Our dog trainer neighbor told us about the left hand too, but I've forgotten the reason for it. You will have to explain that when you have time.

I completely agree with the safety issue when it comes to random strangers. Meant to be more specific that I was thinking safe places like the vet or a pet store where they give treats.
