

The collar is adjustable but usually these anti-bark collars are for the smaller 'yappy' dogs. :) Sometimes, I just have to show my miniature schnauzer the collar and he'll calm down. Not because this is harmful or anything but because he knows that he'll get a surprise if he barks. If you need further detail, I can check out my dog's collar when I get home and see the length of the collar so you can tell if it would fit your dog.

NO. This collar if it worked at all ( it does not) would be too big for your dog. It looked like our 7 lb yorkie mix looked like the box was about half the size of his head. Even if this collar fit your dog I would NOT suggest buying this collar. It sprays your dog even when he his not barking. This sprayed our dog when he was just sitting on the sofa and he moved and ssssssss right in his face he was terrified to do anything. We took this off him and threw it away.

Incidentally, you can always give it a try and send it back if it doesn't fit (they have a great return policy at Amazon)-- judging from the other answers, it looks like it may just depend on the pup!

I think you would have to couple the sound with a quick jerk on the leash. In other words, hit the device and quickly give her a sharp jerk and tell her "down." That way she will tie the sound to the down command. Over time, you should be able to just tell her "down" and in order to avoid the sound, she will comply. It does work well for barking, but I also couple it with "quiet!" then a quick blast on the device. They are now at the point where just telling them "quiet" gets the desired response.

I think this collar is definitely too large for them! Dogtra makes ecollars specifically for smaller dogs so I would look those up. I have a 65 lb lab and I had to cut about eight inches off of the collar due to it being so long. However, it fits my 110 lb lab perfectly :]

I have a small Pomeranian ..he just fits on the stand & will remain at a comfortable working level for me when I place this stand on a table top. Used to do most grooming of this dog.

I have a Pomeranian Mix and she weighs only 11 lbs., and I her neck measurements are ruffly the same. I purchased a size medium and it is a little loose on her, yet I don't like having her collars snugged on her either, because of her fur. I hope this helps you.

I have a 6lb Pomeranian in mine and he loves it. Just the right amount of room to play around in. I think it'll be just fine for your Yorkie.

Hi, I have a 4lb yorkie and she fits well but I think if she were double her size it may be way too tight :( sorry

My 10lb Pomeranian fits nicely in it and he is tall for his breed. But if my conversion is correct, 12kg is about 26lbs. I don't think your dog will fit, sorry.

it would be a tight fit. bought it for my 8lb yorkie and it fits snuggly. it is a very beautiful collar.

I have a 7 lb havaneese and my 15 lb shi-poo. I only used vibrate on them it will startle him but doesn't hurt at all it works perfectly. I was nervous at first but very pleased with purchase.
