[NAGDU] leading your dog on the opposite side

[Shannon Cook]

I have only heard of one instance where this was done permanently. The
handler lost their left arm. The dog had to be trained to work on the right.
It ended up working out, but The training was unusual for handler and
trainers.

Subject: [NAGDU] leading your dog on the opposite side

hi,
Just out of curiosity, I know that traditionally when walking with a guide
dog the dog is on your left and you hold the harness with your left hand
leaving your right hand free? But are there times when you may have to go on
the opposite side and have your dog briefly guide you as the dog is on your
right, instead of left, or the opposite side?

Josh
