How would you go about teaching your dog to roll up in a blanket. I've tried getting my dog Missy a border collie mix to learn this but I don't know how to get her to hold the blanket in her mouth.
I used a sock to help with teaching to roll in the blanket. Firstly you have to get them interested in playing with the sock - you could initially put a ball inside or even some treats or tease a bit and throw it - reward for them bringing it to you. I also worked on lying on the blanket and rolling over as a seperate stage. Once they are happy to play with the sock and roll over on the blanket separately - you could tie it to the corner of the blanket. This worked for me. I then removed the sock and just folded the cover of the blanket over so he had something to aim for to pick up before rolling...How would you go about teaching your dog to roll up in a blanket.

I like this idea. I am also at some point going to teach my Missy how to do this. I am going to give this idea a go!I used a sock to help with teaching to roll in the blanket.
