Hi Iona
I do consider that correction. In my opinion it really does not matter who 
makes the correction action- the end result is the same.
In my case, I developed a cue phrase for Thane because with my limited grip, 
I can't help it if he gets going with too hard of a pull- I lose my grip. I 
can say the words as his pull is getting harder for me to hold onto the 
handle and 9 times out of 10 now, he will correct his gait for me so that I 
don't wind up losing my grip or need to do a backtracking square. I had to 
figure something out that worked for us to limit this occurence.
Thane's gait is not always perfect, but a lot of that happens now if we 
don't get out enough or if I get too enthusiastic in my praise of something 
he did that was so right on.
