Hi,

I have a maltese that is 4 lbs right now. The vet thinks she will be about 6 lbs. Will the Pet Safe Small Dog system be safe enough to use for her right now?

ADMIN – Hey Britny,

I worry more about the dog’s cognitive development that the weight. Is she still a pup? I like to wait until the dog is 6 months, because then they are easy to train. A young pup is just too googly eyed to train easily. There are exceptions, (a dog that can do a sit, stay, and come confidently is ready) but i would wait until she is six months old. And of course with a 4-6 lb dog, you want to keep the collar on low.

I too have 2 dogs, 1 is a chiwowa mix, only 6 lbs, and a golden retriever, 100 lbs. If I get the Pet Safe Samll Dog system is it strong enough to hold back my larger dog if I use the larger collar?

ADMIN – Hi Jessica,

The small dog is not strong enough for the Golden. But, the collars from all the petsafe systems can be used interchangably. So if you get the small dog system, you can get an extra “Petsafe deluxe” collar for the Golden.

Oh, I almost forgot, our dogs are rather small (terrier/shitzu [sp?] mixes, 15lbs), but are right on the maximum line for getting the small dog system (i think). Do you suggest the Innotek 4100 or the petsafe small dog system?

ADMIN – Hi Nick,

I would lean toward the IUC-4100, and if it turns out to be too big just exchange it. The batteries on the small dog are a pain and to be avoided.

I HAVE TWO DOGS. ONE IS A LARGE GOLDEN RETRIEVER (100 LBS.) AND THE NEW DOG IS A MIX DASCHOUND (15 LBS.)

WHAT IS THE BEST SYSTEM WHERE I CAN ORDER A SMALL COLLAR AND A REGULAR COLLAR . EITHER WIRELESS OR W/ WIRE .

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP…….

ADMIN – Hi Larry,

For different sized dogs, I would recommend either the PetSafe systems (where you can mix and match the collar between systems). So I would get the PetSafe Small Dog and then a collar from any of the regular PetSafe models. (or vice versa – but I think this way is cheaper)
