We do this for about an hour and then she takes them off for a little bit and she is slowly working the amount of time she can shoot right eyed up. Confused the heck right out of me why she was leaned so far over the gun to look through the sites when we first went.
Her being only 8 years old it is something that can be remedied yet with some practice.

I shot competitive skeet for a number of years and I'm right handed and left eye dominant. I would just put a small piece of gift wrapping tape (little smaller than the the diameter of a dime) on the lens left side lens of my glasses. This would let me see with both eyes open. It would just block out the end of my barrel with my left eye and force the right eye to take over. This might help your daughter a little better than totally blocking off the left lens. It will definitely help her judge the distance and speed better. Please don't take this as I'm trying to tell you what to do, just trying to help.
If your interested here are the steps to set it up for her.
Have her mount the gun as if she is getting ready to shoot.
Stand in front of her and site down the barrel as she aims the firearm.
Place the small piece of tape on the lens of her left eye that would cover the end of the barrel.
