Canny collars are good, they're pretty good for retraining rather than just as a cop out xx

sorry meant to say - who cares if people say its a cop out? if you and your dog are happy its nowt to do with them!

yeah it lifts the front legs - its all padded its so the dog cant move further forward, so they stop pulling kind of like turning round and walking the other way except not having to do that if you know what i mean.......

it depends, go to a pet store and try a canny collar on and a harness, oscar may hate having a canny collar on, in which case it would have been a wast of money...likewise with the harness.....
