"My Lakeland Terrier, Jack, is now 3 years old; for the first two years walking was a nightmare for someone, like myself, who enjoys walking so much.  I tried a leather collar, chain collar and a halti collar but the walking did not improve; I was pulled all over the pavement with Jack out in front of me. It is a wonder I did not have a fall.

I was then introduced to the Canny Collar and for the past 12 months I have really enjoyed my walks with Jack. He walks alongside me not out in front and no pulling. It was so easy to train him with the Canny Collar and not once has Jack ever tried to pull the collar off,  which is confirmation that the collars are a gentle fit. I thoroughly recommend the Canny Collar to all dog owners whether or not they have trouble walking their dogs."

"I have a 34kg Dobermann who used to take me for a walk! She constantly pulled on the lead, making going for a walk a hard task. Since using the "Canny Collar" there has been a huge change. We can also now jog which we could not do before using the collar, as she would just try to run very fast. Now she either walks or jogs by my side."

"We were introduced to the Canny Collar by our centre trainer .It has made walking our dogs a pleasure.We have introduced them to our clients and in particular to those with dogs that were difficult to walk. The owners have given us rave reviews.
We are happy to recommend the Canny Collar to anyone having a difficulty in walking their dogs."

"Thank you for making my daily dog walks a pleasure instead of a nightmare!

We recently acquired a lovely two-year-old Bullmastiff from a rescue home which had been house trained but unfortunately had no obedience training whatsoever. This meant that walking her was such an effort (so much so that I'm sure my arm nearly came off on more than one occasion!), embarrassing and in no way a pleasure. It also crossed my mind that anyone passing me barely controlling a large, powerful dog might be frightened or even complain - possibly resulting in her being 'dealt with'.

Upon getting some advice from the rescue home, the Canny Collar was recommended and I duly took my dog into the shop with me for a fitting (cue utter chaos!). I'm in no way exaggerating when I say that within one minute of using the Canny Collar, Lexi was a different dog. Yes, she didn't really like the strap across her nose (although it was clear it didn't hurt her) and tried to knock it off with her paws, but she was transformed. Whereas she would strain against her choke chain as hard as she could, criss-cross in front of me (highly annoying) and generally run amok, now she trots alongside me and doesn't even bother even trying to go off and explore.

I now just let the lead handle rest in my fingers, instead of having to make sure it was looped around my wrist in case she pulled out of my grip. I'm so grateful and will thoroughly recommend the Canny Collar to anyone.

Many thanks!"

"Just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how impressed we are with the Canny Collar we bought yesterday at Crufts. We have two dogs, a six-year-old collie cross and a 10-month-old 60kg (yes really!!) Newfoundland. Usually my fiancé walks the Newfie and I walk the collie, due to me being 'vertically challenged' and her weight being nearly as much as me. However recently he got a back injury which meant he has been unable to walk the Newfie. Because of her strength, I have also been unable to walk the dogs often so they have not had their regular walks while my fiancé has been recovering.

We bought our Canny Collar and decided to try it out this afternoon. Within five minutes I was able to walk our Newfie down the street without being pulled off my feet! My fiancé also walked her for a while and was fine even with his bad back. We got back from our walk without feeling as if we had run a marathon!

I have never contacted a company after buying anything before but we were so impressed that we had to tell you how pleased we are and how this is going to make a difference to our lives with our giant puppy!"

"I purchased a Canny Collar from you for my 8 year old staffie lab cross and just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful product. I have tried every other means possible to stop her from pulling on the lead and nothing ever worked. The new collar arrived this morning and I put it on her to take her for a walk and for the first time in 8 years we actually had a walk instead of my being pulled the whole way. My 10 year old daughter has never been able to walk Pippa as it wasn't safe for her to do so as Pippa would drag her to wherever she chose to go and my daughter wasn't strong enough to stop her. My daughter was able to walk Pippa this morning and had her walking to heel. It was a wonderful sight to see.

Once again, thank you so much for this wonderful product. From this moment on it will be a pleasure to be able to take Pippa on walks and I won't come back aching from straining to hold on to her."

