Canny Collar
http://www.cannyco.co.uk/home.html
My local obedience club is selling Canny Collars at cost for $17 and so I decided to buy one for my 70 lb rescue dog who is a puller. The Canny Collar is a UK product that is just making its way into the US. Amazon sells it for $29.95 the last time I checked. Below is a stock photo of the product on a dog:
Sizing is very important since this is based on a buckle collar. When measuring below the jaw, the tape measure should be snug. I thought I had a size too small based on my loose measurement, but once on the dog, I had to cinch the collar several holes tighter.
I only had it for an hour and so far I like it better than the Gentle Leader for walks. My dog would steadily pull on a Gentle Leader with his head twisted and so this is much safer for him. He seems to get it that even pressure from both sides of the head means slow/stop.
Can't wait to try it out during the daytime on a full walk.

nvm, just re-measured him and it's a 35.5 ish.
Because the tension isn't from the side like it is with the Gentle Leader, it doesn't shift and dig into the sensitive skin below the eye. It stays on the top of the snout.
I have the same question as Shibamistress, how badly does a dog try to scratch it off? also How easy is it to get off? Is it best used for a dog with a blocky head rather than a fox faced escape artist?
