Canny Collar – The Collar For Dog Training And Walking, Simple And Effective Help With Dog Training And Helps To Stop Dogs From Pulling On The Lead, Head Collar For Dog Walking – Black (Size 4)
The Canny Collar is the dog training head collar to stop dogs pulling on the lead, transforming even the worst pullers into happy, well-behaved pets.
Simple to fit and easy to use, it is kind to your dog, comfortable, safe and effective. We offer the Canny Collar in a range of colours and sizes, including Blue, Black, Red and Purple.
The ‘behind-the-head’ design means it doesn’t yank your dog’s head nor ride up into the eyes and can be used in both ‘training mode’ and ‘regular mode’ by slipping the loop off your dog’s nose as needed. This way, you can train your dog to eventually walk on a regular collar and lead.
The Canny Collar is used by dog trainers, training schools, rescue shelters and veterinarians worldwide. The Canny Collar is also used by UK Guide Dogs.
If you are embarrassed by your pulling dog, dread taking him or her for a walk and have tried everything else to stop your dog pulling and nothing has worked, then the Canny Collar is the solution for you.
For larger dogs, the Canny Colossus is the same design as the Canny head collar but with larger, more heavy-duty fittings and specifically for larger breeds of dog.
Canny products are developed by dog behavioural trainers and used by trainers, vets and rescue shelters to help make dog walking more enjoyable.
If you’re tired of your dog taking you for a walk or embarrassed by your pulling dog, the Canny Collar will make walking your dog a pleasure again.
How does the Canny Collar work?
The Canny Collar works by using a ‘pressure and release’ system. Put simply, when your dog pulls he will feel pressure on the bridge of his nose and when he doesn’t pull, there is no pressure.
By keeping your arm by your side and allowing the Canny Collar to do any corrective work, you can then give your dog positive praise when he is walking calmly by your side, thereby encouraging walking on a loose lead. Your dog will soon learn that by walking calmly by your side and not pulling ahead, the walk will be more comfortable for both of you.
Why is the Canny Collar different from other head collars?
Firstly, the Canny Collar fastens behind the head rather than under the chin. The immediate benefit of this is that there is no yanking your dog’s head to one side or riding up into his eyes. When you are positioned below an animal (such as a horse) it would make sense to lead it from under the chin. However, the horse rider will control the horse from behind the head which makes more sense if you are above the animal. This is why the Canny Collar is unique amongst dog training head collars.
Secondly, the Canny Collar is a dog training collar rather than a dog restraining collar. It can be quickly and easily switched into a regular dog collar and lead by alternately flicking the slip line on and off your dog’s nose. By doing this you can use the Canny Collar like a ‘dog training lead’ eventually training your dog to walk on a conventional flat collar.
What are the benefits of the Canny Collar?
As the Canny Collar clips to your dog’s lead behind the head rather than under the chin, this means it will not ride up into your dog’s eyes nor yank his head to one side. It is generously padded for comfort and the single piece of material over your dog’s nose allows him to breathe freely, open his mouth and enjoy his walk as much as you both want him to. Used by organisations such as The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, the Canny Collar is everything you are looking for when wishing to humanely train your dog to walk on a loose lead.
If you’re looking for an easy solution to your pulling dog problems, look no further than the Canny Collar. You’ll be in good company. Since it was launched, more than half a million dog owners worldwide have discovered the simple pleasure of walking their dogs on a loose lead. Join them today and make walking your dog easy!

Frequently Asked Questions
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
What size of Canny Collar will fit my dog?To ensure your Canny Collar fits accurately and is safe to use when walking your dog, take a tape and measure around your dog’s neck snugly, to just behind the ears. Then, choose the correct size Canny Collar for your dog using our sizing guide. If your dog’s neck measurement falls exactly between two sizes, our experience shows that the best option is normally to choose the smaller of the two sizes to ensure a good fit.
| Why is the Canny Collar different to other head collars?Firstly, the Canny Collar fastens behind the head rather than under the chin. The immediate benefit of this is that there is no yanking your dog’s head to one side or riding up into his eyes. When you are positioned below an animal (such as a horse) it would make sense to lead it from under the chin.

