Dog Trick of the Day

8/5/12

Double-Dog Roll Over:

1. Have each dog lie about three feet apart (allow more space if the dogs are giant breeds).

2. Reinforce each dog for holding the Down/Stay position.

3.Cue the dogs to Roll Over one at a time(reinforce the others for staying until they have been cued) , or give the cue for all the dogs to roll at the same time.

4.Experiment with giving a cue to each dog and then giving one cue to the group and see which version of the trick looks flashier.

5.If you are cueing all the dogs at once, you need only one click for all of them, but treat each dog with him/her own cookie.

6. If you are cueing each dog separately, click and treat that dog before asking the next one to go.

7.Once the dogs are performing reliably, go ahead and verbally label the behavior Everybody Over, or label each individual rollover with the dog's name and the the Roll Over command.

8.You trained your dogs Everybody Roll Over!
