I was wondering if any one has ever used a command collar?

I ordered one to check it out, just wondering if any one had any experience with it?

I've seen it, it is basically an overpriced plastic prong. I wouldn't use it for a GSD.

Thats kind of what I took it as was a version of the prong collar.

I have had my dog trained in akc puppy star, beginners obedience, intermediate obedience, advance obedience and he passed his good canine citizen with flying colors. He is fine 98 percent of the time just once in a while which is why I was wondering about a collar like this. I watched a training dvd using these collars and was just curious about them. Heck he is almost to the point of needing no leash not that I would ever do that for his safety of course. So this has nothing to do with needing training this is just a curiousity about these collars. I mean I see people with extremely high trained dogs using prong collars just wondering about this collar.

I have used this:

which is I think very similar. Mine broke on one of the connections of the plastic links. Good thing I had a safety link attaching my leash to the flat collar, same thing anyone should do with a prong. I would not use this collar again, if you need quick correction ability I'd go with a prong collar and safety link.
