Why Choose a Canny Collar?
There are many training aids out there that claim to stop your dog pulling so why choose a Canny Collar?  Here are six good reasons:

A Lifetime Guarantee - The Canny Collar is designed to go the distance - how many other training products give you a warranty for life?! Any Canny Collar will be replaced free of charge to the original purchaser, no questions asked, in the unlikely event that the collar fails due to a manufacturing fault or material defect.

Easy to Fit - It's as easy as fitting his regular collar. We use a standard steel buckle and pin fitting for greater security and a simple, single line to control your dog’s head. There are no complicated instructions, just fit it and go!

Training Not Restraining - 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.

Can Leave it On When the Lead is Off - No need to take the Canny Collar off when letting your dog run free – simply use the carabiner clips to fasten the slip line underneath your dog’s chin (snout) and away he goes.

More Comfort - 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.

The Best Collar - The Canny Collar was voted ‘Best New Product’ by the UK pet industry shortly after it was launched and since then over 250,000 dog owners like you have found out exactly why. It is kind, safe, comfortable and effective – in short, everything you are looking for when wishing to humanely train your dog to walk on a loose lead.

Choosing the Right Collar
To begin walking your dog successfully on a loose lead with no pulling, you first need to ensure that you purchase the correct size of Canny Collar. Use the sizing guide here to determine which size you need. A snug fit is essential to ensure that the Canny Collar cannot come off during a walk.

To ensure your Canny Collar fits accurately and for safe and effective dog walking, take a soft 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 measurement. The Canny Collar is available in sizes to fit dogs from 23cm to 58cm (9 inch - 23 inch)

Successful Dog Training with the Canny Collar
Put the Canny Collar on and go for a walk immediately. Keep your lead short but loose when walking and aim to have your dog in the 'heel' position. Using a short dog training lead 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 lead when he paws at it and verbally encouraging him to follow you.

Once your dog is walking, instantly lower the lead to release the pressure on the Canny Collar (you should also let him have some more lead 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 lead is connected behind his head, he will not be able to get a paw over the lead and bring the walk to a stop. Nor will he get the Canny Collar off his head if the lead is kept in the correct position. Sometimes you may need to let the lead 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.

Your dog walking will become a pleasure again very soon!
