Is there an easy way to teach a golden retreiver roll over?

Answer 1

Basic commands not only teach helpful skills, they reinforce your role as your dog's leader. Using treats to lure your dog into the correct position or place, and then to reward her for obeying, is one of the easiest and most dog-friendly methods.

Have your pup lie down. Then take a treat and wave it in front of his nose until you have his full attention. Move the treat down the dog's body toward his front legs, then over his body toward his back. Move slowly enough for his nose to follow the treat. As your pup rolls over onto his side and back, keep moving the food lure so that he rolls completely over into the down position once more.

See the links below for more information.

Answer 2

Make it lay down on its side. Tuck a treat under its side, but make sure that you can still see it, but that it's still tucked under the dog. (Be sure that you don't tuck the treat under the dog's stomach, because the dog will be able to just wiggle and get the treat.) Make sure that the dog knows that you just tucked a treat under it. When the dog starts to roll over, stop it, then three seconds afterward, tell the dog to roll over. Do that a few times and your dog will be rolling all over the place.

Answer 3

You take a treat, and get them to lay on there side or on there stomach, then you hold the treat just out of reach so they can sniff at it but not take, then you slowly move it so they have to twist there head over slightly to get it eventually they will roll over when they do, say roll over and reward them with the treat soon they will learn to do it on command

Answer 4

ok, this can be really hard for some dogs, one of mine just absolutley will not do it.

But here is how I've trained my other dogs

using a favorite treat (cooked chicken is nice, and not to greasy) tell the dog to lie down (have you taught this yet?)

then bring the treat around so it guides the dogs head to look over its sholder, then move then treat over it's back, it may take a few times before they will even role onto their back but don't give up.

Also alot of dogs will try to stand up, so you may want to keep a hand with light pressure near the dogs sholders to keep it from doing that.

hope fully this made sense, if not tell me and I'll try to re-explain :)

Answer 5

say roll over to him or her, OR you roll over and your dog will do it too.

simple, huh?

Answer 6

You show them by doing it yourself.Just like teaching them to shake paws

Answer 7

You would teach a yorkie like you would teach any other.

Answer 8

Rabbits are not very smart, and are not social. It may not be possible.
