AnswerRolling over and exposing your belly can be a very submissive thing. He may have decided he is a big boy now and doesn't have to submit to you. While obedience training done right teaches the dog you are in charge, it is possible for a dog to learn and comply with commands without understanding the need to submit to you. I would check out the material at http://www.dogbreedinfo.com./topdogrules.htm
