Detailed explanation-1: -Here’s how operant conditioning can help you train a dog to roll over: Start by telling your dog to lie down. If your dog doesn’t know this command yet, you should start with the “down” command. Kneel next to your dog and hold a treat by their nose, then move that treat over toward their shoulder.

Detailed explanation-2: -This behavior is not hardwired into the dog’s DNA; it is learned behavior, or a conditioned response (usually barking) to a conditioned stimulus (doorbell or knock). The dog learns through repeated exposure that when the doorbell rings, you jump up and open the door to reveal a person on the other side.

Detailed explanation-3: -"To teach ‘roll over’, first ask your dog to lie down. Next, put a treat near their nose, then slowly move the treat to the side of their head, then towards their shoulder to encourage them to lie on their side, praising and giving them the reward when they do. Practice this lots before moving on."

Detailed explanation-4: -Dogs roll on their back when they are happy because it feels nice, to get attention or belly rubs, to show respect and trust, as well as out of submissiveness or fear. In most cases, it is nothing to worry about and is both completely natural and normal.

Detailed explanation-5: -Your dog will roll onto their back when they are seeking your attention or approval. They are happiest when you are giving them attention and they will relax when you give them a quick tummy rub or spend time with them.
