The Canny Collar

The Canny Collar

Make walking your dog a pleasureA kind and safe way to prevent his pulling ? it?s proven and effective. Unlike other dog walking devices that fasten the leash under the chin, this one positions the leash behind the dog?s head to prevent it from being pulled to the side.

"I bought two of these collars for my 10 month and 2 year old Pointers hoping it would stop the pulling. The pulling is a little less with the collars on, but they still pull which doesn't help with training them to walk on a loose leash. Maybe the collar would work better on dogs that aren't strong pullers or smaller dogs. We're back to using a harness... it works much better."

"My 4 yr old Lab is totally out of control on walks and we have tried everything. Then I saw the Canny Collar and it works. We practiced in the yard first so she would know what to expect, then a day later, we went for a walk with her sister (a calmer Flat Coat Retriever). When we encountered other people and dogs, I was able to keep her under control. Thank goodness for this collar. PS: she chewed the nose piece when we took her off leash to run. I will be ordering another collar."

"Works really well for hard pullers. My 90# lab mix used to pull me down the street (and would still walk in front of me with some steady contact in a prong collar), but she walks at heel position very nicely in this collar. Also, it stayed on every time she slammed on the breaks and tried to pull her head out of the collar.

There IS one flaw though --- the part that loops over her snout would get loose and slip off (thus negating the entire point/usefulness of the collar) because there was so much slack. However, I put the collar on her and marked the minimum length needed in order to slip the loop over her nose and then put metal brads there. SO, now it doesn't allow as much slack in that area (but still doesn't apply pressure unless necessary) and it doesn't slip off.

Overall, the product is very good but needed a bit of tweaking to make it virtually perfect --- so, a good buy, but be prepared to make this adjustment if necessary (but then again, it could just be my dog)."

"I have been using the gentle leaders on my two labs and they have been great, but I was getting concerned about pulling their heads from side to side. I really like the canny collar and the way it still gives me control but I think it is better for their necks and back. It takes alittle bit longer to put on them then the gentle leader, but I really think it is the right collar for Maggie and Libby. Thanks"
