Would this work for a small dog (chihuahua)? I have a VERY active chihuahua who needs a way to exercise at home. She's the size of a cat. Thanks!

I don't think so :( I have a cat also and I don't think she would be able to fit. But I know chihuahuas are very small

I think so. They advertised 5-16 lbs but my 6 lb must have needed an extra extra small. Thank God she has regained the use of her back legs and is back to running around the house. Ultimately, had it fit, I still may have returned because she looked so darn uncomfortable. (Chihuahua mix)

Hello, dear customer, this dog trainer can be used for small or medium dogs. The item has a shock or vibration when it works. and it has no hurt to dogs. best regards, lemonbest

My cat is 10lb and this fits her, so I would think it would be fine for a small dog. Also, it is installed in my storm door...no gaps or slipping.

I bought it for my cat, and he is a good size cat. Therefore, I think it would be too tight for your dog. My cat sure loves it.

I use mine for 25 lb cats and they can get all the way in and walk around in it; so I am sure that if your dog is not too large, it would work fine. A Scottish terrier or a little larger will fit fine.

I would say no it would be too big. my chihuahua was about five lbs and was bit big but the straps with velcro helped tighten it.

I think this is probably your best bet. I have a chihuahua who is about 8 lbs and this fits as snugly around his waist as I'd like. Best of luck to you in potty training land!

This will absolutely work on a chihuahua and yes you can set it to only vibrate, In fact it has 100 different levels of vibration intensity, it has a beep feature as a reward and the static feature also has 100 different levels of intensity, so if you did half to shock the little guy set it to 5 and he'll get the message. The only problem I can see you having is the collar that comes with, your dog will never fit into it, so see if they sell this brand made for smaller dogs, if not you'll just half to buy your own collar. Hope this helps.

My chihuahua is 10 lbs. and it's fine. I also have a 4 lb. chihuahua....I would not use it on her. Hope this helps. =)

It seems like it would adjust for small dogs. The unit itself measures 2" x 1.25" x 1.5". I put it up against the neck of my large (almost 20 lb.) cat to see how cumbersome it might be. He was not pleased, so it was a quick look. I think it would be OK for small dogs, although large. I would not leave it on a very small dog all the time. It might make sleeping less comfortable.

I have a 4 lb chihuahua and she has no issues. Unless you count the cat that blocks her way by sitting at the top of it. (Cat sold separately)

It would probably depend on how small. It was too big for my dad's Chihuahua. It also might be a bit heavy for small dogs.

I WOULD not recommend it for a dog. .. We use it with our cat and she has knocked it over once. We had to change the location to prevent her from doing it again.

we have a 5 pound chihuahua and a 9 pound morkie and it works great for both, the box looks a lil big on our chihuahua but she doesn't mind at all.

Since the leash attaches to the bike at a low point, you could hook it up to a smaller dog. But would it be wise to run such a small dog? I'm not familiar with mini-poodles, just don't want you to over-exert the dog. It's a good cardiovascular work out for canines and humans as well.

Hi, i saw your question and though i dont have a small dog, one of my cats is barely 7 lbs. He fits in the large one well and i like him to be able to turn around and be comfortable. The small one seems very small. And the large is not huge by any means. Personally i prefer abit larger than too small. If i had a big cat,say 12 to 15 lbs , the large would not be big enough.Hope this helps. I would get the larger one especially if you dont want to buy another one later. Jan
