What is the Canny
Collar?
The Canny Collar is a revolutionary dog
training collar proven to stop pulling on the lead and help with dog walking in
a kind, safe and effective way. It is a simple piece of dog training equipment
made up of a conventional flat collar with a traditional buckle fastening for
security. The lead attaches to a thinner slip line, made from soft yet strong
material, which then fits over the nose of your dog.
Unlike other dog
walking devices which fasten under the chin, the lead fastens behind your dog's
head on the Canny Collar. This represents an innovative and unique design in dog
behaviour training on lead. Click here to see our video 'Fitting and Using the
Canny Collar' for a visual demonstration of how simple it is to use.
How does the
Canny Collar work?
The Canny Collar works by a simple 'pressure
and release' system.
When your dog is pulling on the lead, gentle pressure is applied to the bridge
of his nose. As soon as he learns to stop pulling, the pressure is released.
This effortless 'dog training' method simply harnesses what most owners do
naturally when their dog pulls - they pull back! When the pressure releases,
your dog quickly realises that by not pulling on the lead and walking at your
side with the lead loose, both of you can enjoy your walk without either on e
of you choking or panting!
Not another headcollar!?
Pulling on lead is one of the most common dog behaviour problems and so there
are many headcollars on the market which claim to cure it.
The Canny Collar should be thought of more
as a dog training collar rather than a headcollar. As the name suggests, a
headcollar encompasses the whole of your dog's head. The Canny Collar fits only
around the nose, gently guiding from behind the head, so that your dog is less
restricted and more comfortable. It also does not jerk the head sideways (which
in some cases can cause injury to your dog's neck) nor ride up into the eyes. As
the Canny Collar operates from both sides of your dog's head, gentle pressure is
all that is needed for it to work. It is a kind, safe and effective method of
dog training.
Which Canny Collar best fits
my dog?

Collar for your dog can be found by

neck or by using the general table of popular dog breeds below as a guide. To
ensure safe and stress-free dog walking, the Canny Collar must fit more snugly
than your dog's resident collar.
For some breeds
and where two sizes of Canny Collar are indicated, you may need to choose a size
down for bitches/smaller dogs or a size up for larger dogs. Puppies will require
a smaller size than an adult dog. If in doubt, instructions on measuring your
dog's neck for an accurate fit can be found
