The collar can be adjusted, easily. Your Maltese is much smaller than my dog that I use this collar on, mine weighs in at appx. fifty or more lbs. I think you will be able to make it work for you & our little friend. :) Good luck... :)

It may be a bit cumbersome, but it is not heavy. We use it for the same training to keep her in our yard

I have a miniature pin and a miniature schnauzer and it fits both of them just fine

The box on the collar is about as wide as a pointer finger(As long as you aren't a giant). It is pretty bulky. I use it on my Corgi(27lbs) and I don't think that it is too big for her. I have a friend with a 7lb Chihuahua and he uses this for his dog. The remote range is pretty good from what I have experienced. We don't let her get out of site so I don't know how far it will go out to. The collar does come with 2 different size prongs for big or small dogs.

The collar pictured is a versatile size and should work well for you. The length is long enough for larger dogs and can be cut shorter for smaller dogs

My Maltese Poodle weights about 11#, and I think the medium would have been a better fit. The small size fit around his neck, but I still felt like the medium size would have offered more air cushion to dissuade him from trying to reach around to lick. Good luck with your little guy's surgery. My little guy was attacked and had punctures and a gash (but lucky no worse & I still have him). The air collar is so much more comfortable for them than the old style plastic cone collar.

This collar has a wide adjustable size range so it should be perfect. I have it on my 8lb & 30lb dogs and its perfect for both. Adjust it down smaller once over the neck of your dog so it fits better when the leash it on. Hope this helps

It seems pretty big. I have a lab and i had to cut part of it off because it was so long. LOVE this collar, but we did all the training that went into it before we put it on her.

Our schnauzer weighs around 15 pounds and we had a medium size collar for him and it worked really well. It wasn't too tight but still kept him from getting to his stomach where his incision was located. The e-collar also attaches to a collar, so even if it is a little big it should not be a problem. I think it'd be safer to go with a larger size than too small.

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.

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

I got the extra small for my 8lb maltese and it's still big on him, he can still bark and even eat with it.

I think it will be too big. We have a 35lb Beagle mix and when we put it around her neck there is an extra foot of strap hanging off. We have to put a rubber band around the collar and tuck the tail end up under it or it drags on the ground. In hindsight I probably should have got a bigger collar but I thought she'd grow more. I haven't seen the next size down though, so I don't know how that would fit. Also I don't know if it's possible to get a smaller strap for this unit.

When I get home from work I will measure and let you know. The collar is pretty long , I have a 50 lb Setter , The collar when on the dogs neck wraps about 3/4 around his neck again. I will measure.

I bought a medium sized collar and it IS adjustable. I would imagine the small one will be too. Just double check with the seller directly to be sure.

It is adjustable but it is huge! My dog is 70 pounds. I would think buy a smaller collar for small dogs.

Our dog's neck measures 14 inches, and the collar is buckled in the tightest notch. There's a good 3" left to play with. I would think it would be fine. The collar is nice.

Not sure which collar you are referencing as I only used the Big Dog Bark Control Collar, with which we were very pleased. Since your dog is basically a large dog, like our dobie, I would think your dog may respond well to it. Good luck!

Yes the size is big enough. You don't want it to be too big for your Maltese. My Shi-tzu is about 11lbs and is comfortable in it .

Not sure if this will help but I have a Pit bull/ Boston Terrier mix and she is about 50 pounds and the collar fits well and has plenty of room to make even bigger.
