How to train a dog to roll over

First, train the dog to learn the sitting and lying down actions. After the dog lies down, grasp its two front legs and turn it onto its back. If the dog resist, the owner can use treats to安抚 it. With its belly up, give it a command to stay still. If it can stay still, give it a reward. Then continue to turn it over to the lying down position and reward it. When the dog becomes accustomed to being manually turned over, you can strengthen the training to form a conditioned reflex, gradually removing the manual turning step and using commands for the dog to roll over on its own.
