Introduction
Your Pit Bull puppy can sit. She can lay down. She comes on command and can stay put for ages. What else is there for your smart little cookie to learn? Teaching your Pit Bull puppy to roll over is another way to harness her energy. It is also a great way to have fun with your puppy.
Defining Tasks
'Roll over' is easier for some puppies than others. If your pup tends to be more dominant, she may struggle with this trick. However, with some patience and good motivators, your Pit Bull puppy will be rolling over in no time. Before your Pit can learn to roll over though, she needs to know how to sit and lie down on command. Many puppies get the wiggles when stuck lying down for too long, so make sure to practice with your Pit Bull and make sure she can stay put for long enough to learn to roll over.
Getting Started
Some puppies will learn this trick fairly quickly, while others may need a bit more patience from you. In the beginning, choose a quiet, distraction-free area of your house so your Pitbull puppy can focus her full attention on you. It is a good idea to practice on a soft surface, as your pup may resist lying down if the floor is cold or hard. You will also need some special treats that your puppy only gets during training sessions.
