Outcome: Dog Learns to Roll Over
This is a cute trick that your dog can show off to your friends. You will need plenty of treats and a clicker to teach your dog to roll over. Remember to be consistent when training your dog and ensure that you have good timing when clicking and rewarding.
Step 1:
Have a treat in your hand and put it to your dog’s nose, then lure your dog into a down and treat.
Step 2:
With a treat to the dog’s nose, lure your dog so they lift head and shift their weight to the side. Give treat.
Step 3:
Lure the dog’s head further over and treat.
Step 4:
Keep luring the dog over with the treat, once they have rolled onto their other side, treat, but make sure you toss the treat a little away from them so they have to fully roll over to get it.
Step 5:
Keep practising and reducing how many treats you give, eventually your dog will do the movement in one motion and you can add the verbal command ‘roll over’
Note: This trick may take a long time, but keep practicing and use high value treats for the best results. If your dog prefers to learn with a toy – listen to your dog.
