Canny Collar No-Pull Dog Headcollar | Train Your Dog To Stop Pulling & Walk On a Regular Collar & Loose Lead | Kind, Safe, Comfortable Training Aid | Red – Size 5

This collar is actually amazingly well designed. For a start it could completely replace any standard collar as an everyday wear item, I think. Its nicely padded, adjustable and very well put together from a "pretty" point of view. The stiches are nice and tight and the metal parts seemingly well chromed.The control part of it can safely wrap out of the way using the supplied clips. Although I would suggest easier to use clips... You can get a selection of various things you could use in a pound shop. And if those wont fit... Add some of the rings you use to clip your keys together... This also works to lengthen it, if needs be.The control section of it is gloriously simple. Just a strap that either slips over the muzzle from under your dogs chin, or becomes part of the collar so that the choice is yours when it comes to the need for stopping your dog pulling without messing about moving components or taking the thing on, or off. What I mean is... If your training your dog on the lead... You can use the collar as a "stopper" or a normal collar. And changing from one to the other takes about 3 seconds. So if your dog wasnt socialised, for example... Or for some reason had a real issue with that one dog down the road... You can use the collar simply as a collar, but stop and apply the "muzzle" in a few seconds to get past and train your dog.But it has the added benefit of the nose strap... The controling bit, being threaded back through the neck section of the collar which means that when the dog pulls, the force of the strap pulls the dogs nose directly down and back towards itself. Wheres the Halti, the other controling collar that I brought, used a specific sized muzzle strap that would pull back up towards the user... Meaning the thing tightened and scraped up the dogs nose and twisted her neck... It did the same job, they both stopped my dog from pulling, but the canny collar did it in a much nicer way, and in a better package.The other good thing that i noticed was that because the canny collars controling strap just looped over the top of my dogs snout, that my dog could yawn and open her mouth fully, which didnt bother her anywhere near as much as the Halti, so she scratched less with it.Also, and heres the major thing... Its MUCH easier to get on and off compared to anything else like this as the nose strap is really loose when installing... So it slips over really easily. This could be seen as a bad thing as others have noted that the nose bit slips off. This could easily be true, but fixed by keeping a very slight pressure on the lead... Even having a heavier dog lead clip seemed to help with me. But after having the collar for loads of walks now, its only ever "came off" twice. But that just means the collar went back to a normal collar, and it took a few seconds to rectify.I honestly couldn't recomend this collar enough.(btw, my dog is a border collie. Not sure how it would work on a shorter snout dog. May be fine... May not. I havent seen it in action)

Great lead this was recommended to me by someone walking their German shepered we have a lab that pulls this lead is really good quite gentle but does the job she took to it straight away I think she will be walking well quite soon

Whilst not perfect this collar does do what it says it will. If you have a dog that pulls it does stop pulling. We have a 7 stone Labrador who can pull me over and with this on he does not pull!!Obviously there’s a but, the collar works like reins when your dog pulls the reins tighten and he stops pulling. But if you have a smart dog they realise that if they stop pulling and actually slow down the reins loosen and he can bat it off his nose. Our dog does this several times during a walk. It is fairly easy to put back on.Another issue is the reins are quite flimsy, the first collar we bought the rein snapped putting it on so if your dog struggles with it once it’s on there is a risk of them damaging it. We did get a new collar when this happened (it was frayed so think this didn’t help) it was sent out before the return had even been received so very happy with customer service.Lastly there’s clips to fasten the reins up if you are letting the dog off lead but they do hang down again there’s risk of the collar snapping or the dog getting injured.Obviously you can remove the collar while off lead but if your dog is a nightmare like mine putting it back on during the walk will be a grief.In summary if your issue is your dog pulls forward while walking then this is the perfect solution. If like my dog they walk forwards, backwards, diagonally and upside down then it will create other issues but I will say it’s the best product I’ve found for stopping pulling todate.

The Canny Collar has been extremely successful within one week of delivery! Now there is no pulling at all and she quietly walks by my side. My dog initially tried to remove the nose strap with her paw and/or rubbing her nose on the ground. If she was successful I quickly and calmly put the nose strap back in place and carried on with our walk.