George Coyle, Helensburgh, Scotland

"Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I must admit I ordered a collar straight away but I thought it might be too good to be true, especially as I have tried the 'Halti' type collar on previous pets. I have given up after first five minutes, normally because they still pulled and the strap looked like it was cutting into their eyes.

However, with the Canny Collar, 'Troy' is tamed ( Troy is a 3 year old Akita). He didn't need telling twice and is now a different dog to walk - even the kids can walk him and feel confident doing it as well. We have had the collar now for about three days and can't stop recommending it to friends and family alike. So from a delighted customer who's shoulder, chest take a beating no more - thanks!"

"My Canny Collar arrived today, very speedy service I might add and I have a new dog! I took George my hyperactive rescue greyhound crossbreed for a WALK. Yes a WALK, not a drag, not a battle, not a race, but a controlled steady heeled walk! I have arthritis in my hands and have had many products to help me, but this one is the best I have purchased by far, well worth every penny!

I am totally amazed at your product and did not even believe the videos on your website until I actually walked my dog tonight. Truly amazing, THANK YOU so much, I will be telling all my friends!"

"We have a 2 year old rescue dog, Prince. He looks just like one of the dogs on your website video. He has always been a handful on the lead and is so strong I am unable to actually hold him on a walk. We have tried a halti, gentle leader and even a spray collar to stop him pulling but all to no avail. We received our Canny Collar on Wednesday and the transformation is a miracle. My husband and I are very pleased with the result and I can now actually hold the lead on a walk and remain upright! My friend who has an unruly Great Dane is now also sending for a Canny Collar because of my recommendation. Here is a photo of Prince, my handsome boy. Thanks again."

Jean Law, Sheba & Smokie, Plymouth, Devon, UK

"It has been a great couple of months since I bought my Canny Collars and now walking is so much easier with two dogs - no more tugging!

Sheba who is 18 months was the puller and Smokie who is six was so hard to restrain without hurting your hands and I used to have the leads wrapped round to hold him back. Someone recommended the Canny Collar and this has been the best £30 I have ever spent!!

They both sit and let me put the collar and lead on and walking is brilliant! I can walk both dogs using only one hand and just a slight jerk with one finger can bring them back to my side so much better. But now they don't even pull that often so it's not necessary.

I have severe tennis elbow and walking used to give me pain but now I can use one hand to control them and have slack leads in the other hand. A tremendous difference! Thank you!"

Mrs Karen Crockford, London, UK

"Just wanted to contact you to say how fantastic your Canny Collar is!

I had tried absolutely everything on my now 9 months old cocker spaniel - Halti, harness, Gentle Leader and the stop and wait method. She has pulled ever since she started going out for walks at around 12 weeks old!

I have finally been able to have a normal, pleasurable walk with her. She did resist a little to it but now she walks like a dream. Being a gundog, all she wanted to do was sniff, pull, sniff, pull, sniff, pull. She can still sniff but she doesn't pull. In fact she waits until she gets to the park for a good sniff now when she is off leash. I have recommended this collar to others and keep going on about it but it's made me so much more relaxed out on our walks. Thank you for inventing it!"

John Cowan, Douglas, Isle of Man, UK

"We have an 11 month old yellow Lab bitch who is a delight to be with except when she's on a lead. She's passed her obedience classes with flying colours (and starts more advanced classes next month) but nothing we do has persuaded her not to pull. As for a Halti...forget it...walks on the lead became ten times worse!!!

I was in the pet shop last week buying a harness in the hope that one might help and I happened to mention to the proprietor about the problem. He immediately produced a Canny Collar and suggested that I try it out. He'd only just got a few in to try them out after a request from another customer so he wasn't able to give any feedback on success rates.

I was prepared to try anything, though I didn't hold out much hope that the Canny would be any more successful that the Halti. How wrong I was! It was easy to put on and Katie took to it virtually immediately. To walk with a loose lead was virtually unheard of until last week and my wife and other members of the family have now been taking her out for extra walks without fear of being pulled over, so both dog and family have benefited.

I am the world's most cynical person when it comes to reading testimonials on websites or in advertising literature, but I have to say that everything that I have seen on yours is absolutely true so far as my experience is concerned. A fantastic product which has taken a worry out of our lives."
