REPOSTED- Does the Illusion Dog Training Collar Work?
My dog is good on the leash but goes CRAZY when she see’s another animal…be it a cat, other dog, horse or cow, she goes NUTS!!! Yesterday during one of her fits she BIT ME!!! Not a very hard bite but it was a bit none the less. Any other suggestions?
Also for you idiots posting to be idiots, she is a newly adopted dog… as to the reason why I am asking for training information. Don’t jump to conclusions and start sending mean posts. Just answer the question if you are here to help not criticize.
The point of the illusion collar is to keep the slip collar from sliding down the dogs neck, since that makes it ineffective.
I have seen a “dominant dog collar” that does basically the same thing, but less expensive here:

There is also a video on how to use it properly.
Most of my dogs are well behaved on the walk, but I have a 100 lb dominant dog who is obedient at home, but very hard to control on walks. This dog completely ignores a standard choke collar, and has actually yanked me to the ground with it. He is much better with a halti, but still tends to lunge when he sees another dominant dog.
I am planning to try the dominant dog collar on him, and if that is not enough, I am going to go to the prong collar (the prong would probably not be appropriate in your case).
You might want to consider the halti or the dominant dog collar for your dog.
