1 Fasten the Canny Collar around your dog’s neck, ensuring the buckle is positioned just behind the ears at the back of his neck. The Canny Collar should fit higher up than a conventional collar. A snug fit is essential. It should not be possible to pull it off your dog’s head.

2 Pull each end of the thin slip line behind your dog’s head and attach your lead to both ‘D’ rings at each end.

3 Pull the slip line through the small black or yellow plastic guider at the front of the collar and place over your dog’s snout. With some breeds, it may be easier to do this before attaching the lead. Ensure you leave the plastic guider under your dog’s chin.

4 Now you’re ready for your walk. When walking, your lead should be kept short but loose so you can control your dog quickly and easily. An extendable lead is not recommended for use with the Canny Collar.

5 When your dog pulls on the lead, apply gentle pressure by tightening the lead. Instant release of the pressure occurs when he stops pulling. This pressure and release system is how your dog trains himself to stop pulling. Within a short time, he will be walking happily by your side on a loose lead.

6 Some dogs may resist the first time you put the slip line over their face and try to paw it off. You must continue to walk and lift his head by raising your lead.

7 Instantly release the pressure by lowering your lead when he stops resisting. Once the initial resistance has stopped, release all pressure. Keep walking while giving him vocal praise, then stop and praise him lavishly.

8 When letting your dog off lead, the Canny Collar can be left on him by removing the slip line from his snout and pulling it out fully. Cross the slip line behind his head and drop it either side of his head.
