Overview
The Perfect Dog Command Collar is a pet training aid designed to assist you in training your dog to listen to certain commands.
The Claim
The claim is that this Perfect Dog Command Collar action mimics the corrective action taken by a mother dog when disciplining her pups and by doing this you will encourage your dog to submit to your requests.
The Hype
Much of the hype surrounding the Perfect Dog Command collar comes from the fact that Don Sullivan who is a recognized dog trainer; sometimes called the “DogFather” has lent his name to this particular product.
The Cost
The cost of the Perfect Dog Command Collar is $26.99 at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Check your local retailers and you may be able to find it for less but that seems to be about the average price at most retailers.
The Commitment
The commitment required for this Perfect Dog Command Collar is two parted in a way. The commitment to the actual unit is very minimal when not in use you simply toss it into a drawer. However, when using it to attempt to train your animal you need to put in the time and commitment that is necessary to do that effectively when using this or any other training product.
Evaluation
The concept behind the Perfect Dog Command collar is that by using this collar you can influence your dog to either stop certain behaviours like barking or begging for food or straining at the leash when on a walk by the biting action that is introduced when the collar is pulled on with a leash. This action replaces the shock effect that other collars have and is intended to mimic the action that a mother dog would take with her pups to coerce corrective actions. While we understand the concept behind the Perfect Dog Command Collar we are unsure as to whether or not this type of painful reinforcement is the absolute best way to get your dog to listen to you. There are a variety of other methods that do not include inflicting discomfort on the animal that have been proven to be very effective.
As stated above, we are unsure that any training method that relies on a painful reinforcement is the best option for training dogs or any other animal for that matter. If you are of the camp that believes that this is the only way to properly train a dog (and there are admittedly many of that mindset) then this might be a product that you may want to investigate further. The school of thought behind it is a practical one and it does not resort to electric shock which
is an unnatural way of training any animal but again there are so many other proven methods for training dogs that do not include inducing any discomfort that this product is not for everyone.We will only give this product a Try/Buy rating for those who agree with this form of reinforcement.Our Recommendation
If you are of the mindset that negative actions rather than positive reinforcement are the best way to train a dog than the Perfect Dog Command Collar this might be the product for you. The concept is sound and it may well work for you and your animal. For other alternatives, you may want to look at the Body Collar.

I've had this system before and it worked quite well. However, my wife did not agree to adhere to it and the training failed. What a dog needs is consistency and with getting mixed messages from me and my wife, it was clear he was either confused or took advantage of the easy way out. But over all, he did become quite obedient because he was a Golden Retriever and they are by nature extremely eager to please.
I purchased 2 of these collars and the rope pull cord frayed and eventually came apart all together making the collar useless. Very disappointing. The actual collar idea is ok, but these pull cords are apparently cheaply or with design flaws that ruin the collar in a short period of time. No stars.
I bought this collar on the recommendation of a friend. When the collar arrived it was frayed on both sides of the strap. We thought this was normal. However, because of the frayed ends, the collar would not retract properly. Customer service said it was under warranty and they would replace it as long as I paid the shipping fee. When I spoke to customer service they stated that they had to make up cost of the collar. I can buy the exact same item on Chewy and the cost is less. If something is under warranty you should never have to pay anything. This company is poorly run and has terrible management. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was told they couldn't answer my call because they were busy on other lines. If I could give 0 stars I would.
My 5 month old German Shepherd snapped the dam thing so in my opinion it's a waste of money...I give it no stars but it won't let me give it no stars
We have big pit bulls that would pull us real hard to the point we stop walking them .we got your collar from a friend and put it on our younger but heavier dog and couldnt believe what a difference we had two fingers in the leash holder he never once pulled .we are so amazed .give u a 100%
This site doesn't allow me to enter 5 stars. (I'd give it 100 stars). I've used this on 4 dogs and it works each and every time. You have to use the system explained on the DVD. Immediate improvement and over time 'the perfect dog'.
The dog keeps digging and and piss inside
