Dog heels on right side instead of left.

[mrmagoo1]

I'm teaching my corgi how to heel but she always walks on my right side no matter how much I coax or correct her. Is there any way to get the dog to walk on my left side? Thanks.

You can carry a treat or a toy on the left side and any time she steps onto your left side reward with it.

Also, unless you are going to compete in obedience, there's no reason she needs to heel on the left. I do however like for dogs to be comfortable walking on either side of me, but I don't ask for heeling on both sides.

I like to just reward whenever she's on the correct side - walking through the house or yard, if she happens to go to that side, you can (click if you're doing clicker training) give a treat.

Or just stick to the right side, as Corgi said, that's fine too.

I have Ronan trained to heel on my right side. I usually walk the two dogs together so one is on my left the other is on my right. He gets finicky if he is on my left side so it is something we are working on. But I really dont care if he never heels on my left side as we dont plan on obedience competitions anyway LOL

I agree with others, nothing wrong with walking on your right side. My dog does the same :)
