[nagdu] Staying on the left

[A.J. LaPointe]

Hi, Fidelco calls this country travel...  I was taught to walkso the dog is 
on the side of the curb, grass line ect and check every so many feet such as 
10 then check with your right foot to make sure your by the edge... If not, 
have the dog go to the edge.. Continue another 10 feet and repeat. 
Eventually after doing this often, your dog will know what you want him to 
do.  I do this at least 3 times a week like I do traffic checks..  Just be 
patient and practice..  Best of luck.. Andy and Shubert

You have to concentrate, checking with your right foot or a folding cane to 
make sure you are there and then keep telling him left, or whatever you were 
taught. You walk a few paces and then you can tell the dog left/left and 
check with your right foot.
