The Canny Collar
The Canny Collar is a simple dog head collar with a single, self-adjusting and removable noseband.
The innovative 'behind-the-head' design makes it easy to fit and simple to use. This means that it will also not ride up into your dog’s eyes nor yank their head to one side.
“The Canny Collar was voted 'Best New Product' by the UK Pet Product Retail Association shortly after it was launched and is now used by trainers, veterinarians and rescue shelters worldwide”
HOW DOES THE CANNY COLLAR WORK?
The Canny Collar works using the recommended 'pressure and release' system. If your dog pulls on the lead, she will feel pressure on the bridge of her nose. When she doesn't pull, there is no pressure.
Once the pressure is immediately released, the lead slackens when your dog is walking at your side. With your arm relaxed, the Canny Collar automatically does the corrective work. You are free to praise or reward your dog for walking calmly by your side.
Your dog soon learns that by not pulling ahead, the walk is more comfortable for you both. You can positively reinforce the experience with vocal praise and/or her favourite treat.
WHY IS THE CANNY COLLAR DIFFERENT TO OTHER HEAD COLLARS LIKE THE HALTI OR GENTLE LEADER?
Apart from its unique design, the Canny Collar functions differently:
- The Canny Collar fastens behind the head rather than under the chin. The immediate benefit is that there is no yanking your dog's head to one side nor riding up into her eyes.
- The Canny Collar uses a single piece of material over your dog’s face which attaches to the lead at the back of the head. It expands to fit the wider snout of a Boxer or contracts for the slimmer snout of a Greyhound. This gives a perfect fit without affecting the functionality.
- The Canny Collar can be quickly and easily switched into a regular dog collar. Simply flick the noseband on and off your dog's nose when needed. By doing this you can eventually train your dog to walk on a conventional flat collar.
- The Canny Collar doesn’t have to be removed when your dog is off lead and can be safely left on while your dog runs free.
- As the lead attaches behind your dog’s head, she cannot get her paw over it and remove the Canny Collar.
A KIND HEAD COLLAR
The collar itself is generously padded for comfort and the single noseband is soft and comfy. This allows your dog to breathe freely, open her mouth and enjoy her walk. When the lead is loose, your dog feels no pressure at all on her face as she walks calmly by your side.
