In this training session, Carbon is developing confidence and precision on her right side heel position while reinforcing her obedience commands. Many dogs become comfortable working on the left side but struggle with coordination and understanding on the right. By focusing on right side heel work, switch commands, and flip commands, we're helping Carbon build better positional awareness, smoother transitions, and stronger overall obedience.
