[WHATNEXT?]

It is usually not a good idea with this dog to get down at his eye level. It gets him excited and pushy. I avoid playing on the floor at all times -- I've done it -- not worth it.

Since my last post, I have recalled that some dogs had to be muzzled before attempting this procedure. In fact, I think in extreme cases, they leashed and tied the dog as well.

If you watch the behavior of dogs among other dogs, you will notice that once one has been forced to become submissive, that's the role they usually (not always) continue when the "master" dog comes around.
