The collar does work. As far as size goes go to Cesar's way site:http://www.cesarsway.com/ Go to shop, Leashes and collars. Click "The Illusion Dog Collar & Leash System (Next Generation)" and use the size chart. Hope this helps!

The large collar is for dogs between 80-110 pounds. I would get a medium and start training with that and then increase to a larger size as your German Shepherd grows. It's been a great collar. My stubborn lab respond very well to it.

I bought for my lab he's about 8 month at the time. It fit him very well no complaints he's a bit bigger it's adjustable so it's still good We love it.

We bought it for our four month old Pitbull and I think it's fantastic! The sooner you start training your puppy on the walk the better! You want to enjoy the walks with your dog, and not having them dragging you down the streets.

It really depends on the size and girth of the dog's neck. I have a colossal sized German Shepherd. She could easily weigh 100+ pounds. However, I work very hard, run with her and keep her trim. She is able to use the Herm Sprenger 18" Prong Collar with no problem. However, if your dog is very muscular, stout and has a very thick neck (17.5" or larger) . . . I would recommend a larger size. You can purchase extra links to increase the size. If you are going to run or bike with the dog, I would STRONGLY consider a "Gentle Leader" in the stead of a prong collar. I solely (ONLY) utilize the Gentle Leader for biking and running.

The receiver that is in the picture would definitely work. The one shown is for stubborn dogs. I have a 90lb German Shepherd that wears that collar. If you have a 20lb dog, you may want to try the other version of the collar. Also if your dog has short hair, you may want to use the small "prongs". If the dog has long hair, use the longer "prongs". Ken

It might. The video with the training techniques is helpful if you follow the instruction and training consistently. My 3 year old schnauzer-terrier mix learned quickly not to pull on the leash. It wasn't not effective at teaching him not to jump on people or 'counter-surf' to steal food. We used the techniques from the video and got a shock collar. It only took two zaps to teach him and an occasional buzz of sound to remind him and he rarely jumps! So the collar works for mild-mannered dogs but the technique works for more rambunctious fellow.

It looks like it should but my german shepherd can slip out of it if he gets squirmy and if there's tension on the leash.. It stays clipped he just figured out how to tuck one paw under and escape..:

If you use it with a collar, it would not be safe incase of accident. However, I returned this item and it was neither strong enough for my German Shepherd or taut enough.

I believe that it would...it is based on both verbal and hand signals. The collar gives a slight bite when used correctly and with my dogs it was a very quick process. It also worked on a pitbull puppy that I was helping my daughter train to walk on a lease. He also learned quickly. I think the product is great and would recommend it to anyone. It must be used correctly though ( I watched the DVD several times before each lesson to make sure I was following MY directions for proper technique and consistency ) and ONLY with just enough force to get the results. Good luck with your puppy :) I believe that it would...it is based on both verbal and hand signals. The collar gives a slight bite when used correctly and with my dogs it was a very quick process.

I have a German Shepherd and it works great. You just have to do it on a regular basis so the thick mat does not build up.

Golden Retriever pup's are the 4th smartest dogs. German Shepards are the 3rd. My German Shepard Pup easily removed the cups & began to chew them. If you pup is teething, I would suggest the puzzle with the flaps & spin containers instead of this one. I don't know how old your puppy is but mine was just 5 mo. old when I purchased this product. I gave it to a neighbor with a Peekapoo. He is playing with it & the cups are to large for his mouth. I hope this helps you to decide. I found it to be troublesome for a large breed dog.

I would not put it on a puppy, especially when they are not even 1 year old. Also, my Maltese is 6lbs and although it worked liked a charm, its too big for her. That said, only get this when training fails. However, it's usually easier/better to train them when they are puppies. I never did and it was difficult to have a barking dog (especially at night!). But this product DID work and I put a review on it (see Gong Joo Owner) for the first time bc we can now sleep at night!

Our puppy is a German Short Haired Pointer ,so she is not a small dog at all. The training has worked well for her.

According to the Einstein web site, this collar can be used on dogs 5 lbs or larger, so you should be okay.

I use it on my Yorkie and it works well! So yes I think it will work with any dog.

it matters if you want this to fit her in the future. German shepherds can get big so this might not fit when she's full grown but it should fit her now for a little while at least. If t does not fit her now, just give it time.

Our breeder gave us something called "pet allure" to spray on it. It only worked for about a week. My Lab was chewing it up after that. Maybe it might work for little dogs.

Yes for outdoors, this spray was safe when our german shepherd was a puppy as young as 12 weeks. This is just for outdoors but they make a great pet-friendly product you can spray directly on the pet, inside in/around their bedding. Works very well. Hope this helps.

I would think she'd definitely grow into it. I have a 11 pound, 5 month old small puppy who I got a small kong for; it took her awhile to stay interested in trying to get the treat out. Now she's figured out how to keep working at it until the treat breaks apart and she can get to it. It sure helps to keep her occupied for awhile and with the chewing phase.
