Canny Collars from can be a real game-changer for people who struggle with strong dogs or have disabilities that make handling harder. Traditional headcollars like Haltis often get a bad reputation in positive training because they sit tightly around the muzzle and can twist the dog’s head when they pull. Some dogs find that really uncomfortable or even a bit scary, which is why they can be controversial.
The Canny Collar works in a much kinder, more comfortable way. It sits behind the head rather than underneath the chin, so it doesn’t clamp or pull at awkward angles. The nose loop only tightens when the dog actually pulls and releases the second they stop, meaning the dog can still pant, drink and move their mouth normally. Most dogs tolerate it far better because it feels less intrusive, and handlers get that extra bit of control they genuinely need.
For people with limited strength, balance issues or mobility challenges, this design can make walks much safer and more enjoyable. It gives you leverage without relying on force, and without compromising the dog’s welfare.
And we’re really excited to share that we’ve partnered with The Canny Company. Our Online Academy members can now receive an amazing 10% off all their products – not just the collars. As always, the collar is a management tool, not a magic fix, so dogs still need to be trained to wear it gradually and learn loose-lead walking. But when used properly, it’s a really supportive and welfare-friendly option for both dog and owner! Check out our video on the portal of how to introduce, coming soon ❤️
