“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!”

Thank you for the postage of the collar in double quick time! I have emailed Cats & Dogs Ltd and expressed my pleasure in receiving first class customer service! I mailed them 8.00am and I received a phone call by 11.00am the same morning explaining that they had spoken to you and the exchange was no problem. I had used the Halti before the Canny Collar and I have to say the Canny Collar is by far the better product; it’s so easy to get on and off and has worked on my dog, a Bullmastiff called Bo who pulled badly before using a Canny Collar. Now he walks calmly and without pulling. Well done on a great product and great customer service! I have already been speaking to fellow dog owners about the Canny Collar and my dog trainer has also commented on how good it is. I buy many products via the internet and have had many dealings with companies that do or don’t offer any form of backup on their products, all too often as you are not facing the customer, the service is not always the best. This is why I wanted to write this letter and express my feelings on receiving great service! 

I hope your company goes from strength to strength!

We have a 2 year old rescue dog, Prince.  He looks just like one of the dogs on your website video.  He has always been a handful on the lead and is so strong I am unable to actually hold him on a walk.  We have tried a halti, gentle leader and even a spray collar to stop him pulling but all to no avail.  We received our Canny Collar on Wednesday and the transformation is a miracle.  My husband and I are very pleased with the result and I can now actually hold the lead on a walk and remain upright!  My friend who has an unruly Great Dane is now also sending for a Canny Collar because of my recommendation.  Here is a photo of Prince, my handsome boy. 

Thanks again

“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 £30 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!”

Just wanted to contact you to say how fantastic your Canny Collar is! 

I had tried absolutely everything on my now 9 months old cocker spaniel - Halti, harness, Gentle Leader and the stop and wait method.  She has pulled ever since she started going out for walks at around 12 weeks old! 

I have finally been able to have a normal, pleasurable walk with her. She did resist a little to it but now she walks like a dream.  Being a gundog, all she wanted to do was sniff, pull, sniff, pull, sniff, pull. She can still sniff but she doesn't pull.  In fact she waits until she gets to the park for a good sniff now when she is off leash.  I have recommended this collar to others and keep going on about it but it's made me so much more relaxed out on our walks.

Thank you for inventing it!

I am writing to let you know that I have just bought a Canny Collar and the results were instantaneous!

Deefa, my dog has been transformed and it is now a joy to take her out.  She is only 5 months and very big already, being a bullmastiff and she was becoming a handful on the lead.  Now she walks with us perfectly, when we stop either to speak to someone or to cross the road, where she will sit straightaway.  I am very impressed!

The claim was that results were instantaneous and they certainly are!  At first I thought it was a fluke so we tried her on her usual collar but she was dreadful so we put the Canny Collar on again.  It certainly works.  I can't praise it enough to everyone I know. 

Thank you very much!

“We have an 11 month old yellow Lab bitch who is a delight to be with except when she’s on a lead. She’s passed her obedience classes with flying colours (and starts more advanced classes next month) but nothing we do has persuaded her not to pull. As for a Halti…..forget it…..walks on the lead became ten times worse!!!

I was in the pet shop last week buying a harness in the hope that one might help and I happened to mention to the proprietor about the problem. He immediately produced a Canny Collar and suggested that I try it out. He’d only just got a few in to try them out after a request from another customer so he wasn’t able to give any feedback on success rates.
 

Katie
I was prepared to try anything, though I didn’t hold out much hope that the Canny would be any more successful that the Halti. How wrong I was! It was easy to put on and Katie took to it virtually immediately. To walk with a loose lead was virtually unheard of until last week and my wife and other members of the family have now been taking her out for extra walks without fear of being pulled over, so both dog and family have benefited.
 
I am the world’s most cynical person when it comes to reading testimonials on websites or in advertising literature, but I have to say that everything that I have seen on yours is absolutely true so far as my experience is concerned. A fantastic product which has taken a worry out of our lives.
 
Well done and “Thank You” 
John Cowan, Douglas, Isle of Man, UK – 12 July 2007 

 


Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?. Our 6 years old Cairn was a nightmare to walk and having tried harnesses and other nose collars I came accross cannyco whilst browsing the net.  The very first walk using the Canny Collar was a joy; no pulling and no trying to paw it off.  One happy dog and one even happier owner. I was so impressed I have ordered another Canny Collar for my year old Cairn.

May I also congratulate you, the service I received was second to none and I was amazed at the speed with which I received my order.  Many thanks.

THANK YOU!!!

