Cesar's Illusion Collar
From a link on Linda Kaim's website
http://www.lionheartk9.com/about.html.html to Cesar Millan's http://www.dogpsychologycenter.com/, I found this page, which includes a Flash Player clip promoting his new collar design. http://cesarmillan.securesites.net/index.php?cPath=76 The clip shows a woman being dragged behind her dog using a regular flat collar, and then easily walking the same dog using the new collar, which is designed to keep the controlling portion high on the neck. However, I think it was "staged" so that the opposition reflex would be maximized in the "before" scene, and the "after" scene shows very subtle collar pops which may be more important than the collar design itself. And it is very likely that the dog and handler are actually well trained to elicit both types of behavior. If nothing else, the collar appears to be well made and safe, with ample surface area on the neck to reduce chance of injury. But the ad seems to promote it as a "magic bullet" that can instantly produce LLW. Paul and Muttley |

You make a lot of assumptions about a lot of stuff you have no actual knowledge of or experience with. I know from experience that allowing a training collar to fall down low on a dog's neck will lessen its effectiveness. For folks who do not know how to jerry-rig a mangled prong collar into an engineering masterpiece, the Illusion collar may be a worthwhile tool. -- Shelly http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |

A fine idea, but way overpriced for what it is. |
