Top 10 Most Popular Dog Tricks (Planet Dog's Doglopedia)
My vet said not to teach a dog to roll-over (and the dog training people agreed) because a dog's stomach can flip too. A dog's stomach is a lot more delicately suspended than a human's stomach. If it flips, the dog requires immediate emergency surgery to fix it. And once it flips once, it will flip again. So save yourself some upset and some vet bills by forgetting about rolling-over.

ReplyDeleteThanks Nothy, I did hear that as well. The thought of it makes me cringe. It definitely does not seem like a cute trick any more. Regards