I have a six-month-old Jack Russell who is a very smart dog, but after play time he is almost impossible to walk on a leash, pulling and twisting all the time. I saw the collar at the vets, we put it on him and in less than a minute I couldn't believe it was the same dog!

I think this is the first time in my 47 years that I have wanted to endorse a product and I have sent your website address to everyone I know. If you have family or friends with a dog that pulls and makes walking a nightmarish event, buy one of these collars for them, they will put you in their will!

WAY TO GO Canny Company!

Worth every red cent!

"We just had to write to say how much we thank you for the Canny Collar. We have an 11 month border collie and due to an accident I was unable to walk him on a lead.

After a while, he got out of the habit and became a much bigger & heavier dog. He was hard to walk and we had tried many advertised harnesses etc but on seeing your product in a dog magazine we sent off for it. It was the best thing we ever did, it's like walking a different dog! Instead of a chore it's now a pleasure to walk him - he took to it much quicker as well, so on behalf of my husband & myself, once again thank you. We are telling all our friends about it and many have remarked on how much better he is."

"I just wanted to say what a wonderful product the Canny Collar is! I have a two year old Springer Spaniel and had tried everything to stop her pulling on the lead, and it had got to the stage I dreaded taking her out. Now, she doesn't know what has hit her, back to getting walked for miles at a time as she is a joy to walk!! I can even alternate the days that she needs to have the nose strap on.

I am now using the Canny Collar on my 6 month old springer pup Isla as well and it is working like a dream!!! I recommend this collar to all my doggy friends!! Many thanks!! "

"I have just purchased one of your Canny Collars and would just like to congratulate you on a fantastic product. I have an 11 month old golden retriever who used to pull all the time - the first time we used it, it completely transformed her and now dog walking as a much more enjoyable experience!

Thanks again!

Dave Hopkinson, Towcester, Northants, UK - 1 October 2006

"I am writing regarding a quite recent purchase of a Canny Collar. We have a female Springer Spaniel, Jessie, aged two. She has always been full of energy and very excitable and although not a very big dog, she is unbelievably strong. We have tried everything to try to control her when taking her for a walk. We took her to training classes, bought a harness for her and tried a choker chain as a last resort (which I hated using, I think they are very cruel way to control a dog). 

It was after being at a show in Abergavenny and seeing a dog display team that we decided to ask them if they had any suggestions for us. The lady we asked immediately went to get her dog to show us the Canny Collar. She said she had two large German Shepherds and using the Canny Collars she could control both of them on a walk.

The next day I ordered the collar. I have to say we were absolutely amazed at the results. From the moment we put it on her she stopped pulling completely. My mother is really pleased as she can now take Jessie for a walk (she had to stop due to Jessie's immense strength). Even my nephew who is seven could take Jessie for a walk the following day. We can literally hold the lead with one finger - it's unbelievable! When my parents are out if they see a dog pulling they always tell the owner about the Canny Collar.

We would like to say a big thank you to whoever invented this product and for saving the wear on our arms!!

Erica Gibbs, Crumlin, Gwent, Wales - 23 August 2006

 


"I am amazed!! After ordering a second Canny Collar, I'm now going to order a third for a friend's dog. I love the Canny Collar! After living with rescue dogs who never learned early not to pull, I find the Canny Collar to be a dream. The dogs respond beautifully to it without fighting I've had with other head collars.

Thank you for helping me enjoy walking the dogs again!"

Bryna Watson, Rye Brook, New York, USA - 12 June 2006

 


"Thank you so much. This morning for the first time in four years, I returned from a walk with Barnum, my GSP, without pain.

I thought I had tried everything, every gadget, every training method. This morning we tried the Canny Collar and I believe for the first time HE was comfortable as well. He could pant and sniff, he just couldn't pull. A complete breakthrough for us! Thank you."

Grace Garvey & Barnum, Birmingham, UK - 8 June 2006

 


"The Champ Walk Master will definitely be the last in a long line of items I have tried for walking my dog - the word that first comes to mind is MIRACULOUS! My dog is not large, 25 pounds, but she can pull your arm so hard that walking is not usually an enjoyable outing. The Walk Master will definitely improve both of our lives and our bond, instead of just playing 'fetch' in the house or skipping exercise altogether, we will go on those much needed and relaxing walks that we see others enjoying so much.

I work in a busy Animal Hospital and will continue to recommend the Walk Master for all of our clients in need of such a wonderful tool. Thank you and congratulations on a wonderful invention!"

