Re: Is it really cruel to perform an 'alpha roll' on your dog?

Or be bitten by the dog..... Funny as it sounds, many dogs simply would not allow that kind of treatment. I guess the esteemed Mexican would then say they are Red Zone... which they certainly are not.... they are just dogs who (understandably) object to such harsh handling.

What then for those who are rolled and bite? PTS? Or an owner who is enlightened enough to then train the dog using much kinder methods.... we hope

I can tell you mine would have your arm off if you tried to roll him... not from aggression but from fear. Thank god he's mine.... and was never homed with anyone who would be so stupid and narrow-minded to try and copy something they saw on TV.
