Illusion collar in size small, April 29, 2010
This review is from: The Illusion Collar By Cesar Millan: Black and Small in Size
I decided to give this collar a try since I have tried many other collars to stop my dog from pulling. I have the regular slip collar, prong collar, harness, regular collar in different materials and nothing worked. The prong worked for a little bit but it wore off. Then I ordered the Illusion collar in size small for my Boston Terrier. At first I thought maybe the small would not go on and off easily because he has a big head. When I receive the collar, it was larger than I expected, maybe a little large for my Boston. The straps are pretty wide for a size small. I would have thought they would have used narrower straps. It would work well for dogs with long necks but my Boston's neck is a little short for this collar. Forget about it if your dog has no neck like a Pug or maybe a Bulldog. Anyways, I tried it on him to see if it works. It looked like a neck brace and he looked miserable with it on. We went for a walk and I can't believe the results. He did not pull once. Did I mentioned that he's aggressive towards larger dogs when he's on a leash? Well, with the Illusion collar on, we went on a hike that we usually come across many large dogs and he did not even once attempted to go after them. We have been on about 6-7 walks with the Illusion collar on and not even one attempt to go after a big dog. He's getting more comfortable with it on and I really hope it doesn't wear off because I don't know what else out there to buy him. Still a little early to tell but so far so good.

I purchased the Illusion Collar and Leash for my Jack Russell that lunges instead of walks. It really helped and made walking her much easier. The only thing is one buckle broke right away. I fixed it with Velcro so it is working now and we never walk without it. The sender was excellent and I received this item quickly after ordering it.

WOW...What a difference!, January 3, 2010
This review is from: The Illusion Collar By Cesar Millan: Black and Small in Size
I literally have tried everything to get my two very strong mixed breed dogs to stop pulling on walks (one is a husky/basenji/beagle mix, the other a JRT/bull terrier/corgi). I've only had the Illusion collar for a few days but it's better than any of the other products I've tried -- head/over the nose device, no-pull harness, martingales, different kinds of training...the list goes on. I wish I had ordered this collar a long time ago.
Btw, they were right on the border of small/medium based on neck measurement (15.5 - 16"). I got one in each size to compare, and the small definitely fits better. They're both in the 35ish lb range and generally take mediums in most things.
They love walks and sniffing around so much and enjoyed being allowed to go ahead on a bungee leash that I wondered if they'd enjoy walking a little slower beside me, or behind me. Apparently they do. Not only are they improving on our walks -- they're listening and paying more attention to me when not walking, too. And they seem to be less edgy about other dogs we pass on our walks. (For the first week or so I'm taking them out separately; I'll be interested to see how they do when I walk them together.)
If you have a puller, or a headstrong dog (in either sense of the term), I highly recommend ordering the Illusion collar! Also, *excellent* delivery time from this seller was much appreciated.
