What size do I need?
Use our Canny Collar sizing guide to find the perfect fit for your dog. If you order the wrong size, contact us at info@cannyco.com and we’ll help arrange an exchange. Please check the fit indoors before using your collar on walks.
How do I fit and use my Canny Collar?
Correct fitting is essential for comfort, security and effective training. Follow our step-by-step Canny Collar fitting and walking instructions.
How does the Canny Collar work?
The Canny Collar uses a gentle pressure and release technique to train your dog not to pull. The behind-the-head design keeps your dog's head, neck, and body straight when they pull, preventing their head from twisting.
When your dog pulls, she feels mild, even pressure across the bridge of her nose. As soon as she stops pulling and the lead loosens, the pressure is released.
This helps your dog learn that walking calmly beside you on a loose lead is more comfortable. Praise or treats can be used to positively reinforce good walking behaviour.
See our comprehensive guide to how dog headcollars work here.
Is the Canny Collar suitable for large dogs?
The Canny Collar is available in seven sizes for small to large dogs, with neck sizes up to 58cm. For dogs with a neck measurement over 58cm, including many giant breeds, choose the heavier-duty Canny Colossus. Measure your dog's neck before ordering to ensure you select the correct size.
Is the Canny Collar right for my dog?
The Canny Collar is designed for dogs that pull on the lead and is available in seven sizes for most breeds. It is particularly useful where you need greater control while teaching loose-lead walking.
Because a headcollar needs sufficient muzzle length to sit securely, it may not be suitable for very flat-faced breeds such as Pugs or French Bulldogs.
For dogs with a neck measurement over 58cm, choose the Canny Colossus.

- Absolute game changer, thank you
- My dog is so much easier to walk with the Canny Collar.
- I have a 10 month old Labrador who love everybody and every dog he sees but he forgets I'm on the other
An amazing head collar for a very strong and huge Boxer who loves everyone that dares to say hello to him! Gives me very good control of him especially since my hip replacement. I cannot afford to be pulled over. This collar makes walking in busy places so much more enjoyable.
Hi Linda! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience of the Canny Collar, we're thrilled to hear that you got such a great result with your boxer! 😊 Hope you both enjoy many happy walks together. 🐾 🐾
I’m very happy with this product, it really has made a massive difference on how much my dog pulls. I’d definitely recommend,
Thanks Des, the owner of a stubborn German Shepherd.
I was recommended to try this by a customer in Pets at Home who, like us, has a highly exuberant cocker spaniel. Walking our puppy was not easy and the constant pulling was very tiresome and exhausting! However, the Canny Collar has changed it completely! It is now a pleasure to take him for a (very calm) walk. Really well made, great colour (red), little bit tricky to master getting it on at first (plus doesn't help having an excitable puppy) but once on, he accepted it quickly and like another reviewer, only tries to pull it off if he lays down. I had a query for the company after I bought it which got answered and resolved super quick. Highly recommend, thank you Team Canny Collar!
I bought this to help walk my 8 months old lab puppy. Walking him on a standard lead was like having a toddler on a bungee cord. I bought the canny collar on a dog trainers advice and it's brilliant. Getting Shep into the collar properly was tricky at first but now he is used to it he walks beautifully. I have health issues and walking him before the canny collar was exhausting. Now I can walk him for twice as long with very little effort. If you are purchasing one go a size smaller because they need to be a snug fit. (Shep after a long walk)
We absolutely LOVE The Canny Company head collars. We had the size 2 when Floki was a puppy and it was brilliant to reduce pulling. As he has gotten older and bigger, we could see a difference in his strength and the effectiveness so we remeasured him and bought him a new size and, as always, is performing brilliantly! I would definitely recommend anyone to try to help reduce the pulling when walking. Thank you once again!
The Canny collar has helped me and my dog a lot as he used to pull like a steam train on walks and i used to struggle walking him till i found a canny collar in the local charity shop and I've been doing a lot of training with him with regards to pulling and reacting to dogs and now i can walk him with no issues and it ensures i can still take him out for walkies once i've had my hip operation.
It's a brilliant piece of kit and I love it, I recommend it to all my dog walking customers who have dogs that are pullers and they've agreed they've seen a massive difference on walks.
The difference between not using the Canny Collar vs using the Canny Collar is chalk and cheese.
