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 leash loosens, the pressure is released.
This helps your dog learn that walking calmly beside you on a loose leash is more comfortable. Praise or treats can be used to positively reinforce good walking behavior.
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 23 inches. For dogs with a neck measurement over 23 inches, 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 leash and is available in seven sizes for most breeds. It is particularly useful where you need greater control while teaching loose-leash walking.
Because a head collar 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 23 inches, choose the Canny Colossus.

- It WORKS! He pulls significantly less, and when he does pull the pressure is evenly distributed.
- No pulling, now we are sauntering about town as leisurely as you please. I am happy, happy, happy!
- Within 10 minutes she was walking to heel.
Walks with 2 dogs - my 10 year old black lab and 15 week old yellow lab are so much better with Canny Collar. Both are pullers and between them, they have 100lbs. Instead of constantly having to stop when they’re pulling, canny collar just stops them from pulling. I’ve had multiple hip surgeries on a defect on my left hip and my right hip has the same condition but haven’t had surgery for it, canny collar allows me to be able to safely enjoy walks with my girls. I’ve been a huge advocate of Canny Collar since Ginny was a pup, and I’ll continue to be with our Luna. That’s a decade of using canny collar and many more to come.
We have spent $100s on products for our bully/mastiff mix. Prong collars (which I hate), halti style, martingale, choke chain (also hate), harnesses, you name it and nothing compares to his collar.
We just bought this for our big 100lbs ball of muscle and he truly enjoys his walks using this. My husband is also not swearing at him or having his shoulder pulled out of his socket when our dog sees a squirrel.
The key parts for us is that it connects on the back of his head, so the leash doesn’t get tangled in his legs like with a halti style that connects under his chin. The next best thing is he can open his mouth fully to pant on walks. Other styles have prevented this. He has droopy jowls as well, since this does not go near his jowls he isn’t affected. The halti would tighten around his jowls and he would paw to get it off constantly on walks. The last thing that we love about it, he is learning that he can walk with it loose and still have fun. He is naturally learning to not pull anymore. He is almost 4 years old and I wish we found this product 3.5 years ago!
This has made a world of difference on walks and we will be telling all of our friends with pulling type dogs.
Great product!
My previous do used a Canny Collar. It worked great for him. I wanted to try the Canny Collar for my new puppy; but, the one that I have is too big; so, I ordered the size 3. My puppy took a while to get. used to it; but, he now wears it anytime we go outdoors. It does seem to help control the pulling. He spends more time walking on a loose leash now rather than a taut leash. If he pulls, the nose band will tighten around his muzzle and he will stop. Not just stop pulling, he will stop and go into the Down position. I will say his name and then the word Come. He will come to me and I'll give him a treat.
Other people have suggested other types of collars and harnesses and they seem to work for their dogs. The Canny Collar works for my pup. It's what I would recommend.
Hi there! We're so glad to hear the Canny Collar is helping your puppy and that he's comfortable with it. Thanks for recommending it and sharing your positive experience. Thanks also for sticking with our brand as a loyal customer! Wishing you many more happy walks together! 🐾 🐾
Thank you so much for the order, and all the communication so I knew when I was going to get it!
Hi Yves, we're thrilled to hear you love the Canny Collar, even after all these years of working with us! Thank you for your kind words. We appreciate your support and if there is ever anything we can do for you, just reach out.
The Canny collar has been a life changer for me! I have a 10 month golden retriever that’s a strong puller and so distracted that a prong collar was not effective. The first time using the Canny collar was unbelievable! My pup walked right beside me on a loose leash and she got used to wearing it in no time.
I have used the Gentle Leader in the past but I really like the design of the Canny collar where it clips behind the head instead of under the chin. It keeps the head from turning to the side if she pulls so I think it is more comfortable for the dog.
I would highly recommend this collar for anyone who struggles walking their dog.
Hi Barbara, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with the Canny Collar! We're thrilled to hear it has made walks more enjoyable for you and your retriever. Your recommendation means a lot to us. Happy walking! 😊
The product instructions state that the “collar is not a replacement for training.” I agree; however, the collar is poorly designed.
As in other reviews, I too had the issue with the nose band falling off. The dog quits pulling (desired behavior), looks to the handler, and the nose band falls off. I tried two different sizes. Basically, this training tool “requires” the handler to maintain a tight leash (applying pressure so the nose band does not fall off). Where is the reward for the dog? I will be returning both collars.
Hi Michelle - Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, and sorry to hear that the Canny has not worked out for you on this occasion. The Canny Collar does require a different technique than other 'set and forget' collars on the market, as it is designed to eventually train your dog to walk on a regular collar and leash. With the noseband issue, we do have a useful and informative video on our YouTube channel on this specific issue if you search for it (the channel is TheCannyGroup, our apologies, it will not allow us to post the exact link here, which is disappointing).
good
I have an instafamous 85lb amstaff who pulls so much on the leash. I have tried everything (literally everything!!) to work on it including trainers, gear, treats, and hundreds of hours using different approaches to walks to attempt getting around without it feeling like a battle of wills. If this sounds like you, get this!!
