Tips on How to Teach a Dog to Roll Over?

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to teach my dog to roll over, but we’re not quite getting it. Anyone have any tips or tricks that worked for them? I’d love to hear your training techniques and any advice to make it fun for my pup!

Hello :smile:, To teach a dog to roll over, start with your dog in a down position. Gently guide them onto their side with a treat, then encourage them to complete the roll. Use positive reinforcement and practice regularly for best results.

I taught my dog by having her lie down and then gently guiding her onto her back, rewarding her for her progress. After a few attempts, I finally grasped the concept, well, sort of. I have trouble going from a drop to my belly, so I’ll go from a standing position and slowly tip myself over using my back legs, which is far more entertaining.
