Even though I'm not a trained dog trainer, I do know a simple method that allows me to teach any of my dogs to turn over in just two weeks.
When I call my dog and order her to rollover, she always obeys, much to the amazement of my friends. However, I never fail to reward her for her incredible performance.
When I was a kid, my mom ordered me to teach our Border Collie to rollover, and I remember telling her, "Yeah, right, how do you accomplish something that's so complicated like that?" for the next thirty years.
After being told to "watch me," I did just that in order to gain the knowledge I needed to proceed independently; nonetheless, I was still sceptical that my efforts would be fruitful.

The demonstration was over in a matter of minutes, and then it was my turn to put what I had learned into practise; by the time I was finished, it appeared that our Border Collie had already mastered the material in just the first lesson.
(WOW) After that first day, I knew I had to spend the next two weeks teaching that method at least once a day.
Even though my dog learned quickly and well, I gave up on training after only two weeks since I simply couldn't improve upon the Border Collie's already impressive performance.
Any time you wanted the dog to perform, you could just grab a treat, usually some scraps from the table, and twirl it in a circle while shouting "rollover" to it. My dog would start rolling over repeatedly, but he had to do it at least three times before he got a reward.

The second dog I trained was an Alaskan Spitz named Shasha; she picked up the roller-over trick just as fast as the Border Collie had, which surprised me because I hadn't planned on teaching two dogs at once. Shasha was a beloved pet of ours for almost 20 human years, and we made the most of her long life and impressive knack at rolling over. Read also: Using

My current pet is a female Rat Terrier whom my wife gave the name Starr because she was born with a distinctive star-shaped birthmark on her nose.
We love her despite the fact that we know she has an excess of energy that she never gets to fully burn off because, as you surely know, they are hyper dogs and she does get a bit over away when she wants a treat and sometimes her roll-over turns into a madness dance.
To teach your dog to roll over, simply get down on your knees with a tasty treat in your hands and have him or her sit in front of you, begging for the treat. Read also: Treatment

Keep the reward in your left hand, held high enough that the dog can't reach it, and use your right hand to provide a little, steady pressure on the dog's back, between the neck and the top of the shoulders.
Then, while keeping the left hand just out of the dog's reach, begin painting a pretty large imagined circle around the dog's head. You may drive your poor dog crazy by playing a game of "tease and drop," in which you slowly lower the goodie as the dog pursues it with his head.
The most challenging component of the approach is assisting them in getting on their side and then getting their head to follow the reward in the direction of the roll-over. Although you may have to help them out the first couple of times, you should always give them a reward after that.
It's not as difficult as it seems because canines go to great lengths in pursuit of their favourite treats and aren't afraid to risk injury to catch what they're pursuing. It's worth the time and effort to teach your dog to roll over so that you may impress your friends and neighbours.
