Roll-Over

Everyone wants a dog that can do really cool tricks, right? Well, Roll-Over is one cool trick. Usually cool tricks take some practice and a lot of hard work, like getting your dog to play dead or jump through the ring, is a lot harder than getting your dog to sit. The cool thing about the cool Roll-Over trick, is that it is not that hard to do! Here is one of the easiest* ways to do this awesome trick:

Before you do this trick, your dog has to know how to lay/down.** If they do then great! you are ready to start putting the trick into action(but also get some yummy treats***)! First, tell your dog to lay/down(sometimes you have to tell your dog to sit, then lay/down). Reward them with a treat. Push on their side to move them onto their back. This can be very challenging, especially if you have a big dog! Say "Roll-Over", and give them a treat. Over the corse of several to many days, repeat this until you don't have to push their side. This means that they have successfully taught your dog to Roll-Over! Congratulations! This can be a difficult trick to perform.


*I invented this way myself, so to me it is easy.
**If your dog can't lay/down, then you can go to my other post, Lay/Down.
***The treats, if possible should be bite-sized, chewy treats. If they are long, but they are chewy, than you can break off bite-sized pieces and they work just fine.
