Tibby's Tricky Tuesday! & Happy Birthday Owner Girl!

Hello my friends!
Before we get to the super pawsome trick I know, I wanted to tell you that it's Owner Girl's Birthday today!
To celebrate I wrote her a little poem.

Happy Birthday Owner Girl!
You found me on the internets,
you came and got me in your car,
you took me to a store for pets,
you bought me lots and raised the bar!

You take me outside to go potty,
you give me coats so I don't get sicks,
you love me even when I'm naughty,
you teach me lots of real cool tricks!

You're the best owner I ever knew!
Happy Birthday Owner Girl, I love you!

Okay, now for today's trick!

ROLL OVER

Here's what your owner should do:

1. Always remember the yummy, super duper, delicious, fantabulous treats!

2. Have your dog lay down.
3. With a treat move your hand past your dogs nose towards her butt. If your dog follows the treat move your hand over her back just behind her shoulders.

4. If your dog starts to turn on her side to watch the treat, that's great! If she just turns her head the other way you can try coaxing her to roll onto her side by pushing gently on her back.

5. Once your dog is laying on her side lure or coax her to roll onto her back and eventually all the way back to a lay down position.

6. Keep practicing, phasing out the hand movements and coaxing. Once your dog is rolling over without any assistance you can start to phase out the treats.

7. Some dogs really don't like to roll onto their backs because it makes them feel scared. If your dog is really apprehensive, don't push her into it. You want training to be fun for your dog not scary! There are many other methods and professionals that can help find the best way for your dog!

Happy rolling everyone! Fair warning for owners: if your dog likes his belly scratched this should be an easy one, but he'll also expect more frequent belly scratches after learning this totally pawsome trick!