As a last ditch effort I ordered one of these collars. It WORKS! He pulls significantly less, and when he does pull the pressure is so evenly distributed I barely feel it and he slows down instead of leaning into it more like he did with other collars and harnesses.
I may need to reorder a size down as I followed the measurement guide and it ended up being a little big.
Wow Ellen, that is such an awesome testimonial, thank you so, so much for sharing that with us!! 🙌 We are all thrilled at CannyCo America that you have gotten such a great result with your Amstaff! 😊 We'd love to follow your exploits on Insta so if you would be so kind as to share your account, we'll jump right in!
The collar itself is made out of very durable material. When I first put it on my 5 month old golden retriever, I was impressed with how much easier it was to control her pulling. However, the pulling has not stopped. My dog hates wearing the strip across her nose and is constantly pawing and jumping trying to get free of it. This is not the easy solution I thought it would be.
My experience with CannyCo was GREAT! Effortless
ordering and quick delivery. Would highly recommend!!
Canny Collar
The Canny collar and leash are amazing! It is the only system that we have found that stops our 2 large dogs from pulling . Also love that it is adjustable and can be turned into a regular collar and leash without the nose piece.
Porduct quality is fine, However the collar did nothing to stop my Pyrenes from pulling. It may be that it is sized incorrectly, but figuring out the correct size without the ability to try it on was difficult. I ordered based on the chart and the measurements I took from our pet, but she is extremely furry which made it difficult. Sadly, the extremely limited return policy is not that forgiving, with restocking, shipping and "we dont encourage size exchanges" I feel like the value isnt worth it. Had I ordered through Chewy, their exchange and return policy would allow an exchange or return for up to 1 year for nearly any reason.
I bought my first one from Amazon and it was too small. After contacting CannyCo directly, I sent them said collar and they immediately sent me the next size up for free!! My freight train of a pooch no longer pulls and was acclimated after two short walks. This company is absolutely top tier on all levels. Will definitely continue doing business with them in the future. Thank you CannyCo!!!!
We are loving the canny collar it’s night and day walking our golden and we couldn’t be happier!
My puppy does so much better on the Canny Collar than the Gentle Leader. Her being able to open her mouth more makes it more comfortable for her when she gets excited or after she has played really hard.
She doesn't fight to take it off of her during walks like she did with the gentle leader. For reference, she let's me put either on her easily.
I also really like that the leash attach point is behind the head instead of under it (no more tripping on or getting the leash stuck under her leg). Helps just as much with the pulling. The collar only mode is a huge plus too.
Overall a great purchase.
I have a hundred pound Malamute and walking her is like she’s thinking she has to get the medicine to Nome. I was crossing my fingers and hoping and what do you know?!? No pulling, at first she tried to rub it off but I kept the leash up high and distracted with treats and now we are sauntering about town as leisurely as you please. I am happy, happy, happy and I think she is too!!
I love these Canny Collars. Feel so much safer walking my dogs down the street and they are behaving so much better.
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.
Really works
Great product, calmed my young whippet whilst walking
Just what I was looking for, perfect for my doggo.
Great product that prevents my dog from pulling on his lead without twisting his neck/ head.
I'm not usually one to review products however, the Canny Collar has worked like a dream on all 3 of our dogs. One extremely strong labrador and 2 very excitable labradoodle pups....safe to say they are all an absolute pleasure to walk now.
Well made, easy to put on. The collar fits securely. Unfortunately my Rottweiler still manages to pull it off his short snout.
Enjoy more relaxed walks with the Canny Collar
The Canny Collar is a comfortable no-pull dog head collar designed to help train dogs that pull on the leash. Its patented behind-the-head design gives you greater control without pulling your dog's head to one side, helping you teach calm, loose-leash 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 leash loosens, the pressure is released. This helps your dog learn that walking calmly beside you on a loose leash is more comfortable.
Praise or treats can be used to positively reinforce good walking behavior. 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 head collars where the leash attaches beneath the chin, the Canny Collar attaches behind your dog's head. This applies leash 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 leash 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 leash 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 leash to both D-rings and place the noseband over the muzzle.
The Canny Collar is available in seven sizes for neck measurements from 9 to 23 inches, with four colors to choose from. For dogs with a neck measurement over 23 inches, the heavier-duty Canny Colossus is available for giant breeds.
From head collar to regular collar
The removable noseband makes it easy to transition your dog towards walking on a conventional collar and leash as their loose-leash walking improves.
For off-leash 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 leash.
The Canny Collar is designed to be worn when walking, training and when your dog is let off leash temporarily. It is not a substitute for your dog’s regular collar. Never attach your leash to the carabiners.
