I have a few questions about the new prong collar leash, could you please claify a few things for me?

Full Question:
I am very interested in your new leash for prong/dominant dog collars. Great idea! However, Please clarify: When you previously have discussed the proper fitting of the dominant dog collar, you have stated it should be worn high on the dog's neck just below the jaw. In the video for the new leash, you show the dominate dog collar being worn well down the dog's neck. Is it safe to assume this is for illustration purposes and that both collars should be worn as you have always recommended? Please advise. Thank you.

Cindy Cindy's Answer:
When you use the dominant dog collar as a BACK UP collar to a prong, you want it lower on the neck (larger than you would use normally) the reason is that you don’t want to engage BOTH collars when having to give a correction.

If you want to use the dominant dog collar as a LIVE correction collar, you would fit it up high under the jaw. When using it as a safety back up with a prong (or any other collar) you would want it down low on the dog’s neck.
