Good Karma, I love your avatar with the muppet Rosa. (I cannot believe she pulls you around, little angel.)

I'm pretty sure they're making that up.

Because you're right, she's a little angel.

Are you talking about alpha roll or alpha role?? One is a verb and one is a noun.

Um, no.

Well, I think it's been renamed the raspberry roll. I believe the term for what I was thinking it was, is Alpha Roll.

That is absolutely incorrect. There is no way that NILIF is dangerous under any circumstances. If anything, an aggressive or dominant dog needs NILIF more than any other. Rather than trying to physically overpower the dog you teach them that in order to get anything they want they must do what YOU want first. You control all the valuable resources. How can that possibly be dangerous?

Rosa suffers from extreme enthusiasm! Well, she's not suffering. She's the happiest dog I've ever met!

P.S. I tried giving her a raspberry roll for fun. I got massive kisses in return. Think she liked it!

Anyone who thinks that the leader of the pack forcibly rolls fellow pack members onto their backs to assert his dominance shows a fundamental lack of understanding of pack behavior. Submissive behavior is offered up by lower ranking pack members, not forced on them by the alpha. He does not have to go around asserting his status constantly, it's understood and respected. If not, he's not going to be the pack leader for long...

That's why NILIF is so great - dogs who practice deference behaviors on a regular basis become deferent, so encouraging your dog to routinely offer deference behaviors in the form of NILIF is a very good way to reinforce your leadership status.

If it came down to a physical battle I'm pretty sure that most of us could be easily overpowered by our dogs who may be half our size or less, but who are more than twice as strong and have much bigger teeth.

And yeah, pretty darned dangerous with an aggressive dog!

I'm glad she enjoyed it! A silly game but they seem to get a blast out of it. At least Lycan does, anyway.
