When I turned 16 I became a working student at North Wayne Stables in Wayne IL. At North Wayne I learned how to take care of the horses and the farm. My love of Dressage also developed during this time. At 18 I started teaching lessons at Deer Grove Horse Center in Palatine and within a year I was managing the farm. It was an amazing time. I first starting riding horses when I was 9 years old. I went to Driscoll Catholic High School and then got a Business degree from Elmhurst College. If you have any questions or concerns, you should always visit or call your veterinarian - they are your best resource to ensure the health and well-being of your pets.Hi! I am Meg Ryan owner of Second Chance Pet Sitting. I grew up in Addison in a large family with lots of pets. That could very well be the last you ever hear of me. I hope I’m never stupid enough to try a ninja move on my wife. And guys, if you want to stay with your lovely spouses as long as I have, keep rolling over. The next time you see a dog rollover, remain vigilant. As soon as Hans relaxes, Harry springs up and delivers a nip! I was so proud. Poor Hans looks down on his little buddy, fearing the worst. Harry acts “broken” and collapses on his side. At around the 30-second mark you’ll spot exactly what I’m guessing those researchers picked up on. My terrier, Harry, was playing with his much-larger buddy, Hans the Boxer. It wasn’t until October 2013 that I captured the underhand rollover ninja attack move on video. I’ve been pounced on innumerable times by a prostrate pooch. Growing up and wrestling with dogs, I suspected the rollover was a way to lure me into relaxing for a moment and putting my guard down.

On super slow motion review, most rollovers were a way to avoid bites to the neck or a wily attack launch. This led the scientists to speculate that rollovers were a part of a more complex play process or simply a sneaky skirmish stratagem (alliteration again…sorry).
So what causes a rollover? Rollovers occurred more frequently the longer two dogs played together in this study. Smaller dogs didn’t stay in a rollover position longer than bigger dogs.Smaller dogs weren’t found to rollover more frequently.In other words, big dog-little dog interactions had the same frequency of rollovers as big:big or little:little. The size differential between dogs did not influence rollover frequency.They observed a few interesting findings: Researchers wanted to scientifically establish if the rollover move was a submissive signal or a combat maneuver. I’ll save you a trip to the dictionary and remind you that a dyad is a group of two. I think.Īccording to Kerri Norman, and the other authors of the study, domestic doggie dyads were secretly filmed while engaged in play. After analyzing countless hours of videos, the researchers concluded that rolling over was actually a very slick combat tactic. Leave it to modern researchers to question this age-old wisdom and threaten to turn the canine behavioral world upside down, not to mention threaten countless relationships, including mine. These are commonly thought of as submissive postures or signals. I remember when I first met my wife I hit the ground groveling and have remained there for almost 30 years. Most of you have heard that a dog rolling over on its back is indicating, “I give up.” Many have witnessed two dogs meeting for the first time and one of the two instantly drops to the ground, belly up. What may be caninedom’s greatest secret is out: Rolling over is the new ninja. Based on a new study published in the journal “Behavioral Processes,” our dogs may have been following Sun Tzu’s advice when it comes to rolling over. At least four behavioral researchers disagree. “Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.” Those words were written over 2,000 years ago by Sun Tzu in “The Art of War.” Like most veterinarians, I was taught that whenever dogs rolled over, they were being submissive.
