Product Description
Cesar Millan, the acclaimed dog behavior expert, has cared for and rehabilitated dogs for most of his life. Cesar's philosophy espouses that there are no bad dogs. Unruly and aggressive behaviors result from lack of proper training - people training. Cesar and his wife Ilusion realized that owners want to properly control their dogs during walks, but often lacked the necessary tools to do so. They designed The Illusion Dog Training Collar to assist owners in achieving maximum control during walks.
It is sized for small to large breeds. The small collar is for dog's with a 13-15 inch measurement around the base of the neck; the medium collar is for 16-19 inch measurements around the base of the neck; and the large collar is for dog's with 20-23 inch measurements around the base of the neck. Note: THIS COLLAR COMES IN RED.

I have 3 dogs and 3 Illusion Collars,
By JMV "JMV" (40 minutes from Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Illusion Collar and Leash Set By Cesar Millan: RED and Medium Size
Well we have 3 dogs all who pull terribly. I bought 1 collar to try it out on 1 of our dogs before jumping into ordering 3. Well I loved it so much that ordered the other 2 the same day I tried the first collar. And let me tell you dog 1 is a cocker Spaniel, 1 a 60lb Mixed Breed, and a Husky(natual puller). All 3 dogs have made vast improvements. If I walk them 1 at a time I get better results but thats because I have to learn how to control one at a time first. I have however ever walked all 3 at once with these collars and it5 did make a huge difference(before I could have never walked all three). Follow the directions and take your time putting on the collar, it takes some practice but gets easier with every use.

Good concept - Needs more work,

This review is from: The Illusion Collar and Leash Set By Cesar Millan: RED and Medium Size
First of all, we marvel at the skills of Caesar Millan and are big fans of the Dog Whisperer TV show.
This collar is a good concept using two concentric collars with vertical pieces to separate them. The upper collar is supposed to stay under the chin of the dog and has a tightening rope lead (like a choke chain) integrated into it where you attach the leash. The lower collar is supposed to anchor the unit at the shoulder and keep it from slipping. With our dogs, we had success in the past with a conventional choke chain snugged up under the dogs chin to keep its head up and deter pulling. So, the concept works, but a conventional collar or choke chain does not stay up under the chin. Unfortunately, this collar does not stay in position on our dog. We properly size the medium collar for our 50 lb mutt, but our dog has a long-ish neck, so the collar slides down. So if your dog has a long neck this collar will not work. As an improvement, I'd like to see the vertical pieces be made of more rigid material and be adjustable, so you could better anchor the collar at the shoulder and be snug under the dog's chin. Maybe the next version... Bottom line - I would not recommend this collar if your dog has a long neck. We have had more success with a pronged collar.

This review is from: The Illusion Collar and Leash Set By Cesar Millan: RED and Medium Size
I have a great mixed breed dog (Gabby) who has gone through professional training and is mostly well behaved. However, her Achilles heel is other dogs! On walks, if she sees another dog, she absolutely looses her mind. She foams at the mouth, growls, barks, and dances around on the end of the leash trying to get to the dog. She is far too strong to be physically contained, and she is so crazy that she absolutely does not hear voice commands. We tried everything, including teaching her to focus on us with a treat. This worked if the dog was some distance away, but if it gets close, forget it, you can hold a steak in front of her face, she wouldn't notice. Not only is her behavior very embarrassing, but both myself and my wife have gotten hurt trying to contain her (she doesn't bite, but has actually knocked me over in her craziness). It reached the point where we would actively try to avoid other dog walkers to avoid these scenes. We even considered paying for one-on-one dog training. However, before going that route, we decided to try the Illusion collar. It works like a charm! We had barely started our first walk using the collar when we encountered a friendly, yet unleashed dog who was not listening to voice commands! As the dog approached us, Gabby immediately went into a frenzy. The great news was that the frenzy lasted about five seconds as she realized that she was choking herself. She immediately responded to the "sit" command and calmed down. Her hackles were raised, but no more scene. In fact, another dog went by at this point, and she remained seated. We encountered about four more dogs on the walk, and each time the intensity of her behavior became less, to where we passed the last dog with her only looking back a few times! Clearly the collar does what it is supposed to.
I would say that it probably works better with a trained dog who knows to respond to commands and with an owner who has some idea of how to control their dog and won't rely on choking the dog, but rather will redirect their behavior to something more desirable. Having said that, I would recommend this product to anyone who has a dog that cannot pass other dogs without loosing their marbles and does not respond to other training techniques (believe me, if this is your dog, you know what I am talking about!). I have read many reviews of this product where people rail on users for not using other training techniques, believe me, for some dogs, these don't work in all cases. If this is your dog, this collar is a great. It is a bit of a pain to put on, and you have to make sure that you get it all right, but it is worth it!
