Would it work on a dog with a think coat? I have a Sheltie

I used it without a problem on my golden doodle that has a thick coat and long hair without a problem and no need to cut the hair.

If the hair around the neck is real thick you may have a problem. Try removing a small area of hair near the throat.

I have had this for years and use it on my German Shepherd without any problems.

It would work if you shaved a spot on the throat so the collar makes contact with the skin.

I know this is an old question but I thought I'd answer for others. It does work for thick coated dogs. I have a double coated long hair border collie/malamute mix. He doesn't feel it right away, it just shocked him for the first time today :(It took 4 or 5 barks, but he got a very confused look on his face and jumped. So it will work, it just takes a few more barks for them to feel it

Actually it would fit a horse! They give you a lot of leash. I had to cut a couple times to fit. It is also adjustable. Hope this helped

I believe it would work well. I was just recently introduced to this brush and to a rake. I had previously used a Firmenator on our mini-aussie. There has been a great improvement in the texture of his coat since I started using the rake first and followed that by the slicker brush. It's easy to use, and my aussie stands still for it and seems to like it. I also use thinning shears on the hindquarters and tail, which gives a trim, but not close-cut look.

If you are trying to use it for a small breed dog, it won't work. We thought it would work for all dogs because that is what the store said. It needs to be for a large dog. I think we were able to trim the band part. Maybe you can put more holes in the collar.

I have a Shih Tzu and her hair gets very long. I am also very familiar with the Cocker Spaniel coat as I have owned one as well. Yes it will work fine. Go slow in the direction of the hair, not against the direction. Keep the blades moderately oiled. Also make sure you detangle any possible knots and brush thoroughly before you cut. You will be fine.

Definitely. Ive been using it for my pitbulls and their coat has a great shine to it.

It might, I am not sure. I could not get mine to work and I bought 2 of them. One of them lost the battery cover first time out and lost the batteries too, so that one was a loss. I tried the other one on 3 dogs and it did not work. The directions are terrible to understand, so it is probably my fault. My dogs a terrier size.

It should, my dog has a super thick coat and it reaches down and grabs the loose undercoat. I would be gentle with her the first time and go slow.

Not sure. I have a fox terrier but my guess would be if u purchased the larger size it would work. The mask has to cover the nose and mouth so the dog will breath in the medicine. Hope this helps!

I use the device on a English Bulldog. I think it would work fine on any dog that size or larger. I don't think weight would make a difference.

Yes it can I use it on my fox terrier and my American Bull dog. It has a very long lease to fit any dog. Love it keeps the dog from pulling.

Yes! It works fantastic with long haired dogs or dogs with a thick undercoat.

I am not sure since this is my first dealing with this product. I know for my dog it has worked very well. I am fairly sure that when winter comes I will have to taking it off because of the chance of it freezing.

Hello jschick,I think this would definitely work on your dog. The prongs on the collar are a decent length, and seem to reach through long fur just fine. However, if the shorter ones just aren't working for you, this actually comes with another set of longer prongs.

I honestly don't know. My groomer recommended it and I only used it on my German Shepherd. It seems it would work well on a jack russel coat...the poodle...maybe not...their hair is so tightly curled.

I don't think so. We have an anxious dog and he still is anxious in the coat. We do really like the coat though for keeping him warm. He will leave it on too.

yes, I think it would work. We have a mastiff/boxer and I couldn't believe how much hair it got off her.

I showed dogs for years. Shelties and some can have thick coats. This is not a large, commercial dryer but if you line brush against the Lay of the coat, it should work well. Of course, with that dense a coat, it will take a while. My son and daughter, who tried to take mine, now got their own they use on their large breed dogs that have shorter,more thick coats. Love this when they are blowing coat. Wash them, take them outside to blow dry and watch the fur fly. �. Mine has lasted for years.
