I have a 25 # Lhasa apso that pulls on her leash, I know how to remove the extra links...is this a good collar for her?

I know this is an old question but I have a 70# Bouvier pup that used to pull on the leash and his prong collar is working like a champ. You might just want to enlist a trainer to help get you started with it.

My dog is about 30 pounds and it is a miracle worker for me. My dog would not walk on a chain. I was the laughing stock of the neighborhood until I put this on him. It was an immediate improvement.

I would have to say no. my chain continually flips over and pinches me when I try to fix it.

my dog has a 22 inch neck and I ordered him the one that says it adjusts to 23 inches (I think the Large)...it was too small. Luckily a neighbor with the same collar gave us an extra link in order to make it fit...so my only suggestion would be to buy at least 2 inches larger than your dog's neck. You can always remove a link if you have to. Otherwise though, the collar has worked out well and we have had no issues at all with it.

If you are asking about collars that go around the neck as opposed to a harness, yes, the Sporn Double Dog Leash works fine without tangling. It is adjustable and the swivel works well. If you are referring to the "Gentle Leader", I would assume you would not have a problem there either.

There is a leash connection right on top of the backpack but I wouldn't use it as if your dog is a puller it won't do any good. I still use a collar.

It is not safe to leave this on your dog as his regular collar. It can be hazardous, both because of the danger of choking and the danger of injury. I took a dog (a pit bull) off leash but left this collar on, turned my back for literally a few seconds, and the next thing I knew, she had her paw caught in the collar. This is a great training collar, but it's ONLY a training collar.

This is not about this specific collar but you all should be aware that dogs can choke each other to death by grabbing onto another dogs collar. It is best to use the kind of collar that pulls apart if a lot of pressure is put on it when dogs are playing together. Usually the safety collars have a double hitch way to keep it from pulling apart while on a leash.

I found it to actually be a little bit larger. If you need extra links they're sold by Amazon, directly below the collar advertisement. I guess you could make it REALLY large if needed. It does have the quick release. If you're dog is very large or agressive, theoretically it can pull hard enough to make the quick release come undone. I had to remove several links for my dog because it was a tad too large. My only complaint with the collar is that there weren't any instructions that came with it. Not to worry.............YouTube taught me how to do all of this and use it properly. Great product. I found it to actually be a little bit larger.

I've found mine sturdy and well made. What do u mean "fall off"? You mean they slip off? Maybe you aren't fitting them snug enough? You may and can remove links from this collar to fit your dog more closely.

I have a 100+ lb 7 month old Dane. I love this collar. It is the only thing I can use to walk him. It helped with pulling significantly. He still does pull a little, but once it gets a little tight he slows down. I do not have a problem with it fitting, but he isn't full grown yet either. I am not sure how much larger his neck will get.

The large size fits our dog's 19 inch neck with extra room -- at least an inch. I do not use this collar for a leash; only for its light during nightly walks, so I can't vouch for its strength.

You should NOT buy a larger link just in order to get the size around the neck correct. You should use the smaller link and add more of them. For a dog less than 40 lbs. you can use the 2.5 mm size (small) and add extra links, which come in packs of 3. The collar should fit snuggly; otherwise, if loose, it will irritate the dog's neck and you won't be able to make a gentle correction.

Since your dog is so young, I would try a regular collar first. My dog was older and already a puller and the collar helped correct that problem.

I did the same thing for my 2 dogs and taped their name above which side cote old their collar so I wouldn't shock the wrong one. Lol a couple things to let you know... The clasps are cheap plastic and break easy. Idk what kind of dogs you have but I have a black lab with a thinner neck and it works good for her. For my Dachshand it doesn't work well because it is too big and even being tightened to the max is still not enough. For my American bulldog with a larger neck it is not big enough and would be tight at first and now he can't wear it at all. Sorry for such a delayed response. I have been so busy. Hope this info helps. I did the same thing for my 2 dogs and taped their name above which side cote old their collar so I wouldn't shock the wrong one. Lol a couple things to let you know...

There is another collar that comes with this leash. You can wrap the collar around the collar that is on your dog so if they were to pull, ther is an extra one as a helper. as a saftey one, so ass not to break your collar

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!

My dog is 72 pounds and it works really well for him. My dog was able to get out of the harness when my brother in law tied him to a post (which I would never do to my dog). He was able to get it over his head. So that is something to think about if your dog is a puller. There is only 1 stap that goes under his body. I get lots of compliments on it. It is really pretty. I have not had problems, except that one time. So never tie your dog up with this collar on. (smile).

You are supposed to clip the leash onto a regular color, so a Gentle Leader will work great. Our dog pulls too much on collars and it rubs his neck so we actually clip the leash around the buckle in front on top so the pack is the only thing he has to wear.
