[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks OP! I'd add keep your dog on your right hand side. That way opposing "traffic" or people passing you don't get close to your dog, and if they do, you're in the middle.

The whole "train your dogs on your left thing" is likely leftover from the British hound training. Doesn't apply to busy pedestrian areas in America.

Makes sense. Thank you![/quote]

Yes! I walk my dogs on the right, too. The left side never made sense to me in an urban setting especially.[/quote]

Which is fine, but be aware that people who are familiar with dog training convention will expect dogs to heel to the left, so plan accordingly when hiring a dog walker or approaching other people walking their dogs[/quote]

My dogs all heel and walk on my left.   Do you also mount your horse from the right??[/quote]

Dogs on the left makes zero sense - it's an antiquated and nonsensical training tool. Do you live in the UK?
