Instructions
Find a soft surface, such as grass or carpet. It is easiest for your dog to roll over on a soft surface.
Make your dog lie down on its side, and if it knows how, have it play dead.
Kneel beside your dog. Position one hand on its lower front leg and the other on its lower hind leg.
Roll your dog over from the side it is lying on to the other side while commanding it to roll over.
Reward the dog with a treat and enthusiastic praise after it rolls over.
Place the dog in the dead dog position. Hold a treat in front of your dog's nose and make a sweeping motion in the direction it should roll and command it to roll over.
Repeat this process until your dog will readily roll over on its own.
