Roll in front

The dog positions itself in front of a dog or a person and rolls, sometimes kicking its legs and displacing its opponent with them.

VIDEO

large screen
Video footage of a behavioural evaluation. The male Pit Bull turns around the person, glancing at the person filming the evaluation, then drops to the ground and orients his gaze toward the person who is standing next to him holding the leash. As the dog drops to the ground, he knocks into the person with his body, then presses against her and displaces her, kicking with his hind legs. The pit bull uses the wall to gain leverage to move himself and rolls in front of the person, then stands up, shakes off and again stares at the person who is filming him.
