  • A dog will roll on their back for a number of reasons. Some of them are simple behavioral cues and quirks but other instances could be a sign of something more. Your Dog Has an Itch They Can't Scratch The most common reason for a dog rolling on their back is not as complex as you may first think.

Dogs roll on their backs to show submissiveness or trust, and as an act of defense when fighting.

They might also roll around on a toy, food or something they find during play or while exploring outside.

When your dog rolls on his back on an object, he is doing it for a reason.

Dogs roll on their back when they are happy because it feels nice, to get attention or belly rubs, to show respect and trust, as well as out of submissiveness or fear. In most cases, it is nothing to worry about and is both completely natural and normal.
