How'd you train your dog to play dead?

Well, first, he learned sit, stay, down, and then roll over. So then in a room without distractions, you have some small treats like liver or milkbones, and you say in a 'command voice' (deep and slightly gruff, make it sound like a bark) you do the hand signal and say bang. Then after he hears the command, you make him lay down and roll on his back, making him stay like that for several moments. Then you just repeat the same thing, giving the order and then putting him in the 'dead' position, giving him treats to emphazise that he's doing it right. He eventually makes the connection that "bang" means roll onto your back and stay that way. He's really clever, and got it on the first day!

Wow that's amazing, I suppose you just need to make him do it. What a smart dog too.

We've got four dogs, a whole bunch of cats, and some fish, among many animals (squirrels, snakes, deer, etc.) I've never even seen in our backyard.
