Gently roll him over onto his back. Hold him there with one hand on his chest for a full 30 seconds. A normal puppy will resist you at first but then accept it. A dominant dog will struggle for the entire time. A submissive puppy won&#8217;t resist and might lick your hand. An independent dog will resist and avoid eye contact. That determines how the puppy accepts stress when socially and\/or physically dominated.<\/em><br>(then the AIG sales pitch on how pets can add 7 years to your life)<br>Just found the article interesting for those who may be looking for a puppy in the near future.
