"The Canny Collar has been such a useful tool in the training of not only my clients’ dogs, but also my own! It allows for a safe, secure and comfortable way of having more control over your dogs’ movements and stopping them from pulling.
Unlike other head collars, this is by far the easiest to use and most dog friendly due to pulling from the back (not the side) and it has a buckled collar for extra security – so no slipping out!
I will always recommend the Canny Collar to clients as a way of helping to achieve the desired goal of a loose lead walk!"
Trina Guthrie, North Shields, UK
"I received my Canny collar and lead yesterday and took my 3yr old Weimaraner who is 38kg and a prolific puller out and for the first time in 3yrs he was under complete control.
It was a complete and utter game changer!!!
And believe me when I say I have tried EVERYTHING! My boy always finds a way to launch himself, getting distressed and panting. He came back from his walk yesterday not out of breath or even eager to get back and rub his face all over.
He was one happy big chappy and I am an extremely happy dog mum."
David Williamson and Jasper, Sudbury, UK
"Hi and good morning, just wanted to say thanks for the collar! We’ve used it three times now and the change is absolutely astounding!
We have a 4 year old male retriever who was pulling on the lead and almost impossible to walk. On occasion he also barked and leaped at other dogs. Since using the Canny Collar we have so much more control - the pulling has ceased and we’re able to walk past other dogs without any problems! It really is a game changer.
We’re now much more confident walking him, with the added benefit that he’s now learning other dogs aren’t a threat. It’s an incredible product and really has brought back the joy in walking our dog. Thank you."

"Who stole our dog and replaced her with a new obedient one?!
We have a two year old Golden Shepherd named sally, who we got from an old couple when she was about 7 months old as she was to lively for them to handle. I have tried everything over the last year and a half to sort her walking with no success. She would jump out at passing cars and bikes, jump and bark at other dog and pedestrians and I would come back from a walk with an arm feeling like I’d been doing press ups.
We bought a Canny Collar last week and within two walks she is now completely transformed. I cannot believe it is the same dog and with no effort from me, just put the collar on and walked out of the house within yard she seemed to settle to it. Now she is walking beside me like a normal dog.
I used to thread my wrist through the handle of the lead and grip the main lead with my hand to be able hold her. Tonight, I kid you not, at times I was walking and holding her with one finger.
Thank you very much and I will wholeheartedly recommend this to everybody."
Kimberley Jones and Rita, Teesside, UK
"Just wanted to send a message to say THANK YOU a million times!!!! I’ve just got back from a walk with my 2 yr old Staffy Rita and had a wonderful calm walk.
To give you the back story Rita is 18kg of pure Staffy muscle, always on cat prowl, walks at 4789374mph and gets excited and darts forward. Walking as a family just doesn’t happen as she drags me after my son. It’s got to the point I’ve had to go to physio for my shoulders!! We’ve gone through countless dog trainers, tried all of the gadgets and gizmos and (pardon the pun) we were at the end of our tether with her.
Someone mentioned the Canny Collar and I was a little dubious as we’ve had head collars before but this one was something else! I love the thick fixed collar and the reins behind the head instead of the chin, she couldn’t slip out (despite her best efforts).
For the first time in months I’ve managed to take my son with his scooter and haven’t ended up stressed or my shoulders in bits!"
Sara Douglas and Rocky, Derby, UK
"I just wanted to say how impressed I am with the service l have received via your company. I placed an order yesterday afternoon and it was packaged and shipped the same day and has arrived with me for dinner time the following day.
I adore the product having used it on my nervous reactive rescue dog and find it to be far superior to its competitors such as Halti etc. This is my third Canny Collar now and l wouldn’t be without one for my dogs. Thank you for a brilliant product and the outstanding service. I have enclosed a photo of my rescue dog Rocky sporting his Canny Collar proudly."

"The Canny Collar is a miracle!
We have tried everything for our small poodle, Shitzu mixed breed. He is two and would never walk to heel. Well trained in all other aspects but a nightmare to walk. Constantly pulling. Within minutes of wearing this collar, he is now a dream to walk AND he is happy with it.
He actually almost immediately accepted the Canny Collar and seems to like it. It does not seem uncomfortable for him in any way.I only wish I had found it sooner as it would have saved us a lot of money.
He hated his harness and would hide when we got it out! He has a short nose due to his breeding and it still works perfectly. He now walks beside us perfectly and walking is now a joy. He is so well trained in all other ways, perfect recall, loads of tricks etc. We are both retired and although he is small, walking was strenuous as he constantly pulled, probably in anticipation of getting to a place where we chuck his ball (obsessed with it).
Thank you again!"

