I think it depends on how you roll the dog over, every thing isn't the alpha roll. My dog training classes teach "relax" or "calm" by sitting down and holding the dog on its back in your lap and talking to them until they calm down and it also teaches trust. That they can trust you not to put them in harms way so they don't mind being in a defenseless position. I think when you pin them down on there back in a mean way, thats an alpha roll.
