We've used it every time since we've had it (about 4 months) and he tries to rub his face in our crotches, on the concrete, pretty much anything to try and get it off, even when he's on the lead - all in all a joyous walking event really
I've heard great things about the canny collar but I guess Fern's that one in a million dog where it just didn't work for him - but then that's no surprise when it comes to Fern really
Good luck with you research, hope you get a solution
Fern and Takoda = Snap!
We haven't tried the Canny collar but have the 'dogmatic' head collar...It's been 4 months and we have used it every single walk and Takoda is still shoving his head in bushes, scraping his nose along the floor and he is getting worse not better on his head collar
I decided to stop using it because I think with Takoda's personality he will never accept it. Where as my girl, Keena is like a dream with hers on...She still rubs her face when you stop to long but from day 1 she has walked lovely with it on.
I think I've hung in their long enough with Takoda wearing his headcollar and with most dogs they will get used to it and it is just about perseverance but at the same time you have to know your dog and what is working for him / her and what isn't.
Ceiron, people will recommend all kinds of different things that worked for them, but all dogs are individuals and what worked for one dog may be crap for you and your dog.
I don't use harness's for walking on my dogs now they are full grown because they can pull to hard wearing them, even the ones that say they help with pulling I feel they would still be able to pull because of their size. For BC's etc probably fine as they are quite light dogs, but dogs bigger than that they probably wont be so good for.