Before - Walking is an absolute nightmare.
After - (3 weeks of use) perfect puppy (1 year old spaniel).
The change was instant - So much better - but the dog learned after 3 weeks to be a perfect puppy. Where before I would have to hold tight as the dog was walking me, now he is an absolute angel. I would not believe it, if I did not see the change for myself.
Wow Matt, thank you so much for your kind words, we're thrilled to hear about the amazing transformation with your puppy! 😎 Thanks so much for sharing this. We're a small, family company and feedback like this really lifts us up and helps us out of bed in the mornings! 🙌 It has made our day to know that the Canny Collar made such a difference to your walks with your puppy. Hope you both enjoy many more happy walks together! 🐾 🐾
Wonderful company we're on our second collar as our first one developed a small fault one quick email resulted with a new one being mild free of charge fantastic collar fantastic customer services would highly recommend
Thank you so much for your kind words Grant, and we're thrilled to hear you're happy with our collar and service! We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to serving you again in the future. 😊
I have 2 miniature poodles who have been attacked whilst walking with a harness. This has made them reactive and anxious. I have used these collars for a while ( they have 2 each so I can wash them) one of my dogs actually heals most of the time . Neither of my dogs pull like they used to do when wearing a harness. I would recommend these collars to anyone the dogs can breath naturally and as the lead clips behind the head the dog is in a natural position and movement. Yes they can get the nose piece off (demonstrating it’s not to tight ) but it’s easy to put back on again. I’m sure one of my dogs who is very anxious prefers this collar as he used to pull and skulk very close to the hedge now he has his poodle prance back.
Thank you so much Gillian for such a lovely review. 😊 We're absolutely thrilled that you are now able to enjoy walking your dogs, especially given their prior distressing experience when on a harness. You've obviously done some great work with them both on walks, we imagine they would have been hesitant to go outdoors at first after being attacked (and it would have been awful for you too of course). And we loved your comment about one of your dogs getting his 'poodle prance' back! 😂 Best of luck with them both, we really appreciate you sharing your experience with others. We hope you all enjoy many more happy walks together. 🐾 🐾
My dog is so much easier to walk with the Canny Collar.
Hi Patricia, we're delighted to hear that the Canny Collar has made walks easier for you and your dog! Thanks for sharing your experience.
I purchased a Canny Collar to hopefully help us train our rescue Border Collie walk nicely without pulling our arms off , I have to admit , it works , he still pulls a bit , but nothing like he used to . I was a bit sceptical at first , but now I’m a convert. It makes training him more pleasurable.
Hi Alan, thank you so much for sharing your positive experience! We're thrilled to hear the Canny Collar is helping make walks more enjoyable for both you and your rescue Border Collie. 😊 Keep up the great work with training! Best wishes from all the team here. 🐾 🐾
The no pull collar is excellent but I have to pay a hefty sum for custom clearance because zero value invoice for own used was not attached.
Hi there, thank you for your positive feedback on the collar, we wish you the best of luck with training your dog! We apologise for the inconvenience caused by the customs charge, but we cannot attach a zero-value invoice for an item purchased from our website. Doing so is illegal customs fraud, as real commercial transactions require accurate value declarations regardless of intended personal use. Thanks for your understanding!
A relief from stretched arms and backache the canny collar has made walks so much better L was advised by my daughter to get one but I didn’t listen until now. The canny collar has made such a difference worth every penny
Hi Carol, we're so pleased to hear the Canny Collar has made walks easier and more enjoyable for you! Thanks for sharing your experience and for trusting your daughter's advice. Happy walking! 🐾 🐾
Amazing! It's absolutely changed our walks and the way I'll pup thinks! He's absolutely manic when he's not on cannie collar. This just gives us the strength to be able to take him for longer walks without feeling like we've done a workout. Would 100% recommend
Thank you so much Zoe for taking the time to share your experience with the Canny. 😊 We're delighted that it is working out so well for you and hope you both enjoy many happy walks together. 🐾 🐾
Good quality harness and well made. I like the fact that if the dog starts to pull, the nose band tucks the chin down towards the chest which is less dangerous than many head collars which jerk the head sideways and can jar the neck. Easy to put on and adjust. I have an OES, weight 27kg, and she measured on the edge of size 4/5. I choose the size 4 as recommended but had to change it for the size 5 as I felt that was more secure with being able to tuck in the collar point securely plus allow for any slight growth as she is an adult puppy. Very happy with the exchange process, quick and no quibbling.
