i just read on puppy training online and some book that said alpha rolling was ok to do then i did further research on alpha roll where it said that it could be dangerous. i have only done this at max 3-4 times to my westie because he has constantly been hyper and play-biting. when doing this i just picked him up and lay him down on the floor with my hand on his body so he cant get up. he just gets calm and after the first time he got a bit rowdy and started acting hysterical. i will not do this anymore but has doing it that little amount of time really going to be as bad as people say? i read this on wikipedia but it says its bad for adult dogs and does not specify if it is bad for puppies. this is a puppy that is about 2 months old that i rescued from a shelter. i think it shouldnt be too bad since puppies are too young to know and remember unless it is reinforced many times. what do u guys think?