By doing this you can use the Canny Collar like a ‘dog training lead’ eventually training your dog to walk on a conventional flat collar. | Canny Collar vs Halti, Dogmatic & Gentle LeaderThe main difference between the Canny Collar and other head collars such as the Halti, Dogmatic and Gentle Leader is the position to where the lead is fastened – the Canny Collar fastens behind the head rather than underneath the chin. By fastening behind the head, the potential for unintentional misuse is minimised as the Canny Collar will not pull your dog’s head to one side. Any dog control device is really only as good as the owner on the other end of the lead. Whilst most owners are responsible and caring individuals with their animal’s best interests at heart, some can, through frustration, become heavy handed, resulting in the dog’s head being yanked to one side and the nosepiece riding up into the eyes. The Canny Collar does not bring the dog’s head to one side, rather it lowers the head towards the floor. This means the full weight of the dog is harnessed in slowing the dog down, rather than putting pressure on the neck area with the head twisted to one side. | Should I use a Canny Collar with my puppy?We believe that the appropriate approach is to teach a puppy the correct place to walk right from the beginning so as to prevent problems developing as the puppy grows to adulthood. The Canny Collar is widely regarded as a corrective device for dogs with an existing pulling problem but it is also a kind and effective tool for beginning your puppy’s training programme. It is comfortable enough to be worn from day one and beginning his training this way means you can teach him exactly where you would like him to be on his very first walks. Within a short time you should be able to release the nose-strap periodically to check on his progress, replacing the nose-strap when further guidance is required. Puppies who start using a Canny Collar on their first outings learn very quickly to walk without pulling, so that assuming the ‘correct’ walking position becomes second nature to them. |
Are you embarrassed by your pulling dog? Do you feel stressed when out walking?
When you use a Canny Collar, you’re in good company. Since it was launched, over half a million collars have been sold to dog owners just like you. People who once struggled to control their dogs now enjoy walking them comfortably by their side on a loose lead.
Do people make you feel bad by telling you how you should be training your dog?
Because your dog only has one piece of material over his nose and not several straps, he will accept this more quickly than other devices that are more restraining. He can open his mouth, breathe, pant and drink water wearing the Canny Collar as it does not keep the mouth closed when in use.
Have you tried lots of other products to stop your dog from pulling on lead and nothing has worked?
The Canny Collar is simply a standard collar, generously padded for comfort, with a single line of material (the slip line) going over your dog’s nose. This means he is free to breathe freely, open his mouth and enjoy his walk as much as you want him to. There is less material to restrict his mouth which also allows him to get used to the Canny Collar very quickly.
Is your dog so strong that he or she is simply impossible to control?
The Canny Collar can train your dog to walk on a simple collar and lead with no pulling. By moving the slip line on and off your dog’s nose as required, you can gradually teach him not to pull at all, even when he feels nothing on his nose.
Make walking your dog a pleasure again with the Canny Collar. No pulling, no stress, just enjoy walking your dog!
Canny, the clever dog collar
The word ‘Canny’ originated in Scotland some time around the middle of the seventeenth century and it is still widely used today, mainly in Scotland and the NE of England. From the original ‘can’, meaning know (commonly said in Scotland as ‘ken’ today as in ‘do you ken?’ or ‘do you know?’), the English suffix ‘–y’ was added to form the word we know today.
- Shrewd, astute, knowing or wise
- Careful, cautious or prudent
- Frugal, thrifty and intelligent
- Nice, pleasing or attractive

This collar is a real game changer for me. My 3 year old Labrador pulls like a train and has made lead walks very challenging. I went for Size 5 and it’s a good fit and looks sturdy. It takes the pull out of him immediately and unlike standard figure of 8 leads, it doesn’t tighten around the neck. I use it with a two handled lead and I feel so much more in control!! Amazing!
We were despairing with our cocker spaniel, we tried all the tricks to get her to walk nice and she wouldn’t. The pulling was awful and I was worried she would hurt herself. She did not like the collar at first , but she soon got used to it and omg it was magic, amazing device. I can’t say how much I love this collar.
Does help with reactivity.Nose band tends to get twisted. I found it easier to put the collar on each time making sure the nose band does not twist. He still tries to get it off.
