would this collar work for an 8lb dog?

I thinks so. We have a 16lb dog and it works for her - just get the smaller size.

I think it would be a bit much for an 8lb dog. I wouldn't use it on anything less 15lbs. Now I'm not s pro on this, but my Westy is around 17lbs and it's just about right.

It might be a little harsh. My dogs are Labrador Retriever's ~ 80lbs. The collars didn't last but a week or two. I had to send them back. I wouldn't recommend.

One of my dogs is a terrier mix about 6-8 pounds and the collar is a little bulky but it worked like a charm.

My mom uses this same collar on her 12 lb shitzhu, the collar adjusts to a pretty small size so I think you could get the right fit with some adjusting. Personally, I've used this collar on three dogs for training now and I've never had one hurt, they figure it out pretty quick and the beeping before the shock is a wonderful warning.

Yes the collar is adjustable. But I'm not sure how small it would get and whether it might not be too heavy for your dog. We have it on our 90 lb poodle.

It really depends on how thick your dogs fur is, I have a 45lbs pitbull in an 18 and I had to take a link out because her fur is short. It works great on my dogs, I also have a 87lb pitbull in an 18 as well so it will probably work just keep the dogs fur in mind when you buy one. Other then that they are increasingly effective. These I've found are the best prong collars made. They are heavy duty and made to last.

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

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).

I have this shock collar & it works well for my 30 plus pound Aussie but I'm thinking it would be to large for your small dog & it might be to heavy for a small 10 pound dog if it did fit its neck.

I bought a medium sized collar and it IS adjustable. I would imagine the small one will be too. Just double check with the seller directly to be sure.

I'm sure it would. I have a pretty good sized dog and there is a lot of extra length available. Also, you could take the mechanism and put it on a different collar. It just slides on.

I would not use it on such a small dog. My lab is 75 pounds and I only use the collar on the first setting and he responds well to that but if I go any higher it is to much for him. Every dog is different but I would stray away to find a less intense collar.

I used it for my 16 pound dog, collar is long enough for large dog but can easily be cut do fit the dogs neck, just don't make it tight.

I think this collar would be too big for a dog under 20 pounds. It was a good size for my 50+ basset hound, after adjusting the strap.

I am not sure. Read the description to ensure the collar size and recommended dog weight/size. Our dogs are very smal (15 lbs). It works for our dogs; collars are a little heavy but work.

Yes, my dog is very small (13 1/2 pounds) and the collar can be adjusted and the excess length cut off if you choose to do so.
