Canny Collar® No Pull Dog Head Harness

The Canny Collar in Action

Scott's Thoughts:

This is the ultimate solution to make walking your dog a joy. I always used to see those people walking with their dog directly at their side and envy them; I thought to myself that my dog would never do that in a million years :) Now I am one of those people! My 80 lb Lab mix Parker was walking well on the leash on the very first time out. It is gentle on your dog which is a must for me. This is sooo much better than the prong collars and other devices that you get at the chain stores. I have tried them all and this is my personal favorite.

Description:

The Canny Collar is a simple dog training collar designed to stop pulling on the leash and make walking your dog a pleasure. Comfortable, kind, safe and effective, its revolutionary 'behind-the-head' design makes it easy to fit and simple to use, transforming even the worst pullers into happy, well-behaved pets. No wonder the UK Pet Product Retail Association voted it 'Best New Product' shortly after it was launched.

If you're looking for an easy solution to your dog pulling problems, look no further than the Canny Collar. You'll be in good company. Since the Canny Collar was launched, more than a quarter of a million dog owners worldwide have discovered the simple pleasure of walking their dogs on a loose leash. Join them today and make training your dog easy!

To ensure your Canny Collar fits accurately, 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 the following measurements:

If in-between sizes, the manufacturer suggests going with the smaller size to make sure the fit is snug.

Canny Collar Size:

Size 1 - neck measurement of 9 - 11 inches

Size 2 - neck measurement of 11 - 13 inches

Size 3 - neck measurement of 13 - 15 inches

Size 4 - neck measurement of 15 - 17 inches

Size 5 - neck measurement of 17 - 19 inches

Size 6 - neck measurement of 19 - 21 inches

Size 7 - neck measurement of 21 - 23 inches

Step 1. - Fasten the Canny Collar around your dog's neck, ensuring the buckle is positioned just behind his ears at the back. Fold any excess collar and tuck it under the lip of the buckle. The Canny Collar should fit higher up the neck than a conventional collar, as shown.

Step 2. - A snug fit is essential with any dog training collar to ensure it cannot come off your dog while walking. Test the Canny Collar by trying to pull it off your dog's head while facing him - if fitted correctly, this should not be possible.

Step 3. - Pull each end of the thin slip line behind your dog's head and attach your leash to both 'D' rings at each end.

Step 4. - Pull the slip line through the small yellow plastic guider at the front of the Canny Collar and place over your dog's snout. With some breeds, it may be easier to do this before attaching the leash. Take care not to twist the slip line before placing it over your dog's snout.

Step 5. - Ensure you leave the plastic guider under your dog's chin. This is absolutely vital. If this plastic guider is not kept under the chin, the Canny Collar will not function correctly.

Step 6. - Now you're ready to begin walking your dog using the Canny Collar.





Tips For Your First Time Out:

To begin walking your dog successfully on a loose leash with no pulling, you first need to ensure that you purchase the correct size of Canny Collar. Use the sizing guide to determine which size you need. A snug fit is essential to ensure that the Canny Collar cannot come off during a walk. Once you fit the Canny Collar, face your dog and try to pull it over his ears and off his head. If it can come off, you will need to fit it more snugly or change it for a smaller size.

Put the Canny Collar on and go for a walk immediately. Keep your leash short but loose when walking and aim to have your dog in the 'heel' position. Using a short dog training leash will make this easier. Give him plenty of vocal praise when he begins walking well.

The first time you put the slip line over your dog's nose, he may resist it and try to paw it off his face. Any dog training collar will cause this reaction for some dogs. It is similar to the feeling we have when wearing a wristwatch for the first time - some dogs are simply not used to it. You should continue walking so that your dog focuses on the walk rather than on the Canny Collar, lifting your leash when he paws at it and verbally encouraging him to follow you.

Once your dog is walking, instantly lower the leash to release the pressure on the Canny Collar (you should also let him have some more leash here) and give him plenty of vocal praise whilst keeping walking. He needs to know that at some point in the walk, the pressure will be released; otherwise he may just continue to pull against it.

Repeat this action if again he tries to remove the Canny Collar. Because the leash is connected behind his head, he will not be able to get a paw over the leash and bring the walk to a stop. Nor will he get the Canny Collar off his head if the leash is kept in the correct position. Sometimes you may need to let the leash out if he drops behind you, bringing it back in again once he catches up.

Once any initial resistance to the Canny Collar has stopped, continue walking your dog for a short distance and then stop and give him plenty of praise.

Use treats or clicker training if your dog responds well to these to accustom him to the Canny Collar.

Walking your dog will become a pleasure again very soon!

Canny Collar Reviews

"I ordered the Canny Collar on the advice of a co-worker after she listened to me tell awful tales of my attempts at walking my Maggie, a lab mix. I have tried every type of collar and harness and had almost accepted the fact that my right arm would be longer than the left due to her constant pulling. Our morning walks had become such an unwelcoming experience for me, and her, I'm sure, as she choked and pulled her way through the neighborhood. After receiving the Canny Collar, we practiced a couple times in the backyard with good success. Our first venture out for a "real walk" was amazing. After a very short time of her trying to get the nose strap off, she actually WALKED next to me. It is nothing short of amazing. No pulling AT ALL! I can't thank you enough!" - Kathy

