When using the Canny Collar, it is important that your dog realises that at some point during the walk, the collar will loosen and if he is a persistently bad puller this may not be happening. Why us? We have helped over a million owners around the world like you to enjoy walking their dog on a loose leash. No pulling, frustration or stress. Head collars that fasten under the chin tend to close your dog’s mouth when pressure is applied to the lead but there is no real benefit in clamping your dog’s mouth shut if all we are doing is teaching her to walk to heel.

This means the Canny Collar is loose and comfortable on your dog but that there is not enough nose band for it to move towards the end of your dog’s nose and fall off the end. We don’t recommend using a flexi lead with the Canny Collar for precisely this reason as it allows too much lead with the possibility that the nose band will then come off the nose. A head collar is not a device that can help with more serious behavioral issues encountered when walking your dog"If in doubt, use a double-ended training lead. Attach one clip to the head collar and the other to your dog’s regular collar. Despite this, some people will not read the instructions. This is a mistake. Your dog’s success or otherwise depends on you knowing how to use this training tool properly. The most obvious benefit is that a head collar can help to train your dog to walk on a loose leash without pulling. Like any tool, it makes a job easier.

The Canny Collar fastens behind the head rather than under the chin. The immediate benefit is that there is no yanking your dog's head to one side nor riding up into her eyes. For persistent pullers and rescue dogs whose history is unknown, it can be an invaluable tool. It is sometimes the difference between whether a rescue dog is returned to a shelter or not. His owners are ecstatic and now enjoy walks on a daily basis. I will continue to recommend this kind and gentle collar for all “pullers” that come into my practice.” A head collar is an effective training aid which can speed up the time it takes to train your dog to walk politely"Ultimately, they are only as good as the person on the other end of the leash and the time they put in to training their dog. When walking, only a gentle ‘pressure & release’ action should be required if your dog pulls. Because the Canny Collar fastens behind the head and not under the chin, your dog cannot lift her paw over her leash and pull the collar off her head. Even if she manages to get a claw into the slip line and pull it off her nose, your leash is still secured to the D rings and so she cannot escape. The collar itself is generously padded for comfort and the single noseband is soft and comfy. This allows your dog to breathe freely, open her mouth and enjoy her walk. A progressive approach will set your dog up with good training habits for life. We recommend that you wait until your puppy is happy to wear his regular collar and understands the idea of walking on lead. For most dogs, this will be at around 4-6 months old. There is no need to remove the Canny Collar when you let your dog off lead. Simply use the carabiner clips included with each collar to fasten the slip line webbing under your dog’s chin by first crossing the ends behind her head as per the fitting and using instructions.

Pulling on leash is the most common problem faced by dog owners. If you have ever experienced this when walking your dog, you’ll know how stressful, frustrating and embarrassing it can be. A head collar should fit snugly so that it cannot come off and potentially put your dog in danger. If you are attaching your regular leash to the headcollar only, this is doubly important.Once your dog accepts wearing the head collar, let her wear it around the house for short periods with the leash attached.
