What size Canny Collar?

Measure your dog’s neck

To ensure your Canny Collar fits accurately and is safe to use when walking your dog, take a tape and measure around your dog's neck snugly, to just behind the ears. Then, choose the correct size Canny Collar for your dog using the following measurements.

Where to measure your dog's neck to ensure the right size Canny Collar

If your dog's neck measurement falls exactly between two sizes, our experience shows that the best option is normally to choose the smaller of the two sizes to ensure a good fit.

Neck size Canny Collar
9" - 11" 1
11" - 13" 2
13" - 15" 3
15" - 17" 4
17" - 19" 5
19" - 21" 6
21" - 23" 7

Fitting & Using A Canny Collar

 

How to fit a Canny Collar step 1 - fasten collar around neck

step 1

Fasten the Canny Collar around your dog's neck, ensuring the buckle is positioned just behind his ears at the back. Fold any excess collar and tuck it under the lip of the buckle. The Canny Collar should fit higher up the neck than a conventional collar, as shown.

 

How to fit a Canny Collar step 2 - test to see it cannot come off

step 2

A snug fit is essential with any head halter to ensure that it cannot come off your dog whilst walking. Test the Canny Collar by trying to pull it off your dog's head whilst facing him - if fitted correctly, this should not be possible.

 

How to fit a Canny Collar step 3 - attach the leash

step 3

Pull each end of the thin nose band behind your dog's head and attach your leash to both 'D' rings at each end.

 

How to fit a Canny Collar step 4 - place noseband over your dog's nose

step 4

Pull the nose band through the small yellow plastic guider at the front of the Canny Collar and place over your dog's snout. With some breeds, it may be easier to do this before attaching the leash. Take care not to twist the nose band before placing it over your dog's snout.

 

How to fit a Canny Collar step 5 - leave plastic guider under chin

step 5

Ensure you leave the plastic guider under your dog's chin. This is absolutely vital. If this plastic guider is not kept under the chin, the Canny Collar will not function correctly.

 

How to fit a Canny Collar step 6 - apply backwards pressure and release

step 6

When your dog starts pulling on the leash, apply gentle backward pressure. Instant release of the pressure occurs when he stops pulling. This pressure and release system is the key to using your Canny Collar correctly as your dog trains himself to stop pulling.

 

How to fit a Canny Collar step 7 - cross slip line behind head

step 7

When letting your dog off leash, the Canny Collar can be left on him by removing the nose band from his snout and pulling it out fully. Cross the nose band behind his head and drop it either side of his head as shown.

 

How to fit a Canny Collar step 8 - fasten together with D rings under chin

step 8

Bring the D rings together to meet underneath his chin and use one or two of the optional carabiner clips to secure the D rings together. Never fasten your leash to the carabiners.

 

When walking your dog, your leash should be kept short but loose so you can control him quickly and easily. An extendable or very long leash is not recommended for use with the Canny Collar as the nose band may not remain in place on your dog's snout.

 

Walking with a Canny Collar

Put the Canny Collar on and go for a walk immediately. Keep your leash short but loose when walking and aim to have your dog in the 'heel' position. Using a shorter training lead will make this easier, around 4 ft length is ideal. Give him plenty of vocal praise when he begins walking well.

The first time you put the nose band over your dog's nose, he may resist it and try to paw it off his face. Any head halter will cause this reaction for some dogs. It is similar to the feeling we have when wearing a wristwatch for the first time - some dogs are simply not used to it. If your dog reacts this way, try desensitizing him first by introducing the collar slowly, then building up to going for a walk.

You should continue walking so that your dog focuses on the walk rather than on the Canny Collar, lifting your leash when he paws at it and verbally encouraging him to follow you.

When you first start walking with the Canny Collar and getting your dog used to wearing it, you will have to pay attention to him during the first few minutes to make sure he is keeping his head upright, that the Canny Collar is loose around the mouth area and that the leash is long enough to be loose but short enough so that the nose band does not move towards the front of his nose and fall off.

These first couple of minutes are an opportunity to connect with your dog and be focused on training him to walk well. The first five or ten minutes are the most important part of the walk for both of you and if you can get your dog walking well in this time, the rest of the walk will be a breeze.

 

Keep your leash loose when walking

Once your dog is walking, instantly lower the leash to release the pressure on the Canny Collar (you should also let him have some more leash here) and give him plenty of vocal praise whilst keeping walking. He needs to know that at some point in the walk, the pressure will be released; otherwise he may just continue to pull against it.

Repeat this action if again he tries to remove the Canny Collar. Because the leash is connected behind his head, he will not be able to get a paw over it and bring the walk to a stop. Nor will he get the Canny Collar off over his head if the leash is kept in the correct position. Sometimes you may need to let the leash out if he drops behind you, bringing it back in again once he catches up.

Once any initial resistance to the Canny Collar has stopped, continue walking your dog for a short distance and then stop and give him plenty of praise.

Use treats or clicker training if your dog responds well to these to accustom him to the Canny Collar.

Ordering

What if I order the wrong size Canny Collar?

No problem. Providing you purchased the collar from our website and return it to us within 7 days in a new and resaleable condition, we will exchange it for you. Simply return your collar to us along with a printout of this form and we'll do the rest.

 

How do the sizings work on the Canny Collar?

Since dogs, like humans, come in all shapes and sizes, it’s important to measure your dog's neck snugly to ensure you have the correct size Canny Collar. As your dog's neck can sometimes be hard to measure accurately (especially if there is a lot of fur), we have designed the Canny Collar so that each size overlaps with the sizes above and below, so there is some flexibility when choosing your size.