Have a rescue dog who is a solid 20kg of muscle. Was doing no favours to my arms, back or knees. Tried a Halti but she would scrape herself along walls to try and get it off. This has been revolutionary. She is not a big fan but much better than with the Halti. I could walk her with one finger on the lead now which is something I never thought I would see and also can now countenance a child walking her (with supervision) at some point.
Much prefer this to any other pulling collars that we have tried, fits flat to my dogs face
The canny collar has literally changed my life! Sounds over the top but I came to a point where walking the dog was pretty stressful, my 8 month old lab would pull to the point of almost dislocating my shoulder, this collar has reduced his pulling ability massively and I couldn’t recommend it enough. Took him a few days to get used to it, (expect your dog to have a go at getting it off, its just a case of your dog getting used to it.) Now we both enjoy going for a walk, the difference is fantastic, now I can train him to walk to heel much easier. Highly recommend! (I bought size 4).
Love it. No where near as harsh as other makes that I can’t name, but it does the job perfectly, as good as the others but better, because you have peace of mind that pups can’t wriggle out of them.
Works well and doesn’t cut across her eyes like others. Bit annoying when want to run off lead as a faff to tie up
ideal much more comfortable than a slip lead although quite fiddly to put on with out twisting it when out walking
I bought this collar for my labradoodle 8 mth old puppy. He’s enormous- not quite the size of a standard poodle but not far off and my morning walks with him were hazardous to say the least.! Now, with this collar, my arms are back in their sockets and I can walk painlessly with him by my side, without the frantic pulling I used to get with a double lead!! Now the walks brilliant aand I can hold the lead with 1 finger. Even when we meet other dogs ( always used to be a stressful time!) But not now.
I’m really pleased with this canny collar.
I’ve been struggling to find the right collar etc for our strong 18mth old puppy and was thankfully introduced to the canny collar by a friend. Whilst out pup resisted initially, it wasn’t long before she was walking better and pulling less.
It’s so nice to finally feel in control and gain some confidence and be able to train her (and me of course). I used to dread walking her and now look forward to it.
It’s a bit fiddly to let her off lead and pop her back on…but still worth it….and she wears a regular collar so I can grab her quick and hold her if I need to.
It seems to be made well. She tried to bite through it once, so I’ve learnt to get myself ready, then put the collar and leave straight away so she can’t get to it.
Thumbs up from me.
I was looking for a way to stop my dog pulling and this was recommended by a friend. I was dubious but it actually does work and my dog doesn’t attempt to take it off either. Very pleased.
This beats the Hilti I tried first, and the dog don’t run a mile and hide up when I pick it up, like some other harness I’ve tried… this Canny collar works well.
Does exactly what it is intended for – stop a dog pulling. When your dog drops it’s head you know it is going to try and scratch it off so get the head up. After 1 use a massive difference.
The Canny collar worked on our Springer Spaniel like magic, we were confident it would work but were blown away by how well the Canny collar did it’s job.
We already learnt how to put the collar on, so when the collar arrived it only took seconds to put it on our dog, so simple to use if you already know how to use it, thanks to YouTube.
We walked our Springer Spaniel indoors with the collar on, during that time she did put her paw up at the strap several times, we carried on walking giving her treats for about five minutes, followed by going out to the garden for another five minutes with a few more treats.
Later on we took her out for a street walk and again she did put her paw up at the strap but only a few times, apart from that she walked extremely well. Next day in the morning we went back out for a dog walk, but this time passing people, there was no lunging at all, she walked perfectly past people and there was no pulling during heel.
But please note: Most Springers love and require off lead exercise, belting around fields, they love it…
The Canny Collar comes with easy to understand instructions. One of our dogs was always pulling and very reactive to anything that moved, cats, dogs, foxes, butterflies! We were working on her training but anything else we tried (different harnesses, collars, martingales etc) just didn’t work and it got to the point that walks had become a chore rather than a pleasure. From the very first moment of putting this canny collar on her she was stopped in her tracks. It doesn’t yank her head around but she is aware that it’s there. She has never pulled since wearing it. If she does try to charge ahead she just can’t. We are using it as a training aid and now whenever she feels that slight pressure she lifts her head and makes eye contact with me. It has also now got to the point where I can take both of my 37kg dogs on a safe walk by myself without dragging hubby along and I feel totally in control of them. I would go so far as to say this has been a total life changer for us.
