Hi Shanna...i wouldn't do it on the floor where he wouldn't feel safe...I posted "in your arms". Waggin' Tails in The Dog Park, Deanna

Hi all I did try to easily attempt to roll Ricky on his back while he was on the floor but he seems to be scared more than anything else. so I wont force him. If he does not want to be on his back, so be it. I would think that forcing him would only cause him to then be afraid of me.
