My family and I do this to Aggie when we need her attention and for her to calm down. As a daily routine, we also give her belly rubs.
The thing is, when they're on their backs, they know YOU're the boss, You're the Alpha Dog. Sad thing is, your "grandfather" (I know you don't consider him to be, so I put him in quotation) doesn't listen to any suggestions. If your grandmother is willing to work at it, the dog will take HER seriously, and not her husband.
Dogs are very perceptive of who their "owners" are.
