With the right encouragement, most dogs can learn to roll over pretty quickly. First, make sure the dog is in a laying position. Hold a treat between your forefingers near the left side of your dog’s head, and then slowly pass the treat in front of his face and to the opposite side. He will probably follow the treat, rolling side to side as it moves. Be sure to say ROLL OVER as your dog is rolling. Eventually, he will learn to perform the trick upon command. Don’t get frustrated if it takes a few tries, once he learns this trick he’ll be the star of the dog park!

Training Sessions

TIP! Always be patient when you train your dog. This will reduce anger, stress and tension when you train your dog.