This has worked wonders for our year old Labrador. She was constantly pulling on the lead and causing my fingers to swell from holding the lead so tightly.
Walking the dog is much more fun. The collar design is great. After walking to a park you can remove the nose/mouth restraint and have the dog wear the collar whilst off lead.
The dog can still yawn, drink and breathe well whilst wearing the nose/mouth restraint.
So easy to use and it’s great quality. The item does come with visual instructions to help with fitting. So wish we had thought of this idea much sooner.
I bought a size 4 for a small Labrador and its a perfect fit.
True to size.
Recommend by a fellow dog walker & has made a positive difference to our walks…
Much more control
Was sceptical about this as I didn’t think there was anything that would make going for a walk enjoyable. Our my constantly pulled and was almost unmanageable. The first use of this collar showed that it was exactly what we needed. Worked absolute wonders on out Belgian malinois!
It’s a pleasure to go walking, no pulling, although she doesn’t like it over her nose , I’m sure she’ll get used to it in time . It a bit fiddly to put on but again I’m sure I’ll get the knack.
I don’t normally do reviews but I can’t recommend this enough! I only received the collar yesterday but already my headstrong pointer is walking by my side and not pulling!! I can now look forward to walking with my dog rather that dreading them.
Having used the gentle leader for many months, I was worried about the damage I might cause to my German Shepherds neck and spine when she tried to chase a cat with me restraining her. Having read reviews on the gentle leader, one review said the canny collar worked differently. I resourced it and purchased it.
I have to say I have used it 4 times and its a pleasure to walk with.
My dog enjoys her walk and I do, feeling happier that I have control without hurting her.
EXCELLENT!
Young syco doberman pulls all the time.
After only two walks the pulling has stop
and walking to heel is easy.
Always used Canny Collars Great Bit Of Ki
This has helped calm our boxer dog down during walks and allows us to have full control when he has lots of energy. We have tried lots of different types from halti to harnesses but this is the only collar that has worked so far. We will now only use this collar in the future and I wish we had found it earlier. Good quality sturdy material and worth the price.
The Canny Collar has stopped our lively Working Cocker Spaniel from pulling like a train on the lead. Excellent product giving easy control of a boisterous dog.
After trying a lot of harness to stop my boisterous collie puppy from pulling . a fellow dog walker told be about the cannie collar, so i dutifully ordered a size 3 , arrived next day . following day i tried the collar on our walk, to start with she tried to paw it of her nose but with in 5 minutes she was walking beside me and she did not pull when she saw other dogs, highly recommend this i just wish i had heard about this collar sooner. Makes walking the dog a joy now not a chore .
Collar works. Stops dog pulling. She doesn’t like it and it’s fiddly to use without lead.
Nothing wrong with it – fits OK but my dog hates it. However she is reactive with other dogs and needs a head collar so I can control her and not be pulled over (I have 2 large dogs!) so it serves its purpose and she will need to get used to it.
Our dog has always pulled and whilst this is not a magic instant solution it is certainly a lot easier than before!
She didn’t like it st first and kept trying to remove it with her paws but got used to it after about 5 walks with it.
Make sure you use it for training a dog to walk beside you rather than letting them wander about all over the place. Also note that the plastic buckle goes under the chin, not on the nose!
This fits ok, and stops pulling, but does slip off my dog’s nose quite frequently, if he lowers his head. I will keep trying!
My cousin advised me to buy this as we both have strong dogs that pull, this has completely changed our walks now, im so happy! No more looking like my dog is walking me and no more arm and hand pain! The mouth piece did slip off a couple of times but then I just slip it right back on and go on with our walk. He did try to paw it off for the 1st min or 2 but seemed just fine for the rest of our journey. I’m so happy I can now happily extend the length of our walks and its no longer a chore but a joy!!!
Purchased for my large American bulldog pup who is 5 stone works but she still manages to pull on it.
he nose strap is attached to a proper collar so if your dog does slip his nose out you still have control
This collar works, where another well known brand did not work! It is a bit fiddly but it is so nice going for a walk with our dog when she is not pulling my arm out..
