Jordan's Tricks - Roll Over

Roll is one of the first tricks I learned. They taught it at the basic puppy training at Petsmart. The way to teach this trick is to first have your dog lay down and use a treat to lead the dog's head. Once their head starts to follow the treat, their body will follow around until they roll. Don't let them get up or adjust their body, just slowly move the treat back to their side and across their body. Don't get discouraged if they don't get it at first, I didn't. It may take a while until they understand what you are trying to get them to do with their body. Once they start to understand the rolling move, you can add the word "roll" and a hand gesture and they will do it all on their own. Here is another video of Matt showing how to move a treat to lead a roll.
