Well in a basic 3 beat canter the legs move in this basic way. The right hind leg pushes the horse forward and the other three legs are suspended for a moment then the left rear and right fore legs land while the right hind is still on the ground, finally the left foreleg lands on the ground and the other three legs are pulled up under the horse.

first of all you need to establish the basic stand-walk-trot-canter.

When he feels like he's really working and coming off your leg and listening, and feels like if you ask him to do something he will do it straight away, then when you get to a corner or a long side give the command you have taught your horse that means canter, (using voice helps) then push him forwards into canter. If it doesnt work and he simply trots, ask him for canter imediatly. repeat this, if it is still not working, then your horse is not listening to you, or you may need to re-teach him the command for canter.