Excellent for reining in an exuberant young lab, did it’s job really well on my 8 month old.
I’ve tried many different ways to stop pulling over the years & I have to say that this was far & away the best solution I’ve used.
Unlike similar collars that pull the head to one side due to the way it connects, this one helps you remain in control at all times.
Quality of product is exceptional in terms of stitching & materials.
After a week of using on one dog, I purchased a second collar for my other dog with similar impressive results.
Highly recommend.
This has been the best collar I have bought for my male labrador. Has stopped him pulling completely and he doesn’t mind having it on unlike the halti which he was always trying to get off. Only drawback is if you want to let him free run it hangs down so you have to take it off.
I have a very nervous young Labrador who has not been socialised and really pulls. As I am having surgery soon I was advised to get this. It really works. After day one she accepts it as normal. Would strongly recommend it.
Firstly, I ordered this onSaturday after a friend had recommended it and it arrived on Monday which was great. It is for my daughters 9 year old dog that pulls like mad on his lead. They have tried so many different types but none that meant that I could walk him! I put the the CANNY COLLAR on and it WORKED!!!! Thank you Canny Colla
Great product for dogs that pull, have tried other products but this is the only one that works for my husky
Best buy ever! A joy to walk my collie now. No more lunging at cars at the risk of taking my shoulder with him. Wasn’t at all sure if he’d accept the collar as he was 4 years old, but it wasn’t a problem at all, a little distracting was all that was needed.
Also have one for my huntaway. He’s a big strong lad, and the collar gives me so much control, I couldn’t stop him otherwise. He is much more prone to trying to get it off his nose, but he’s only 9 months so I’m sure he’ll settle with it.
I was doubtful if this collar would stop our lovely golden retriever from pulling. She was not raised on a lead and is a strong girl.
Until we bought this collar walking on a lead was a trial for us and our dog. The collar works really well and even a child was able to walk her with it. She does get a little irritated with the strap on her nose and tries to paw it off. But with encouragement and practice small sure she will get used to it.
This one though, he ain’t getting quite so much success with! But we are, it’s so good to be back in control. Thanks to the random dog walker we passed pleasantries with, for recommending this product to us.
It feels good not having to do our walks at 15mph with our arms stretched better than a mediaeval torture device and our shoulders permanently semi dislocated. And dog doesn’t get to hit the ground, we have full control.
Dog loses. Sorry dog. Well, no, not really sorry. More like smug.
What do I say? I have a dog who is desperate to get out & about first thing in the morning & although this product does keep that slightly in check when she wants to leap she leaps & nothing seems to stop her. After we’ve got over the early ‘leap/jump/all over the place’ she is a lot better & seems to accept the collar is there & it isn’t coming off until we get to free walking space but there is quite a lot of ‘trying it on’. So it’s not perfect by any means but………it is easy to fit. My dog does accept it quite happily (mostly) & it does make me feel I am (mostly) in control of a very young, VERY bouncy EXUBERANT & BOUNCY furry friend. So yes……..I like it because it is easy to put on. My dog does accept it & fairly happily but I & I’d like to emphasise the I haven’t got her lead walking very good even though she’s my 7th dog & I do feel it has to me getting something very wrong?
I liked it but my Boxer dog didn’t. I can’t use it on him as he goes ballistic. It may be that it does not suit short-muzzled dogs like Boxers. I know it works well to reduce pulling on other breeds as it was recommended to me by a Guide Dog puppy walker.
Canny collar is the perfect fit for my border collie as she has a slim muzzle. Others brands are always too big on the muzzle and tend to move up to her eyes when using whereas the Canny collar stays in place
This collar really has made a big difference when walking my Staffie . Sometimes walking her was very stressful but she has now stopped pulling and lunging at other dogs. One thing I recommend is that you read the instructions ensuring that the collar is fitted correctly and the right size.
Great colour , I bought size 4 from shop for my gsd used it but really to small , so bought this one thinking I would get a size 6 just in case , should have got a size 5 , you live and learn , so if you have a gsd with a big mane i would go for a 5 , the 6 is ok round neck but straps a bit long , having bought many collars like theses in the past the canny collar is by far the best , Thank you
The lead itself is comfortable and soft to hold, withstands weather and in theory is easy to clean, wrap it in a tea towel and shove it in the washing machine on low temperature and as good as new (hot temperature will make it shrink).