"I have just purchased a Canny Collar from my local RSPCA for Sydney, my cross Springer/Labrador. She has worn it just the once and it was great. I didn't have to run to the park at 100 miles an hour - usually when she sees a cat my arm gets pulled from its socket!

Great invention - I have used two other halters which both pulled on her face and began to mark just beneath the eye. Needless to say I have stopped using them.

I would recommend the Canny Collar to anyone with a pulling dog. Thanks once again."

Jackie Gumbleton, March, Cambs UK - 30 May 2006

 


"I'd just like to express my amazement at your training collar. I have just purchased it as an alternative to a halti we used on our previous dog and was amazed that something seemingly so simple could be so effective on Jazz, our five month old Doberman bitch.

She took to it really well and within five minutes I was actually taking her for a walk rather than her thinking she was going to do what she liked and causing both of us a lot of hassle!

Brilliant. Thanks very much, well worth the outlay."

Graham Wright, Dagenham, Essex, UK - 24 March 2006

 

 

 

"I just want to say thank you for your rapid despatch of Jasper's Canny Collar. What a fantastic device! I will be putting the Halti in the bin. The Canny Collar has transformed Jasper's walking behaviour, it has got to be the best thing we have ever bought. No stretched arms anymore!

Barry Halstead, Glasgow, UK - 17 March 2006

 


"I wanted to thank you for letting me try the Canny Collar after I met you at the pet expo yesterday. I had one of the best experiences this morning with a chocolate lab that I have been thinking about telling the owners they would have to find a new dog walker because it wasn't worth the risk for me to walk this dog.

It went great! He enjoyed the walk and I felt in control the whole time."

Lisa Sellman, Aloha Pet Care, Minnesota, USA - 3 March 2006


"I bought a Canny Collar from Poudre Feed for the loud and mouthy Australian Terrier I told you about and IT IS WORKING GREAT!!!! I'm SO Happy!!

Julie Yamane, Canine Learning Center, Colorado, USA - 3 March 2006

 


"Moe's collar is awesome!! He walks like a dream and seems to be pretty comfortable with it. I can't wait to get one for our Lab, Sara."

Stacy Peterson and Moe (170lb Great Dane), Minnesota, USA - 3 March 2006


"Just a few lines to praise your product and service. I ordered a collar mid afternoon last Wednesday and the lady I spoke to was very pleasant and helpful. It's particularly nice to be offered a 'green' option and even better to be rewarded with a price reduction for choosing it. Amazingly, the collar arrived before our walk on Thursday.

To my delight, on our very first walk our dog totally ceased his irritating habit of weaving from side to side and his frequent stops to sniff followed by the inevitable leg-cocking at every tree were very easy to prevent. More than once I looked down to find that he had been walking with such a loose lead that the nose band had slipped off!! It is hard to believe that your device has not only reduced the strength of his pull to something an elderly person could manage but has already started to teach him to walk without pulling.

I am doing my best to spread the word about this fantastic device!

Lynn Sharp, Kent, UK - 20 Feb 2006

 


"Just received two of your collars for my springers, both of whom would tear your arm out of its socket on a walk. Within five minutes of putting the collar on I had both dogs fully under control walking to heel with no pulling on the lead. I have tried every type of collar including Haltis and other 'harness' type products but none of them perform anywhere near that of the Canny Collar.

This is a great product which every dog owner should have. I will certainly recommend the collar to my friends who have equally enthusiastic dogs. Many thanks.

Mike Hawkey, Guildford, Surrey, UK - 22 Dec 2005


"I recently ordered the Canny Collar which arrived today for my German Shepherd of 2 years (Boadicea).

Within 3 minutes, she was walking absolutely beautifully. I am in shock! Having watched The Dog Whisperer on Sky TV, it inspired me to look for the right leash.

Thank you so much for enabling me to have the pleasure in being able to walk my dog now. What a wonderful invention!"

Jenny Presley & Boadicea, Hatton, Derbys, UK - 1 Dec 2005 

 


"I just felt I had to write in about your collar. I have a six-month-old, seven stone Rotti called Scooby who has pulled ever since I started walking him and with arthritis, you can imagine the pain in my back. I had tried everything. I thought this was just another gimmick to try and so ordered one which arrived this morning. I looked at your video to make sure we had it on correctly and away we we went.

He hated it at first but I followed your instructions and it was awesome!! It was great to come back with no back pain whatsoever due to pulling. I just wish some one had told me about it sooner!

I have tried harnesses and other head collars but YOURS IS DEFINITELY THE BEST!! Thanks from me and my my back!"

