[nagdu] Sharp Right turns?

[Daryl Marie]

No worries... I didn't clarify it well. LOL
I guess it's more of an "I just noticed this!"  If she's going to take a turn sharply, 90% of the time it's going to be a right-hand turn. Not sure why, but there ya go.

I actually noticed it first on a walk around the block we took where it's all right turns, and on that particular walk she took 3/5 of them sharply.  So we went back around the block to work on it, and she only took the last one sharply.
Then on our walk to work this morning, we had both left and right turns, and the left turns were fine, but she sped up slightly on right.
But on our lunch break, she took all the right turns at a good pace.

I love my inconsistent dog!

Daryl and Jenny

O.o, sorry.  i thought she was doing it consistently.  my mistake.  
you might still try carrying the leash when making rights for a while and, do the drop the harness trick.  this way she will figure out that she’s not getting anywhere any faster.  lol.