Hi Bernadette, thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear you're happy with the Canny Collar and that it works well for your OES. Glad the exchange process was smooth too. Wishing you and your pup many happy walks ahead!
Really good quality collar and the customer service is outstanding. The collar has not stopped the pulling completely but it’s early days and my dog is ok wearing it so I am sure we will get there eventually
Hi Elizabeth, thank you so much for your kind words! We're glad your dog is comfortable with the collar, and we’re confident you'll see even better results with time. Feel free to reach out if you need any further support. Happy training!
amazing service
Great collar for an exuberant one year old retriever to control the pulling.
I do however find it all a bit faffy when you take the nose piece off to try and wrap it round and use the attachments hence the 4 stars
Hi Ginny, thank you for your kind words and the helpful feedback! We're glad the Canny helps with your retriever. We understand it can sometimes be a bit fiddly to attach the carabiners when you let your dog off lead; we'll pass your comments along to our team. Thanks for your support!
Fantastic training addition for control whilst walking 👍🏻👍🏻
Great quality
Absolute game changer, thank you
I have a 6 month old Akita who would pull on his lead. After using a canny collar over 20 years ago with my German Shepherd, I decided to try it again this time round. What a game changer. Walking to heel straight away with no pulling what so ever. Walking him is now a pleasure rather than feeling like I've done 10 miles on the rowing machine in the gym! Highly recommend.
Fabulous collar, super pleased with this product. Quick delivery and amazing service.
Will definitely use this company again and will be telling everyone about them.

Enjoy more relaxed walks with the Canny Collar
The Canny Collar is a comfortable no-pull dog headcollar designed to help train dogs that pull on the lead. Its patented behind-the-head design gives you greater control without pulling your dog's head to one side, helping you teach calm, loose-lead walking using a gentle pressure-and-release technique.
Helps train your dog to stop pulling
When your dog pulls, gentle pressure is applied across the bridge of the nose. As soon as your dog stops pulling and the lead loosens, the pressure is released. This helps your dog learn that walking calmly beside you on a loose lead is more comfortable.
Praise or treats can be used to positively reinforce good walking behaviour. The Canny Collar is a training aid rather than a quick fix, helping you develop better walking habits together.
Behind-the-head design for greater control
Unlike many headcollars where the lead attaches beneath the chin, the Canny Collar attaches behind your dog's head. This applies lead pressure straight back rather than pulling the head sideways.
The design also helps prevent the noseband riding up towards your dog's eyes and makes it much more difficult for your dog to get a paw over the lead and pull the noseband off.
Comfortable for your dog
The Canny Collar has a generously padded collar and a soft, single noseband that self-adjusts to the shape of your dog's muzzle.
With the lead loose, your dog can open their mouth freely to breathe, pant and drink. There are no complicated straps around the face and the collar fastens around the neck like a conventional dog collar.
Easy to fit and use
Simply fasten the collar around your dog's neck, attach your lead to both D-rings and place the noseband over the muzzle.
The Canny Collar is available in seven sizes for neck measurements from 23–58cm, with four colours to choose from. For dogs with a neck measurement over 58cm, the heavier-duty Canny Colossus is available for giant breeds.
From headcollar to regular collar
The removable noseband makes it easy to transition your dog towards walking on a conventional collar and lead as their loose-lead walking improves.
For off-lead exercise, remove the noseband from your dog's muzzle and secure it beneath the chin using the supplied carabiners. This allows the Canny Collar to remain comfortably in place while your dog is off-lead.
The Canny Collar is designed to be worn when walking, training and when your dog is let off lead temporarily. It is not a substitute for your dog’s regular collar. Never attach your lead to the carabiners.
SPECIAL OFFER: Get 20% discount off a Canny Lead!
When you add a matching Canny Lead or Canny Connect Lead to your Canny Collar order, you will receive an automatic 20% discount off your lead.
Discover why thousands of dog owners use the Canny Collar to stop pulling on the lead. This comfortable dog headcollar helps improve loose-lead walking, gives greater control without force and makes walks calmer and more enjoyable.
