rally question

I use "heel" for a left finish and "around" for a right finish. I also point with my hands. Bailey tends to pick up hand signals faster than verbal signals.
 
I used "heel" for the left finish and "around" for the right.

Rachel uses "swing" for the left finish. I know people who use close, get in, and get back for the left finish. Almost everyone I know uses around for the right.
 
We use "around" for a right finish and "finish" for left.

Our trainer does "by me" for a left finish and "finish" for a right finish.

It gets confusing for us :lol:

Those that do Rally what word do you use when you want them to heal left?

my first thought is do you just mean walking at your left side?
that is 'heel'

if you mean a return to your left side from another position- that would depend.
we've been using 'place' for a left finish and 'around' for a right finish.

if you mean a left turn- we don't usually use a word.
 
I use heel to put mine in a moving heel position, but if it's a finish I use finish. It depends on which way I want them to go for visual commands. I tend to use visual commands instead of verbal since dogs are visual creatures. I've also found that visual commands(hand signals) override verbal commands almost every time.