”Miracle!!
I have adopted a cheerful, curious and willing greyhound, of 25-26kg. We've had her for 3 months. She not only pulls on the lead, but pulls left right, also turns 180 degrees and pulls, when we've gently walked past another dog! She uses her shoulders to lead the direction left and right , she's a bit of a strength trainer in herself.
But I got the Canny Collar in the post yesterday , and used it this morning. I couldn't believe it! Loose lead all the way, easy to navigate the dog, lots of praise as you suggest, and only a few attempts to paw it away, easily solved by walking even faster. So now I get stamina training ! No bad thing.
So thank you for the miracle!
My daughter has got a Canny Collar for her Malamute, it's lasted 5 years, still good, and has made life so much easier to walk her dog. So it was a recommendation from my daughter. I'll tell our vets, next time I go. They recommended a halti, but I said my doberman just strengthened his neck muscles, and sorted that out in a week or two!
The clever mechanics of your collar will sort out my dog!”

”I’ve previously owned 2 Canny Collars and this week I received my third for my young cocker spaniel. I had forgotten how effective your collars are and I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my recent purchase.
Our spaniel Milo is only 16 months old and can be a bit of an handful when out walking. He is only 12.5 kilos but he has the strength of a much bigger and heavier dog.
I received the collar yesterday and started using it this morning. Milo (not surprisingly) wasn’t sure about the strap across his nose and attempted to paw it off but after about 100 metres he soon started to walk without any issues. Over the 3 mile walk he did occasionally try the odd time to remove it but this wasn't a major problem.
The difference in the way he walked was remarkable! He did not attempt to pull in any way and walked to my side. It will not be long before he gets used to the Canny Collar and it will be more pleasurable to be out walking.
I made a wise decision to also buy the Canny Lead and I am also pleased with the thought given to its design and manufacture.”

”I’ve been walking a huge Golden Retriever for the past two weeks. Well, when I say ‘walking’ I mean handling! He jumps, mouths the leash, my hands and arms (to the point of bruising). I trained that behaviour down to a minimum but still he pulled like crazy (I’m only 5ft tall) and I was starting to dread the two walks per day that the owners requested.
I was advised to try the Canny Collar. It arrived today so I tried it first on a Golden Labrador who resisted it so I was expecting quite the battle with the retriever as he’s bigger and far less obedient on leash.
However, much to my joy, from the moment we stepped out this dog walked like a dream with your collar on. It was an absolute joy to have him stay at my side and stop when I did. In addition, I was able to stop and chat and there was none of the old jumping and attention seeking behaviour. I cried, I was so overjoyed at being able to walk him as outside of walking he is an absolutely adorable dog.
I cannot express how impressed I was and how dramatic and immediate the change was!! (He reverted back to pulling when I tried his old lead again so it’s definitely the collar doing the work!!)
I will be shouting your name from the rooftops and recommending you to all I know. Many, many thanks.”
Peter Mason, Claverdon, Warwickshire, UK
“I am writing to say how useful I find your Canny Leads. I have three dogs and I purchased three of these leads in 2016. There are so many times when I have to temporarily secure one or more of the dogs to a lamppost or fence and the clip on the handle makes this so easy to do.
When I take the dogs to the park in the car they all want to exit the car at once but I can secure them, for a controlled exit, inside the car before I leave home. These leads are a brilliant idea and I am amazed no-one has thought of this before.”
Aimee Collier and Indi, Birmingham, UK
“I’d fully recommend the Canny Collar to anyone who is looking for a gentle and effective way to control their dog when walking. Indi is very fearful of people passing nearby and would pull to chase buses and motorcyclists or children on bikes. She has now learned to not pull ahead or lunge because the Canny Collar helped us to keep her under control while we used positive reinforcement of treat training alongside it. We could see the difference on the very first walk.
Indi had a tendency to lunge for motorbikes, cyclists, joggers...basically anything fast moving. Quite a dangerous problem on a busy road. Now with the lightest of touch she is back under control and is learning to be completely disinterested in passers-by. She walks happily and it's a joyous easy walk for us.”
