well, the biggest and most obvious reason is that dog loves humans. it doesnt matter if you are the dog's owner or not. They still know that for the most part, they are safe with humans. So, they walk on the left side to prtect you from the cars (if you are walking on a sidewalk). They want to be the first one to be hit if a car is about to hit you. dogs are sweet, i know

Do dogs walk to one side?

When I was training my dog, I was always told that you should train them to walk on the right side of the sidewalk. Even then, I always see owners walking their dog on the left side of the sidewalk. I do not think they walk on one side unless they were trained to do so or if the owner is taking up the other half of the walkway. I hope this is what you meant, otherwise, I'm sorry I don't have that answer.

If your dog is coming into labor, you should not stress it. This means that if the dog appears to be asking for a walk then it is fine to take it for a short one, however, if the dog seems reluctant to go for a walk you should not force it. A dog will want to find a private, quiet place to have her puppies and you should try and provide this for her and try not to disturb her.
