Fact: Subordinate wolves SUBMIT by exposing their belly - there is NO rolling of a superior animal inflicted on a submissive. It is a dangerous practice that has resulted in people being bitten for no good reason. Flooding - overwhelming a dog with stimulus to create a change in behavior. Hope I helped.
