AM track with right turn focus; S5W30F15 except on right turn added extra food
I've noticed that just like Duck she is better at one turn direction than the other. Right seems weaker than left. She finds left direct on the turn point. The right turns she glances right but continues forward. This morning, focus on weaker right. With the extra food near the turn, (added food with 2 steps between) after scuffing, she didn't go forward very far. River only went about a yard forward before coursing around into the right turn. As she courses right, am I allowed to back up or do I have to wait until she's coming back to me? I probably should have asked this long ago on Duck's blog. She showed the same behavior on each of the right turns. I do think it's very interesting how she always picks up head, glances to the right turn, again, just as I'm seeing Duck do this year.
Plan- another track this after noon with left turn focus and per my instructor's, Judi's suggestion I will add the fetch ball 10 yards away from the end article to inspire enthusiasm in River.
