Rover demonstrating PLAY DEAD!
Foreword: This trick is best taught after
Rover has had some exercise and is ready to rest. Rover will need
to know the DOWN command to successfully complete this trick.
Directions: Tell Rover to DOWN and note the side that he
is leaning on. Now gently push him over saying
PLAY DEAD. As he rolls over on his side praise him and give him a
tummy scratch. Repeat this until you don't have to use any pressure
to get him to roll onto his side.
Conclusion:This trick is part of the BANG BANG trick, but
can be used by itself too. Simply say BANG as the command instead
of PLAY DEAD. Because Rover was shot down he must remain still.
Practice this a couple of times making Rover stay in the PLAY
DEAD position, not moving a muscle.