Joan Weir & Scooby, Dudley, W Midlands, UK - 14 Oct 2005

 


"I was walking past my local pet shop when one of the girls working there said she had seen me walking past for weeks struggling with Meg, my border collie. She asked if I had tried one of your collars as I had tried just about every other product going and taken Meg to training classes. All other products had been unsuccessful and had even left abrasions on her skin.

I have to admit I was sceptical at first as the girl invited me into the shop to do a 'test walk' but the improvement was instant! I walked around outside the shop and could not believe the difference!! I have been struggling for four and a half years and Meg has always pulled on the lead. Not any more! She is a happier dog too.

This really is a fantastic bit of kit! Thank you."

Sara Marshall & Meg, Reading, Berkshire, UK - 6 Oct 2005


"I got my Canny Collar today on the advice of my vet and already I can see an improvement. After years of struggling with a leash aggressive Border Collie with little success using a head collar, I finally had control, Trooper felt happier and I was able to stop any lunging immediately. I will probably buy one for each of my other three dogs purely for the comfort value. Thank you."

Cathy Saxon & Trooper, Shevington, Lancashire, UK - 23 Sept 2005

 


"As the largest dog training company in the world with offices in Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Japan, Taiwan and now Israel, we are called upon to deal with many naughty dogs and in most cases the world's most unruly and mischievous ones. 

Bark Busters Home Dog Training is called on to deal with all types of behaviour from barking to aggression and walking problems. These are just a small part of what we are asked to solve. Our mission has always been the consideration for the welfare of all dogs and to endeavour to save dogs lives and it was with this in mind that we road tested this new innovative Canny Collar.

 

We have over the past 12 months thoroughly scrutinized and tested the Canny Collar and our findings are that the collar is a very useful tool for the owners of strong and willful dogs that do not respond to training using conventional collars. We have found it to be far superior then any other collar of its type and feel that the Canny Collar is of better quality, stronger and far more functional in its design than its predecessors.

 

We have used the collar on many varied breeds, including large and unruly dogs with positive results throughout our organization as well as in the training of Dingoes in Australia and have found it to be very effective and user friendly. We recommend the Canny Collar to anyone who is having difficulty walking his or her dog through normal means. The Canny Collar is also available through our trained Bark Busters therapists worldwide who can demonstrate, size and correctly fit the collar for dog owners in the comfort of their own home’ if they so desire. As well as offering the necessary assistance to get your dog walking on the Canny Collar calmly for you."

"I recently tried the Canny Collar on my Great Dane to see how well it worked. The strap over her muzzle appeared more comfortable than the Gentle Leader. When she wasn't pulling, the strap was very relaxed and was not constrictive in the movement of her jaws. This may be a significant benefit for dogs that resist continual pressure or tension over the bridge of the nose.

The self correcting movement appeared more effective than other collars that I have tried. Once she stopped pulling, the collar immediately released because there wasn't any additional drag on the loop like there is on the collars that attach under the neck.

I will definitely continue to use the collar and 'play' with it to learn how to use it even more effectively and will use it as another option when considering head collars for my canine patients.

Thanks for a great product!"

Dr Christopher Pachel DVM, Twin Cities Veterinary Behavior Referral Service, White Bear Lake, Minnesota, USA - 8 Aug 2005

 


"I used the Canny Collar on two German Shepherds over the weekend. I do feel it is easy to use and effective. I liked it and so did the owners of the Shepherds.

Ann Beebe DVM, Veterinary Behavioral Services, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA - 8 Aug 2005

 


My son recently purchased a Canny Collar from you and I would like to say that this is the best Ł15 we have spent on doggy purchases. He has a one year old Doberman bitch and she is very headstrong. We have tried Haltis, half checks and choker collars with minimal success. We have also paid out Ł500 on professional dog training but nothing compares to the Canny Collar.

I wish we had known about this product 9 months ago. Once again, thank you for an excellent product."

David Dewhurst, Burnley, Lancs, UK - 1 Aug 2005

 


"The day after the Canny Collar was demonstrated to us at the Thornberry Animal Sanctuary we successfully re-homed Oscar, a greyhound. A couple liked the look of Oscar, but after a short walk said that he wasn’t for them. We quickly put the Canny Collar on and asked them to walk him again. After experiencing the Canny Collar, they happily agreed to take Oscar home. We have heard from them since and they are delighted with their new dog.

We also had a big German Shepherd cross, Zirus, who had proved almost impossible to re-home and had been at the sanctuary almost a year because he lunged at other dogs when on the lead. The Canny Collar fixed this problem and he is now happily re-homed too.

