The reviews say that it would fit a small dog, but there are also other collars that are designed specifically for small breeds.

No, this training device is too large for a ten pound dog. I believe Petsafe makes a version for smaller dogs.

I would not use on anything over 10 pounds. We use it for our tea cup chi. It does have brakes but not idea for larger dogs

I use it on my 10lbs dog so I would say no. I highered a trainer to help me in using is and actually never needed the shock part, just the tone since my dog responded so well to it. Hope that helps.

I have a chocolate lab that is pretty short and stocky...weighting about 90lbs...so the pad in the front helps disribute the weight....so it should work. Hope that was helpful

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.

Thank you for your question! This system is designed to be used for pets weighing at least 8 pounds.

My dog weighs 10 lbs and I would say that it would only remain sturdy to 15 lbs. I wouldn't try any heavier.

No, these steps are to small for your dog. They are only good for small dogs for up to 20 pounds.

Yes you can! I used this on my Chihuahua, and it worked great. There are two levels of vibrations and you control duration. This startles them and stops the behavior. I wouldn't use the shock feature because of the size of dog. This should work for you, good luck!

I have a 10 lb shih Tzu! The slip lead is supposed to be for practicing to 'show' ... not to walk a dog...That said... if your 'pit' is trained to walk on a leash it may be okay to train it to 'show'. If I had a pit, I might try something stronger to train with...but that's just me! Good luck with you little guy's training!

Yes it should work. You can barley touch it and it will shock your hand. It also has a low setting that should be perfect for a small dog

It doesn't work too well on my dog, he's a mix breed 10-12 lbs it needs to be about a 15-20 lb at least I would say.

Our dog is 40 lbs and it works quite well. The collar would be bulky for a small dog. Operationally, on the lowest level, I think it would be okay but might me heavy for a small pet.

We have a 10lb mini yorkie. the collar will fit, but the collar is too stiff (hard plastic) and the electronics box is very big compared to the dog.

Yes, I think it can be used on any size dog. I use level 10 on my 25 lb corgi mix.
