How to teach your dog to "Roll Over"
written by Chow Chow Dog Lover

Every dog should be trained to roll over. It's the first thought that comes out of children's mouths when they are introduced to a lovely dog. My daughter does it all of the time. Every morning we go to what is called 'Dog Beach' on the coast where dogs are allowed to run free as their owners are playing with them. “Roll over – Roll over!” is what my six year old tells every dog she sees. It's adorable!

In today's article we will show you a step by step system of teaching your dog to roll over. It's quite simple:

1. Your dog should be placed in the down position as you are kneeling in front of him, without actually hovering over your dog.

2. Now take a treat in one hand and hold it in a way that the dog has to kind of turn its head and look over its shoulder to get to the treat (almost rolling over naturally). This may take some tweaking to find the right position, but I'm sure you get the idea.

3. Now say “Roll Over!” while you slowly circle your dog around its head with the treat close to its sense of smell. With your other free hand, roll your dog over in the direction of the treat. Your dog should then get saturated with praise and affection.

For best results repeat the above 3 steps as many times as you can throughout the day. Eventually the dog will roll over on command but will expect something in return. Instead of treats simply give him extra loving praise to replace the expectation of a treat.
