Right or left side?
What side does your dog work from? This is purely for curiosity's sake.I have always had mine work from the left, but I am curious about others. Does it matter? I actually had someone mention that lefties should have their dogs on their right so they weren't right next to the gun in a blind, but as I'm not such a big hunter, it really doesn't matter to me at all. What do you prefer?

I don't wear black because it makes me look slim, I wear black because it hides the dog hair.
both.I do 2 sided heeling......has an advantage sometimes..

In obedience competition the dog always has to be on the left. That is how I was trained to train so that is where my dogs heel! I know for retrievers they can heel either side.

There is a nice article about it in Retrievers Online, Sept-Oct 2008.
The only mystery in life is why the kamikaze pilots wore helmets.
I always had them on the left, since that is the traditional side. New pup works on both--every once and a while it makes enough difference that it is worth training them to heel 2 sided.
Left side...I shoot right-handed, so I want her on the opposite side. Consequently I've done all of her training with her on my left.
2 sided heeling is the way to go....

Both sides. Helped my dog in more than a few tests, it's always nice to have the option.

Since I will do a combination of testing and or hunting (where remote sit might be required), I trained the latest one to be two sided.
It's really very simple if you start out to do it that way in the first place so I took the extra little step.
