Q. Is "Alpha Rolling" my dog a good idea?

A. No! Alpha rolling your dog is a terrible idea, and does nothing but instill fear in your dog. It also puts your face very close your dog's teeth, and an angry, frightened dog will most likely bite in this position. There are several, other, better ways to teach your dog who's in charge. Those and more can found at this page.
