My girl, who has her CDX, has just started changing sides in the figure of 8 (handler inside and dog outside) and at some right about turns. In the figure of 8 she is now starting to lag at the midway point, goes around the post on the inside of me and comes on my right hand side. She is also doing this in right about turns. It has only started since I put her back into Rally (advanced level). Previously, she has been a forger but I have never done anything about this figuring it would correct itself in time. I have NOT started teaching her the Rally masters station of changing heeling sides. if I have her on lead or have food with me she is fine but without these cues she reverts very quickly. She seems to know the heel position well and has never tried to heel on the RHS before. Have been doing static work and on lead but the problem seems to be getting worse.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas as to cause or a fix?
