Because she's already had several owners, there really is no telling what she learned or where, which makes our training sessions pretty interesting.

We'll be walking and while Beth does a fairly good, loose heel, she will sometimes drift off a bit. I began to notice that when I snap the leash to bring her in, she'll often cross, then go around me to resume the proper heel position. I have been trying to correct her, but it is stuck in her head.

She does this most when she gets a bit ahead of me. Do you suppose someone has taught her at some point to 'come around'?