Once you have your collar fitted, it's advisable to test first in your garden or house to ensure it cannot come off over her head.

 

What if my dog is exactly between two sizes?

If your dog is exactly borderline between two sizes, we generally recommend getting the smaller size of the two options. If you have a puppy however, it may be worth waiting a month or so and buying the larger size.

Love it

I really love the collar. It’s exactly as advertised and my dog doesn’t pull. Only gave 4 stars because it recommended ordering size down if in between sizes. I did and it ‘just fits’ with no wiggle room whatsoever. I would suggest ordering up in case your dog gains weight. I could have returned and gotten a larger size but was afraid it might be way too big and this was not advisable according to the site. That is my decision and no fault of the collar itself. It works well for my pulling dog and that’s what matters. If she gains weight well then I guess I’ll have to order another collar…😊

We have a 100 lb labradoodle, that has a mind of his own. This collar allows us to walk him without him pulling off our feet.

I've tried other 'no-pull' collars, they were uncomfortable, therefore didn't work well. Canny says it will take time and training. It worked for my dogs the very first time wearing it.

The only thing that I wish was different is a quick release snap rather than a typical buckle. My dog has long hair, there other collars are quick-release snaps, so fiddling with the buckle takes some getting used to. - Which is the only reason I switched from 5 star to 4 star.

As for the 'no-pull' claim, I would give 10 stars if I could.

Great product, calmed my young whippet whilst walking

The best dog head collar to help train your dog to walk on a regular collar & leash without pulling

The Canny Collar is the best collar to help train dogs not to pull on leash, transforming even the worst pullers into happy, well-behaved pets.

Voted 'Best New Product' by the UK pet industry when first launched, the Canny Collar is simple to fit, easy to use, kind, safe, comfortable and effective.

 

Walking with a dog that pulls on leash is no fun!

It can also be stressful, frustrating, embarrassing and risk injury to you both if you are pulled over. You have a dog because you want to walk her, not because you want to suffer on your dog walks.

We can help you to enjoy walking your dog.

 

Unique head collar design

Our unique, patented 'behind-the-head' design means the Canny Collar does not ride up into your dog's eyes nor yank her head to one side, both of which will cause her distress, discomfort and which could damage her neck.

 

Trains your dog to walk on a regular collar

Can be used in both 'training collar mode' and 'regular collar mode' by easily dropping the nose band off your dog's nose as needed. This way, you can train your dog to eventually walk on a regular collar and leash.

 

A comfortable fit

The nose band over your dog's nose is soft, strong and adjusts easily to fit the shape of your dog's face. As it is only one light piece of webbing, your dog is able to breathe easily, pant and even carry a ball or toy in her mouth. Because of this, it will never be confused with a muzzle when meeting other dog owners.

The collar that fits around the neck is made from high quality, padded, cushioned webbing which is both strong and comfortable. When your dog is happy she will be much more receptive to training.

 

Total control for you

Your leash attaches to the D rings on the nose band. This works independently of the collar, giving you a direct connection to your dog's 'steering'.

The nose band eliminates pulling and lungeing by applying gentle pressure when your dog pulls and immediately releasing the pressure as your dog stops. The collar part stays in a fixed position, just like your dog's regular collar.

 

Safe & secure

Because the Canny Collar fastens behind the head and not under the chin, your dog cannot lift her paw over her leash and pull the collar off her head. Even if she manages to get a claw into the slip line and pull it off her nose, your leash is still secured to the D rings and so she cannot escape.

The nickel-plated steel buckle provides added reassurance and ensures a secure fastening that will never snap free. This means your dog is always safe, avoiding any potential danger for both of you.

 

Leave it on when off leash

There is no need to remove the Canny Collar when you let your dog off leash. Simply use the carabiner clips included with each collar to fasten the slip line webbing under your dog's chin by first crossing the ends behind her head as per the fitting and using instructions.

 

Large breed dogs

If your dog's neck measures more than 23", for larger dogs the Canny Colossus is the same design but with beefier, more heavy-duty fittings.

 

Superior quality workmanship and top value

Your dog deserves the very best! The top quality padded collar, soft yet strong generous slip line over the nose and nickel-plated steel buckle and fittings mean the Canny Collar is the very best value for money:

  • Combines safety, comfort, superior quality materials, fittings and workmanship
  • Provides complete but gentle control
  • Does not ride into eyes
  • Does not yank your dog's head to one side - recommended by chiropractors
  • Recommended by dog trainers, Guide Dogs, training schools, rescue organizations and veterinarians worldwide
  • Wipeable and washable material is easy to keep clean

If you are embarrassed by your pulling dog, dread taking your dog for a walk and have tried everything else to stop your dog pulling, then the Canny Collar is the answer. Available in the following vibrant colors: black, red, blue and purple.

 

NEW! Offer #1 - Get 20% discount off a Canny Leash!

When you add a matching Canny Leash to your Canny Collar order, you will receive an automatic 20% discount off the price of your leash.

 

NEW! Offer #2 - Save an extra 5% by going PLASTIC-FREE!

To do our bit to help protect the environment, we now produce around half of our Canny Collars with no packaging whatsoever. If you buy your Canny Collar without the plastic outer packaging and paper instructions insert, we will pass on the savings to you so that you get an extra 5% off. A win-win!

Just select 'no box' on the 'packaging' option and you will receive a loose Canny Collar.