My dog tries to take off the nose section slyly, you have to understand, this lead requires a small amount of tension on the lead for the nose section to not simply fall off. I noticed that on the first outing and notice others complaining about the fact.
Also actually measure your pets neck, if you get one that is too big, it will fall off all the time so check the sizes, you wouldn’t wear a size 12 if you were a size 7, unless you were a clown.
.
Adjustable ring settings would be nice as a feature, or just more of them for more useful options, but generally they are sturdy, and useful enough to recommend this product.
I have used these as a professional dog walker.. best tool ive ever used to keep a dog under control.. if your dog pulls get one of these.. my own bug bear is the developer could find a way to stop the dog pulling it off when you let them loose.. it then hangs down and could get caught up.. velcro on back straps is all it would take..
Our german boxer is 12months old and he is taking his time with lead training. He isn’t awful but when he sees kids, dogs or motorbikes he wants to be with them asap. We have bought lots of different collars to help with his pulling but this one seems to be the only one that helps. It reduces the power of his pull so that you can manage him , now if he doesn’t have it on he can and usually does go back to how he was before but the canny collar is allowing us to heal train him without pulling our arms out of our sockets.
Best buy yet and he can’t chew it which was the problem with another make.
Absolutely brilliant design. Easy to put on and halves my dogs full strength meaning I can walk two large dogs with no problems.
Dog hates this and on grass tries his best to push off, but on concrete paths he walks amazingly.
The difference is amazing. I take it off and he jumps pulls.
We walk a lot on paths, so I’m hoping he’ll forget about it, when grass comes!
I 'ummed and arred' about buying this product for months as I thought it would just be another product that didn't work. How wrong I was – I only wish I had bought it sooner. It's actually a pleasure now to walk my dog on the lead, where as previously I had dreaded on lead walkers! I have total control now and don't fear being dragged down the road when my dog sees something that catches her attention! I take her for the walk now, rather than her taking me! It's now enjoyable and not exhausting!
Very pleased with this purchase. My 12 month old 25 kg Labradoodle pulled like a train and a friend recommended the Canny Collar. I am delighted that we can now go for a walk without me being pulled along behind.
My little Scottie is so well behaved when wearing the collar….no lunging at cats,squirrels and some other dogs….he walks well on his normal collar but this is great when I know there will be lots of dogs and other furries around…..it also takes the strain out of my back as a sudden lunge can cause problems..I had no problems when I first tried it on him,as a treat to reward him worked well ..as its not really tight on his nose I don’t think he can feel it with his Scottie beardexcept when he lunges…would recommend.
Crazy fast delivery!!! Ordered at 1am and it’s arrived the same day :O
I have a Rottweiler who pulls like a train and everything is exciting. To begin with it didn’t go down to well, but after 10mins of jumping about she gave up and walked beside me, tried pulling and realised she’s not going anywhere. Gave up and walked nicely next to me the whole walk! Best money I’ve ever spent, previously had a harness which did nothing! This is a must have if your dog pulls!
Does the job and stopped our springer pulling like a tank! Only real issue was getting him used to the collar as he kept spinning around trying to get it off as bot uses to it. I have stopped using the collar as in the end he kept scratching to get it off his nose that bad he made it bead and kept opening up the cut everyday, but he does walk a lot better now even without it on so it has made some sort of impact on our 13 month old springe
This is my second purchase of a Canny Collar. First one was around 8-9 years ago for our Springer who would pull on a standard lead. Whilst this is OK for short walks it’s not great on long walks.
The original item has fared very well and still works perfectly. I tried our original collar on our new puppy and decided I needed to buy another.
I now walk both dogs on these collars for long walks. There is still a little reluctance on the puppy’s part and he likes to try and rub it off his nose, but because the straps loop through the collar this isn’t a major problem and you still have the dog on the lead so no danger of them escaping.
Whilst this may not be a solution for all dogs I find that it works for me and our dogs.
The new collar is a little thicker and harder to put on than the old one but it certainly looks robust and well made and I can understand the cost given the quality of the product.
