It is a simple task to teach a dog how to roll over, just be sure to keep some dog treats handy! The first step is a simple “lay” command. You can put the treat on the floor by their head and then raise it up over to the other side. He’ll follow your hand and roll over completely. Whenever your dog does actually roll over, say “roll over” out loud. Repeating this over time forms a mental association in your dog’s mind that eventually causes him to roll over on command. Do not get mad if it takes several tries. Once they learn this particular trick, they will be popular at the dog park!
Because many people believe puppy training is difficult, they are usually shocked at just how simple this can be. It doesn’t have to be nearly as stressful or time-consuming.
