How to teach your dog how to roll over
Step1
You use you can use a toy or Treat and you just simply lure them onto their side. using Treat is the best option. make sure your dog is in a comfortable down position. if not, get the treat right to the dog's nose and bring him into a down position. at this point, you can give the treat. Let your dog have the treat. Then move to the next step.
Step2
now you want to roll him over on his side. Do the same step again by taking the treat and putting right on his nose and lifting his head. so that his weight shifts onto his side from there. we're going to take a third treat and we are going to war his head around onto his side. the side that's facing up and if you more slowly enough. he'll start to roll over at that point.
Step3
Then wrap his head around to aside. so its weight shifts over and the trick here is to get the treat out away from him. so that he has to roll all the way over to retrieve the treat. that is rollover.
You can use a marker word while doing this training. such as "yes " Good job " you need to keep saying the marker word in every small step your dog is doing with a treat.
You have to do that over and over a long period of time like several days and weeks and after they get really comfortable with the motion then you start adding the command rollover or whatever you want.
