Roll Over
This is a fun trick that often makes dogs struggle because they are uncomfortable rolling on their back.
That’s why we will reward along the way: for turning the head, for a quarter turn, for a half turn etc.
You will reach your goal much faster than if you insist that your dog rolls over all the way from the beginning.
Generally, this is an important dog training lesson:
If your dog cannot do a certain behavior:
Do not keep on trying to make them do it.
Instead, split up the behavior into many little bits and reward those – this way you can get them doing the right thing very quickly.
Once your dog understands, you can fade out the intermittent treats.
