Thanks for the 2-receive answer folks! One other question : Any have experience with small breed dogs? I have 2 min-pins.

There are three different levels of shock, the first level on seven I can barely feel. I think it would be fine to use, not sure if the collar is small enough, might have to punch holes in it.

The SD-425 S is an overkill for a small dog. 425 standard is more than enough. the SD-425 does have a vibrate/tone setting if the shock is too much. I would recommend putting on your arm to determine what you feel comfortable with. Also, these collars are designed as stimulation, not as a corrective device. Use it to reinforce what they already know. My dog has a habit of running when freed. When I call him, he basically in a state of saying "I don't hear you right now, got to focus on running" - the collar helps to redirect the mind so they will hear you.

I have a large german sheperd that I bought this for. I personally would not recommend this product for a small dog. The lowest setting on this was enough to make my dog behave but I feel it would be too much for a small dog.

I had an xsmall for my Chinese Crested and MinPin/Chi mix. I felt they were much too small with both dogs. the small fits both perfect. I don't think weight plays much in sizing...all about making sure straps fit snug without the eyes bulging, which the xsmall did.

I'm very happy with the 6-blade and think it work fine on a Pomeranian. The spacing of the blades is good. Perhaps if a smaller version was available with the same spacing it might be better. As always, on grooming issues, check with the breeder if possible, as they would know best.

She ran away and hid in her crate actually in the smaller dogs crate and didn't want to leave the tight space.She seems ok today and is barking again. We sprayed as directed for barking. No harm was done to the dog she just seemed petrified. We will try again today if there is a lot of barking. Thank you for the answers!

It would work for two but they will get tangled up. I bought two for my Chihuahua and Min Pin.

I think the "stubborn" dog one would be wayyyyyyyyyyy too powerful for a 7lb dog. I used the regular collars on all my other Labs, but I had this one who was 100lbs & was very stubborn, so that's why I got the beefier one. I think they have one for small breeds though.

I don't know because I returned mine. The pins were short and would not penetrate my two Shelties' double coats. The pins are rounded on the tips--not good. I replaced it with an Andis that has a single row of much longer rotating pins that are pointed, which easily penetrates a double coat and works beautifully. �

Having had a lab puppy, I know how fast they grow. I'd start with the Small, puppy won't learn much anyway with the Extra Small. What he/she needs to know can be learned with a regular harness/collar and a leash. I think you'd probably be best to wait until at least the puppy grows into a Medium. I didn't order a vest until my Scottie was full grown and had mastered the Companion Dog Certification which was all learned with a collar and lead.

I use a Medium for my Corgi mix who weighs in low 30's. I haven't seen a small one, so I'm not sure how much smaller a small really is but you might be ok with a small, definitely ok with a medium

Of course it depends on the breed. However, the small would be good for most puppies. However, if your specific dog gets big enough that he might choke on it, then it's time to discard and get a bigger one.

The be honest, it's packed away right now, but to give you an example, I have an olde english bulldogg and it's difficult for him to eat out of it. It's smaller then I expected. I also have two German wirehaired pointers who did ok eating out of it, but that is due to their snout being longer. Depending on the breed (and snout), I'd search for a bigger one.

My puppy was actually able to get a bigger piece off. It would depend on how long you leave your puppy and how big they are.

I have a Pomeranian and a min pin. Both under 15 pounds. The bottle has lasted me over a year because my dogs are small, I can't bathe my min pin often or he gets dry, and I usually take my Pomeranian to the groomer 3 or 4 times a year. My dogs when they seem to scratch a lot, I will bathe them with the shampoo. Don't think my dogs have had any flea tick outbreaks so I believe the shampoo works. My Pomeranian has a lot of thick fur and I walk her near a wooded area and no fleas to report.

My Brussels griffon weighs nearly 17 pounds and was fine so i think your mini pin should be ok

well I measure my dog...he is 15- 15 1/2...I got the small they are adjustable...and I have a real hard time getting the two connections together...Dog doesn't want to wait...I think I would go medium and adjust...I have a mina. austrailian shepard...and full of hair so it is doubly difficult to attach...It is worth it however, as it does change the walk...like it...I forget what size the medium fits...

I don't know about the comparison, but I have my collars set high on my min pins. They stay in the boundaries except my male occasionally can run across when he's not thinking about it. I don't think the fence has enough time to respond or his collar bounces away from his neck when this happens. I love this system none the less.
