7. Submission and Respect
Dogs are pack animals by nature, and within a pack, there’s always a hierarchy. Rolling over is a common submissive gesture that your dog might use to acknowledge you as the leader. By exposing her belly, she’s saying, “I respect you, and I’m not a threat.”
This behavior is often accompanied by other submissive signals, such as avoiding direct eye contact, flattening the ears, or wagging the tail low. It’s her way of ensuring harmony and balance in your relationship.