Thanks Canny Company!"

Jacquie Neilson, Thornberry Animal Sanctuary, North Anston, Sheffield, UK


"The Canny Collar is very well made and the design is simply brilliant. As soon as I saw it I knew it would work. It is easy to use and also extremely effective.

Pippa, my Bearded Collie, had always been a real problem to walk as she pulled on the lead. I had tried other products, but with limited success. With the Canny Collar she immediately walked happily by my side on a loose lead. Walking Pippa on her Canny Collar is an absolute pleasure."

Mary Sanders, Champion Pet Supplies, Nuneaton, Warwickshire, UK

 


"I ordered a Canny Collar from you last week and just want to tell you what a great product I think it is! Within a minute of putting it on my two year old Golden Retriever (Kennedy), he was walking perfectly by my side. I had previously tried a Halti but he went crazy trying to get it off his head. I explained at the time of calling that I was recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and have to wear splints on my hands at all times so you can imagine, walking Kennedy was not very enjoyable! Until now! Now we both enjoy going for our walks without it being a battle of wits as to who can pull the hardest!

I have shown the collar to my vets who were very impressed with it and commented that they do not like to use the "halti" style collar as it pulled the dog's head around. They intend to recommend the Canny Collar to their clients and to order some themselves. I've also recommended the collar to a few of my work colleagues who have dogs.

Finally, I was very impressed by the speed of delivery of my order. I ordered it last Wednesday, and it arrived here (in Dublin) the following morning!

So what can I say? Thank you so much for a perfect solution to my dog walking problem!"

Jakki Brennan, Dublin, Ireland

 


"I have found the Canny Collar invaluable. Recently a distressed couple returned a dog they had taken just a few days before. Goose was pulling so badly on the lead that they just couldn't manage him outside. I suggested they try him on a Canny Collar, which we did there and then. They set off up the lane to try it out. Within minutes they were back, beaming. Goose was transformed and they said walking him on a Canny Collar was like walking a different dog. They set off home with Goose in tow and needless to say we haven't heard from them since."

Ros has also experienced huge personal success with the Canny Collar. "My dog, Millie, a Border Collie was always a nightmare to walk near traffic because she literally tried to attack it. I had to cling on for dear life as she tried to hurl herself at oncoming vehicles. I know that if I had let go she would have been under a car, no doubt losing her own life and likely causing a serious accident too. With the Canny Collar I have gained total control of Millie since she really isn't able to pull at all.

What has impressed me most is that the product does the job in a kind manner and is in keeping with the dog's natural movement and behaviour. There really is no comparison to the Canny Collar because it works in a unique way, bringing the dog's head down and not pulling the nose to the side.'

Ros Wybrew, Deputy Manager, RSPCA Block Fen, Cambridgeshire, UK

 


"We have been using Canny Collar and found it to be an excellent product. Staff and volunteers find it easy to fit and use and the dogs have responded well to it. Even the strongest dogs are easy to handle. We would recommend the Canny Collar to anyone who wants to train their dog the humane way."

Robyn Doig, Manager, Save A Dog Scheme, Melbourne, Australia

 


"Thank you! My dog is now a dream to walk which means I can take him and my young son out together!

Also, may I commend you on your brilliant customer service. I will be recommending you to all my friends and family. Thanks again."

Lisa Jones, Newport, Gwent, Wales

 


"We have 2 dogs at JFD, a Japanese Akita and a Chocolate Labrador, who are unwalkable without a Canny Collar, yet with it they are a delight. Many of the walkers would refuse to take these two out, but now they never get left behind.

The Canny Collar is by far the best thing we've come across and so much easier to put on than many of the 'headcollars' on the market and the dogs find it more comfortable too."

Margaret Smith, Manager, Just For Dogs, Brailsford, Derbyshire, UK

 


"After a demonstration to our staff, we were very impressed with how the Canny Collar controlled three of our most difficult dogs. Within a very short time, all three were walking obediently on a loose lead, with both handler and dog enjoying the walk."

Barbara Owen, Centre Manager, RSPCA Southport, UK

 


"They are flying out of the door - they're great!"

Julie Ward, Centre Manager, RSPCA Chesterfield, UK

 


"Thank you for the collar. It fits and works brilliantly! What an excellent idea. It's definitely the kindest way I've seen to stop my dog from pulling.

I will make sure that I recommend it at my dog training classes. Thank you again."

Clare Hills, Swinton, Manchester, UK
