I have yet to see ANYTHING on an infomercial that works. I personally used a shock collar to train my 4 Rotties and if used properly and NOT ABUSED some people do because they are idiots, it works just fine. And works on the same concept. When a pup does wrong what does the mom do…..nips the pup on the neck. What does Cesar Millan do….acts like a mother biting on the neck. So the shock collar acts the same way, except with the bonus of it being surprised. The dog won’t know it is coming so they tend to learn quicker not knowing it is coming. It is all a matter of timing no matter what training aid you use. If corrected at the right time, they would all work the same anyway. Most everything is just a gimmick anyway. Or a fancier version of something already on the market. All the Don Sullivan program is going to tell you is correct your dog at this moment, that moment, at this time…etc etc. So why spend the money on something that is common sense??? Correction is timing. plain and simple.

The Command Collar link 1 bears a striking resemblance to a martingale collar Link 2. The circle can be either of chain or nylon.
I prefer these collars for training as they are much more humane than choke chains or prong collars.
I cannot say anything about his methods. I am unfamilier with him. Generally any training that uses positive renforcement gets my seal of approval (for what it’s worth)