"I JUST DONT BELIEVE IT!! My Canny Collar arrived today, very speedy service I might add and I have a new dog! I took George my hyperactive rescue greyhound crossbreed for a WALK. Yes a WALK, not a drag, not a battle, not a race, but a controlled steady heeled walk! I have arthritis in my hands and have had many products to help me, but this one is the best I have purchased by far, well worth every penny! I am totally amazed at your product and did not even believe the videos on your website until I actually walked my dog tonight. Truly amazing, THANK YOU so much, I will be telling all my friends!" - Julie

"It arrived in the mail yesterday. I had it properly fitted on my mini schnauzer in less than 5 minutes. Super easy to use. And we took off for a walk. I noticed an improvement IMMEDIATELY. There was no break in period at all. She pawed at the nose band like twice and I corrected her but it was no big deal. She immediately started walking better but the best was when we had distractions she was fabulous. About halfway through the walk I realized the neck collar part had slipped down a bit so figured I must not have it tight enough. I tightened it one more hole and it really feels weird tightening something that snugly around a dog's neck but she didn't choke at all since it was so high and once it was good and tight she totally corrected herself. I was able to walk relaxed with like 2 fingers on the leash and no arm yanking. Better still it give you the feel that you are once again in total control of the walk. Fabulous product....a bit pricier than other head collars but IMO worth every penny. The size 1 works great for her as well. Mini schnauzers tend to have very skinny necks but bigger chests so fitting some products are tricky...but this seems to fit exactly as it should for a 9-1/2" neck. The only part I don't like is the extra piece of the collar left flapping...since I have to tighten it to the 4th hole. I wish there was a loop to fit it under on the collar...that would be my only suggestion for improvement. It also wouldn't work for toy breeds since size 1 is the smallest size. Otherwise...a fabulous product and one we'll use for quite some time I'm sure." - Pam

"Thank you very much for sending the Canny Collar. After three years of trying a host of products and struggling with Smiffy,within ten minutes of putting on the Canny Collar he is now walking perfectly. As someone who uses a walking stick, your Canny Collar has been a revelation. I am now telling everybody I meet who has a dog to buy one. After seeing me and Smiffy out and about and how well behaved he is, I am sure they will. Thank you once again." - Graham

"Thank you for making my daily dog walks a pleasure instead of a nightmare!

We recently acquired a lovely two-year-old Bullmastiff from a rescue home which had been house trained but unfortunately had no obedience training whatsoever. This meant that walking her was such an effort (so much so that I'm sure my arm nearly came off on more than one occasion!), embarrassing and in no way a pleasure. It also crossed my mind that anyone passing me barely controlling a large, powerful dog might be frightened or even complain - possibly resulting in her being 'dealt with'.

I'm in no way exaggerating when I say that within one minute of using the Canny Collar, Lexi was a different dog. Yes, she didn't really like the strap across her nose (although it was clear it didn't hurt her) and tried to knock it off with her paws, but she was transformed. Whereas she would strain against her choke chain as hard as she could, criss-cross in front of me (highly annoying) and generally run amok, now she trots alongside me and doesn't even bother even trying to go off and explore.

I now just let the lead handle rest in my fingers, instead of having to make sure it was looped around my wrist in case she pulled out of my grip. I'm so grateful and will thoroughly recommend the Canny Collar to anyone.

Many thanks!" - Mike

"Just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how impressed we are with the Canny Collar we bought yesterday at Crufts. We have two dogs, a six-year-old collie cross and a 10-month-old 60kg (yes really!!) Newfoundland. Usually my fiancé walks the Newfie and I walk the collie, due to me being 'vertically challenged' and her weight being nearly as much as me. However recently he got a back injury which meant he has been unable to walk the Newfie. Because of her strength, I have also been unable to walk the dogs often so they have not had their regular walks while my fiancé has been recovering.

We bought our Canny Collar and decided to try it out this afternoon. Within five minutes I was able to walk our Newfie down the street without being pulled off my feet! My fiancé also walked her for a while and was fine even with his bad back. We got back from our walk without feeling as if we had run a marathon!

I have never contacted a company after buying anything before but we were so impressed that we had to tell you how pleased we are and how this is going to make a difference to our lives with our giant puppy!" - Helen

"I purchased a Canny Collar from you for my 8 year old staffie lab cross and just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful product. I have tried every other means possible to stop her from pulling on the lead and nothing ever worked. The new collar arrived this morning and I put it on her to take her for a walk and for the first time in 8 years we actually had a walk instead of my being pulled the whole way. My 10 year old daughter has never been able to walk Pippa as it wasn't safe for her to do so as Pippa would drag her to wherever she chose to go and my daughter wasn't strong enough to stop her. My daughter was able to walk Pippa this morning and had her walking to heel. It was a wonderful sight to see.

Once again, thank you so much for this wonderful product. From this moment on it will be a pleasure to be able to take Pippa on walks and I won't come back aching from straining to hold on to her." - Suzanne

"It has been a great couple of months since I bought my Canny Collars and now walking is so much easier with two dogs - no more tugging! Sheba who is 18 months was the puller and Smokie who is six was so hard to restrain without hurting your hands and I used to have the leads wrapped round to hold him back. Someone recommended the Canny Collar and this has been the best $ I have ever spent!! They both sit and let me put the collar and lead on and walking is brilliant! I can walk both dogs using only one hand and just a slight jerk with one finger can bring them back to my side so much better. But now they don't even pull that often so it's not necessary. I have severe tennis elbow and walking used to give me pain but now I can use one hand to control them and have slack leads in the other hand. A tremendous difference! Thank you!" Jean
