The alpha roll can be effective. I've done it to Muskwa a couple times--not recently as he seems to have finally realized that he runs the pen, I run the house. You have to be extremely careful with it though. Some dogs will not accept it nicely. I'd guarentee if I tried with Kayleigh, she'd take my face off in a heartbeat.