Item arrived quickly and well packaged – would recommend to friends.
Absolutely brilliant! Looked for ages online but certainly made the right choice here… With a normal collar my dog pulled SO hard and was all over the place but from very first use of the Canny Collar, he walked beautifully – could not believe it!! I now only need a lightweight lead using quite relaxed minimum restraint due to the clever design. Had it for about a month now and still marvel at the extreme before and after difference. Good quality with nice sturdy buckle. I attached a small lobster trigger clasp instead of the optional carabiner clips that came with the collar as quicker and bit less fiddly when altering to ‘off lead’!
The canny collar is an excellent idea however my border collie still manages to pull it off his nose because as soon as there is the smallest amount of slack on the lead the nose strap becomes loose and he gets his claw under it and flip it off his nose, very frustrating. It has calmed his pulling constantly because he is too busy trying to get it off. I will persevere because I think in time he will give in,hopefully.
This has been a godsend, my boxer dog no longer drags me around on our walk, and we actually enjoy walking now! The loop that goes around her mouth is gentle and releases as soon as she stops pulling. Would 100% recommend
Absolutely great!!!
Had tried a harness and a half-collar on my 16 month old Labrador but my arms were still being stretched with his pulling. Talked to a puppy walker from the ‘Guide dogs for the blind’ who recommended the Canny Collar so I thought I’d give it a go.
From the outset it was as though I’d had my dog swapped for this new well behaved, happy to walk alongside, no pulling alien. It was unbelievable the transformation and a few months later it’s still working great.
What a transformation!! Fantastic product, well made and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
If your dog pulls – get a Canny Collar!
This collars are fantastic . One of my dogs usually pushes the nose piece off before his walk but once put back on and the walking has started it stays on.
I bought this for another dog as already had one. The buckle underneath seems to be far looser than the last one so the dog gets it off literally as soon as I stop walking. That said, it is still far better as stopping my husky x GSD pulling than all others. I was using a halty for that dog but it was putting pressure in his eye so would certainly but this over a halty
Amazing, I have tried numerous halters/ harnesses in the past and nothing has stopped my dog from pulling. This actually works, one of my dogs took to it immediately and walked by my side. The other dog did resist for a couple of day’s but now also walks perfectly.
we bought this for the first time when on holiday in keswick. it is better than halti as it doesn,t rise up near dogs eyes .having said this the previous canny did have a part that snapped after a few months. i still think its a good collar for a very lively lab who pulled when out walking. it is now much more pleasant taking dog out without constant pulling on your neck & shoulders. it arrived quickly by pos
Well put together product good size guide but the nose strap falls off my boxers nose every time she sniffs the ground so needs a tweaking! As I have to keep putting it back over her nose my halti is bette
Thanks to previous reviews bought the right size for our Labrador bitch. At first it ‘irritated’ her but once she got used to it there is no doubt it works. ‘Lily’ is quite good on a ‘normal’ collar but likes to meet and greet when she meets other people/dogs and pulls across. With the Canny Collar on she is much better and under control, very pleased so far.
It does work well, when its on but it comes off easily, they can push if off if the lead goes slack but if you keep the lead tight you will have a pleasant walk. I have a crossed malamute/husky so can recommend it without hesitation as its the first “stop pulling” collar/harness/lead that actually works.
eally good, stopped my dog pulling instantly. She was not keen to walk with it at first, so took some getting used too. but put it straight to the test walking at dusk with all the rabbits and lambs about and NOT EVEN ONCE did she pull! Only thing I must do is use it more often and get into the habit of putting it on.
I have a 9 year old staffy cross pitbull, before I received this product my dog used to tug me about, it wasn’t quite, the forceful pulling some dogs do it’s that annoying tugging about that I hate, that’s why I tried this, at the start he didn’t mind it, we went for a walk and straight away I noticed a difference, I instantly was in love with the canny collar. Previously I was using a regular head collar from pets at home, it didn’t do anything, as the lead was connected by a metal loop under his chin, I think it was very irritating for him. With the canny collar the lead connects at the back of the head witch with much more comfortable for him. This product is very well made and I highly recommend this.
