Is this unit smaller than the older version (PetSafe Basic Bark Collar, PBC-102)? Does it fit the throat better?

Thank you for your question! This collar is lighter and the contact points are closer together to help better fit a small breed.

I'm not sure about the fit, but would not recommend purchasing this collar. The plastic claps isn't very durable. Mine broke after just two weeks, so i sent it back and purchased one with a metal buckle latch.

They come in different sizes, my dog is a Shepard pit mix with a 12" neck. The size I got seemed to work. I honestly don't what the size range was for my dog, but it is a clean fit. My guess if they have a larger size try that. How ever the way it fits on the collar, that gap will ride under his neck.Esp for stocky dog.

The width of the collar that comes with it is about an inch. Yes you can fit another collar to the unit. I suggest Buying the unit first and then get a collar that will fit the dog. It needs to be snug in order to be effective.

You need to measure your dog's neck & check the CM website for the suitable size collar. I use the "small" on a 40lb staffy, but it's too small for the yellow lab that I walk.

IF it is a petsafe system the stubborn collar works just fine. just make sure you stay with the same brand. no need to buy new transmitter or wire

The dog I purchased this collar for is a Jack Russel, a "mid-sized" dog. For a "SMALL" dog, I believe "I" would look at different models and try to find the one with the smallest "device" box. The box on this model, would probably be a bit too cumbersome for a very small dog. You might want to check with local dealers, such as pet stores and Farm Equipment store to find the smallest (yet effective) model, that you can. Then, see if you can find it for a less expensive price, online. In the -online- ads, under "Specifications", you should find the "size" of the box that holds the electronics. You must also consider the length and thickness of you dogs coat, to see if the electrodes will touch the skin, through the coat. Many models come with two different size/shape electrodes to suit your needs. My Jack, has a short, but very thick coat. So, a short, blunt ended electrode works for him.

This collar is very large for such a small dog. You would probably be better off (and the dog's neck would be happier) with their "little dog" collar: http://store.petsafe.net/deluxe-in-ground-little-dog-receiver-collar

It will probably fit but my dogs are unaffected by this collar don't waste your money!

It should fit just fine. I would order a quick release collar replacement ( info in my original review) I think the quick release collars are more easily scale able to the right size versus the buckle type. The unit is fantastic and has great range. I highly recommend it. Also, if it doesn't work for you, you can always return it.

I bought the little dog remote trainer for my cocker spaniel who weighs 25 lbs. And the collar fits and is adjustable. Never had to shock the warning beep is all she needed.

Well I ordered the product anyway and figured if the collars didnt fit I would make adjustments somehow. Well for my 7 lb yorkie the fit is ok it's a bit big on the shortest setting but its fine. It moves around a bit but is not completely too loose to use. For the 8 lb cockapoo the shortest setting is also ok. the instructions say not to have the prongs touching the neck anyway so the shortest collar setting is fine for both my small dogs! Hope that helps!

Yes. I actually would suggest this rather than the smaller version. I have a 40lb beagle mix and this size works for her. You will need to remove multiple links to fit your dog's neck, but I would still get the bigger link size.

Hello and good day. Although this unit itself may be a bit large on a dog this size, you can cut the collar to remove the excess collar. What is the neck measurement of your pup? I also fully suggest using the comfort adapter. It provides a great deal more comfort, and effectiveness. Small Dog Comfort Adapter fits most Dogtra remote collars I now only put the unit on, and our dog (Min Pin) knows to fly right for the most part.

The collar length is fully adjustable so it should fit around your dog's neck with no problem. You might just want to cut off the excess length. Also, training your dog to respond to the various functions is important so please follow the instructions that come with the collar. Since my dog is already trained for an invisible fence, it didn't take him long to learn to come when I used the "beep" function. Positive reinforcement is so important when working with your dog so take your time, be patient, and always praise your dog when he/she does what you want.

I'm afraid that all I can attest to is that this collar I bought for my very small dog has worked out well. It is a good product and the smallest out there for our tiny doggies with big loud barks.
