My wife has run into situations like this when she has just given the command "Straight" (which means, "take me to the curb"). Sometimes a sighted bystander will see the dog turn (because the curb is to one side or the other), and think that the dog is doing something wrong. Unfortunately, this is just about the worst time to explain the misunderstanding; she's trying to get out of the street. Telling someone "No, she's doing what I told her to do" is about as much as she can get out, but isn't terribly convincing to someone who's already decided that your dog turned when you wanted to go straight ahead.
