Thank you so much for posting that!
The Alpha Roll was started by the Monks of New Skete in the 1970's, They have since apologized for it and said that it was only intended to be used by trained professionals in cases of extreme aggression.
It is horrible that it is still being used today. Dogs only roll one another onto their backs to kill them. It is not the same as a dog rolling over on his back voluntarily as a sign of submission. The use of the Alpha Roll has damaged so many dog psyches and made so many dogs aggressive. |