I love this collar. My 10month bordie collie pup was a nightmare to walk. Pulled like mad and I dreaded taking him out.. Especially with a 16month old baby!!I needed the dog to walk with the pushchair. NOW he does and is an absolute dream to walk! You just need to be patient and the dog HAS to keep their head up!
My daughter works at a animal rescue and she uses them on all the large dogs.
It was pretty straightforward to establish what size collar was needed and the ordering was no problem. It arrived as predicted in good condition. The instructions were clear and it didn’t take long to work out how to use it. We’ve had time to try to fit it once so far as we’ve only had it a couple of days. He didn’t like the strap over his nose, dropped back and pushed it off. (This does not mean the dog is free. The lead is still attached to the collar). We shall persevere as it looks to be the ideal solution to prevent pulling on the lead.
his tem takes a little getting use to by both dog and owners. BUT that said is far nicer than the halite type collars.
we have a large dog that is very strong and gets really excited at the start of his walks…..it is much easier on my shoulder with this
item and would recommend to any dog lover to use…..thank you
From the first time I used it, the collar slowed my dog down and stopped him pulling so much. Unfortunately he still hasn’t worked out that if he walks nicely it won’t put pressure on his nose. So walks are punctuated by him stopping and trying to get the nose strap off.
You have to be alert, because it is possible for dogs to get the strap off, if there’s is a bit of slack. My dog has learnt that if he drops behind me for a few seconds, he can sometimes get the strap off his nose.
The collar does the job, but is not yet an unqualified success.
The collar allows much better control of my rather boisterous dog in a calm manner without slipping into his eyes, him being able to turn and chew through the material or him being able to slip it over his nose all of which have happened with previous versions of head collars and control devices.
While he does still pull it is far less than before and on the whole he is much calmer. A good result providing calmer control than any previous, head collar, lead or harness combination previously tried.
canny collar thank you for this brilliant collar so simply .i got one for are rescue akita that pulled like a train .having a spine problem was finding walking him very hard to do .now no problem. now got an other for a puppy that started the same thing once she got used to to strap over her nose walks right beside you don’t now shes there.
Recommended by a dog trainer, after trying various ways to stop my GSD pulling on the lead. Walking is so much better now, just a little backward movement to remind her to keep with me and also much better control if she reacts to another dog while on lead. This collar is also better than similar collars as it pulls from the back rather than the side, avoiding injury to the dog. My shoulder is enjoying not be yanked every day now!
I can’t tell you what a difference this product has made to walking my Lab/Bordercollie, she used to pull so hard there was no way we could ever go for a walk where she needed to be on a lead. After deciding we wanted to do more walking and researching how to stop my dog pulling, the Canny coller was bought to my attention. I purchased one and it’s the best thing I could have done. She took to it really well (after a bit of head shaking) and walked like a dream. It truly works as when we don’t use it unfortunatly she’s as bad as ever!
My Springer Spaniel has a lot of energy and pulls on the lead all the time, and I do not enjoy walking her, but since buying a canny collar she is like a totally different dog.
Although she did not like putting it on and the small strap over the nose seemed to annoy her at first, now she is used to it she enjoys her walks and does not pull like she used to.
I would recommend this to anybody with a dog that pulls.
We have a 4 yr old springer who is a nightmare on the lead. Over the past few years we have tried every ‘no pull’ device available, including the Halti.
This is the best so far, unlike the Halti it is comfortable and I have much better control. It doesn’t magically make him the perfect dog, but it helps;) I am now able to take both my dogs out for a walk on my own, without fear of losing limbs! My dog also enjoys the walk more and wags his tail the whole way round !
I wish I’d tried this years ago!
However, I cannot sing its praises highly enough. After a 30 second protest, Bruno immediately got the idea “Don’t pull and it won’t hurt”. My arms can now stay in their sockets, and everyone is happy.
I actually bought this product for my sisters dog, and I’m giving feedback on her experience with it. The Canny collar doesnt stop pulling as much as a halti but it certainly helps! It also gives way more control over your dog than a halti and it feels kinder as it doesnt keep whiping his head around every time he pulls forward. My sister has an uncontrollable dog through rescuing him from a home and correcting mistakes is much harder than starting good habits believe me! Control on the lead is a must when walking down a busy road. A really good product which I would recommend to any one.
