The reason i ask is because i think i saw one time that if your dog walks in front of u they will think they are in charge is this true or does it really matter?

I forgot to mention that if you are training your dog to enter a formal cd class by akc or ckc your dog has to be trained to walk on your left side , unless in special circumstances. If not training for anything specific, the choice is yours, although out here we still train by the ckc in formal classes....dogs at heel on left side.
