We have a 75 lb Lab. Its really not that heavy and the strap is not that thick. It would probably be OK

We are using it for our golden doodle, so a large dog. It's too big for our Yorkie who is 10 pounds.

Actually you usually measure the dog for the collar :-) His neck measurement plus . Our dog has a 13" neck and I bought a 16" collar which fits well in the third hole with plenty of room for adjustment. Hope this helps.

I agree with Cindy about the proper fit as our dog definitely responds. You do have to be sure the collar is making the proper contact with the dog's neck. Good luck

I don't know - my dog is 7# and it fits very loose but is still effective. I don't have it cinched up tight but there is enough to be able to make the loop smaller. Your Terrier probably has more hair than our chihuahua/terrier mix and I was prepared to shave his neck where the collar would fit but didn't have to. It was sensitive enough to make him know that he wasn't supposed to bark continuously. You could try it and if it's too large, possibly return it or better yet, go to a local pet store that carry these and try one on for size. If it fits, order it from Amazon - if not, don't bother.

It has a lot of halls on it. So it will fit your shi-tzu. You will have to cut the collar a little bit, because it will be too long. It fits for big and small dogs. I am very happy I got it for my dog. She is listening to me now even if she doesn't wear it. And she was the most destructive animal ever :-)

If you have a heavy duty receiver then the collar will be fine. I bought this collar for my 60 lb labradoodle. To replace the worn out collar. I would recommend the ultra light receiver and collar for a 15 lb dog. I have shih tzu's and the ultra light is perfect for that size dog.

Make sure the collar is tight so it can't slip around her neck when she scratches, only should be able to fit one finger under collar. Other thing she could be getting used to it, my cousin has invisible fence (same principal) and her dog goes thru it all the time. Hope that helps

Hi Sandra. Both my dogs are around 18 lbs. The collar is a little big on my female. I am cutting it down to fit. You might have to get a smaller collar, length wise to use it. Just make sure it is the same width.

Thank you for your question! This particular collar is recommended for pets weighing at least 8 pounds. For your Maltese/Shih Tzu pup, we would recommend the Elite Little Dog In-Ground Fence This system is still capable of containing up to 10 acres, but has a smaller receiver collar that may be a better fit for her.

Hi, my pomeranian weighs 6 pounds and uses a small collar on the 2nd notch, if you can order an extra small that should fit your pet much better since it is a tea cup breed, hope this information helps, HaGD!

Sorry it took me so long to answer, just saw the email. It probably will. I started out with the small version for my 15 pound rescue mix. somewhere i graduated to the large version because at almost a year old, she's about 50 pounds and acts more like a pit than the lab/shepard that i was lead to believe. she pulls like crazy and i don't think the leash helps al that much, at least not as much as a choke collar would, but I'd rather go this way than the choke collar. i guess it depends on the dog. Suzi's will is more powerful than the constriction on her chest, so she still pulls. Hope this helps. Sorry it took me so long to answer, just saw the email. It probably will.

You would not want to use this fence on these dogs. First, the collars are made for 8 lbs and over, second they would not connect properly. There really is not a fence made for a dog 3 - 4 lbs, they all start at 6 lbs and up which would be the petsafe little dog fence (wired).

This collar fits my dog very well and she has a 12 inch neck. Although it is on the last notch. She does not wear it tight. Live the collar.

My dog is chiahuah/rat terrier mix with a bald neck. He weighs 5-6 lbs. he does great with this collar. My husband sawed off the tips of the prongs because w/his bald neck my dog doesnt need anything poking through his fur. However if you have a poneranian you may want to keep the prons as they are. My husband and I both put the collar on ourselves as well just to see what we were exposing our pets to. If we won't do it to ourseves why would we do it to our "babies".

When I got my dogs they were 3-4 pounds and it stuck out a lot, almost like a bowtie. Now they were 13-15 pounds and it's not noticeable at all. It will probably stick out some, but not enough to be a problem. At worst, buy a collar before you purchase the door to see.

It all depends on the neck size. This one here is for 12 to 17 inch necks. So if your dog is smaller than a 12 inch neck size you will need a small.
