I have a 180 lb. Dane. Do they make a lead large enough? Do I need that special collar? I can't walk him on my own and I would love to.

Our dog is 85#. It is adjustable & attaches tote collar. I'm not sure about the large being big enough. The control is more about head. Perhaps a prong collar that pitches if the dog pulls you might be a temporary trainerase. Big dogs learn quick not to pull when it pitches.

My dog isn't that big.. But if u buy the large size. It's adjustable. I'm sure it.would work. No special collar is needed either

this system will not work for your dog. You will get tangled. Stick with a pinch collar.

Leash is about 66 inches long in total. Measure around your dog's chest - up around the 'armpits', which is where the harness portion will settle. Subtract that measure from 66 and that will tell you how much lead you have left. Not sure what others mean by 'adjustable'. The clip that you hook the remaining lead thru can be moved to allow for bigger chests, but you still have only 66 inches in total. --- Apologies. My answer originally read 66 inches. It should say 6.5 feet!

I think the leash will be large enough to go around your Dane; however, as the leash wraps around the dog it's not going to leave much leash leftover. So he/she would be walking very close to you. I guess you could always try attaching another leash to the handle of this one if you'd like to allow the dog more room like you would have with a regular length leash.

I have two large dogs, Alaskan Malamute and a Siberian husky. They have a lot of hair around their necks. The collars are very large and adjust to fit. I would recommend walking them on a leash to train them. Walk them over to the area with the collars on and allow them to hear the beeping of the collars. Once you hear that pull them back into the safe area. Once or twice of this they learn. My two both were shocked before they learned. The biggest issue we have is when they find an area where the wire is close to the surface. They dig it up and bit it and we have to replace it. I love it more for cost then anything. Once they know to stay away they do. Right now ours is not working because there is a break in the line and they both still do not go near the area the line is buried. I hope this helps.

I actually recently found a new harness that I like better than the EZ Walk - it's called the Freedom No Pull Harness. There is a leash you can buy with it that has two straps - so one hooks on the chest and one hooks on the back. That way you have dual control with your lab puppy's pulling. One thing I love about it is that the straps that go under the "armpits" of the dog are lined in swiss velvet so = no chafing. They recommend the medium for 50 pounds, but since it's a lab and will continue growing, I would go with the large. That's what I have for my golden retriever. Good luck!!

If your dog is a medium to large dog then it would be suitable because it's a very long lead leash,but if your dog is smaller than I would go with a shorter lead leash.

Yes I would.... I have a 11 lb shihtzu & a 7lb Maltese and I use these leads on them. You just need to properly put it at the highest part of there neck for it to work correctly but it has been great for all my dogs. I even have a larger slip leash I bought for my 80 lb german shepherd.

Well... we have a 90+ pound Golden Doodle. The collar was too long for him - we actually cut it to make it shorter which worked fine. There are many holes in it so you can make it quite small. But the unit that carries the battery is a bit heavy so if your dog is very small it is a consideration.

It really depends on the size and girth of the dog's neck. I have a colossal sized German Shepherd. She could easily weigh 100+ pounds. However, I work very hard, run with her and keep her trim. She is able to use the Herm Sprenger 18" Prong Collar with no problem. However, if your dog is very muscular, stout and has a very thick neck (17.5" or larger) . . . I would recommend a larger size. You can purchase extra links to increase the size. If you are going to run or bike with the dog, I would STRONGLY consider a "Gentle Leader" in the stead of a prong collar. I solely (ONLY) utilize the Gentle Leader for biking and running.

Yes, it will be big enough for your dog. My dog is a male Great Dane and will reach 180-200 . He is 8 1/2 months old and over 100 lbs....he is big. But yes, your dog will fit.

I have a 16 pound dachsund and the small is too big for him. You can add some velcro inside so it will fit better, but, depending on your use, you may want to try another product. If its so you'll be seen at night by motorists, I'd try the "Nite Ize SLG-03-07 SpotLit Clip-on LED Go Anywhere Light" - just a blinking light that clips onto the leash/collar. Like a previous poster mentioned, reflective tape is also a great idea - they put it on their pooper scooper, I have a retractable leash so I put it on both sides of that. If its because you're letting him off his leash and want to be able to see him during the day (or so he's not confused with a target by a hunter) try the "Puppia Soft Dog Harness" and then just pick a bright color - pink and orange both work well. This isn't reflective, so if you want to keep the reflective nature, try "Rogz Reflective Dog Collar" in orange Hope this helps! :)

Yes, I have a 110lb mix breed and it's great. I will say I didn't think the distance between the collar and the loop on the leash was far enough so I bought a carabineer clip to extend it and it's perfect. Hope this helps. :)

I bought it for a dog that won't lead, at all,, he just lays down,, this lead only made him lay down faster. I put it on another of my dogs and she was distracted by the new straps, that may be why it keeps them from pulling

Hi Mark, For big dogs like the great dane we would recommend the SD-425S, it is a trainer for large dogs (over 100lbs) as well as stubborn dogs. You can find there here:

Honestly you have to ask the company. They don't put that info in the selling their harness or collars. I had to find out the hard way that if you have a mid-large dog then you might want to choose the harness instead of the collar.

My dog did this and now she just turns away. My other dog that does not have the gentle lead is still a nut case but he is small and I can handle him. Still, I think I will get him one.We tried one on a dog with a small nose and she got out of it in a minute.

I would go on line and check with your dog's breed and see what they recommend. Since your dog is short haired (and cute) it would probably need a different type of lead. I have Chow Chows and with their thick coat, the slip lead is great because it doesn't tear their hair. Good luck!!

I bought the large so I can say exactly, but this is an adjustable lead. I slip it over my dog's head and thighten it. If you are worried about how small it goes, you should be fine
