My Dog Constantly Rolls On Her Back And Wants Her Belly Rubbed.?

I recently got a 2 year old Papillon mix. My friend adopted her for my birthday knowing i had been ready for and wanting a dog. however when ever you walk up to her or play with her she rolls on er back and just lays there. this gets in the way of training her to learn to stay and sit when all she does is roll on her back and waits for her tummy to be rubbed. now i don’t know if this means anything but this dog was left in an abandoned house when her last family left her lock in a house. she was only found when someone called to complain of a barking dog. She had several rotted teeth and had many pulled and the remaining where deep cleaned. they told my friend she was most likely abused due to how extremely hand shy she is. Now however she is glued to my hip and never leaves me. i was wondering if her rolling on her back could be what she did when she was hit like playing dead? is there anyway i can stop this act?

Good Place To Order Belly Bands?

Hi again, all. My one-year-old Papillon mix seems mostly potty trained (I’ve had him for about two weeks, and he started out not housetrained, so I’m proud of him). He’s crate-trained and stays in the crate when I go out. However, every so often he still has accidents when he’s out of the crate (e.g., when we’re playing in the apartment). I’ve heard belly bands can be good housetraining tools–I’m also taking him to my parents’ house in a few weeks and want to keep him from marking in the new environment. (Marking typically isn’t a problem for him, since he’s neuteured; however, my parents have a dog so I didn’t know if that might bring out any latent marking tendencies in him.)
Anyway, it doesn’t seem that belly bands are sold at most typical petstores–I’ve found a few independent vendors online, but wasn’t sure who to go with. Any recommendations? And have belly bands worked for those of you who have young male dogs with similar occassional lapses in housetraining?
