Pros: Much easier to walk my dog

Cons: My dogs looks a little funny when she wears it

This is the best collar/leash set I have ever bought for my dog. She is a pit bull mix and when she was a pup she loved to pull on the leash when we went on walks. As she got older the she wasn't quite as rambunctious but she got a lot more muscles. Getting her a harness helped a little, but sometimes she was like a sled dog, the harness only enabling her to pull more.

After we walked on the Illusion Collar not only did the pulling stop but we could pass by yards that had barking dogs and pedestrians on the street. Even people on bicycles didn't bother her. We were finally able to go for long (3-4 mile) walks without a problem.

The leash that comes with the collar is very short. When I first saw it I couldn't believe that was it. I thought how am I ever going to walk her on that short little leash. But the collar and leash are designed for the dog to walk right next to you. It turns out she walks so good on the leash that most of the time my hand is resting on the hook where the leash attaches to the collar.

I do have some problems when I put the collar on her because I don't know how tight to make it so I end up adjusting it several times before it is just right. Otherwise the collar slips down and the top of the collar no longer rests right behind my dog's ears, which can make it less effective.

I would highly recommend watching The Dog Whisperer before using this collar. It will give you a much better idea of how to use the collar and leash most effectively.
