The next step in the dog roll over trick is going to be to have your dog lay down. To
review the steps, we've talked about baiting your dog, getting them excited to do a trick,
moving your hand to keep attention, the next step will be dog down. When your dog is down,
they are definitely preempting that something is going to be coming. So, when we link all
the steps together, the sequence will stay in your dog's mind. So once your dog learns
the roll over, you're simply just going to have to issue the command roll over. Until
that happens, it's important to follow the sequential steps so the dog understands what
you're actually asking of them. So once again, bait your dog, get them excited, keep their
attention with the movement, dog down, and hold.
