Mr. N demonstrates the proper technique for rolling in grass for maximum enjoyment and dirtiness.
First, you sprawl out in the grass.
Then you get on your back and prepare to rub yourself against the grass.
Make sure to kick out your legs and roll with the entire length of your body. Don’t forget to get your head.
Really work those core muscles.
Add a little twist and roll in all directions just to make sure you’re thoroughly covered in grass + dirt smell.
All four directions. If you’re rolling in a circle, you’re on the right track.
If you’re not covered in grass and dirt by the time you’re done, you did it wrong!
Final product.
Mr. N is also giving away a shirt like his (minus the dirt and grass).

I took careful notes and will give your techniques a try!

I really wanted the shirt covered in dirt and grass for Gadget to wear.
June 30, 2015 12:27 am
I'm sure Gadget can find a way to get his own shirt dirty!

Aww I love the technique; and I really love how he remains focused on you the whole time 🙂

So cute! Looks like he's mastered rolling in the grass. I don't think Barley as ever rolled in the grass–sometimes I swear she acts like she's allergic to nature 😉

I don't roll in the grass a lot but I LOVE rolling around in sandy grit. The stuff that gets on the driveway? EXCELLENT. Drives the peeps crazy but I do it anyway.

Sand takes forever to get out!

I always wondered what the proper procedure was. Now I know. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

Good job I couldn't have done it better myself! I always say its great exercise for the waistline! Love Dolly

That’s so cute! We cats put a spin on it. We make sure we do it right at the human’s feet so they can’t move.

Great technique!

Ear; and Ethel enjoy this pastime, too – especially if there's something smelly IN the grass.

That looks like it could pass for a really cool dance move too, Mr. N!
June 30, 2015 12:28 am
It does like he's break-dancing.
June 29, 2015 5:45 pm
Oh Mr. N. You're a pro!
June 29, 2015 5:52 pm
ohh… good thing Mr. N had a shirt on!!
June 30, 2015 12:28 am
Oh… he was due for a bath so I let him have his fun.

Zoe would like Mr. N to know that he did miss a step. First you need to find something extremely disgusting.. like a dead animal or coyote poop. Then you roll. 😛

That's more Sage's domain. Luckily, he mostly just rolls in grass.
June 29, 2015 6:44 pm
LOL, love the gif at the end! He's a pro! Rita must have gone to the same school as him. She's all about the twisting and core work and she does that same "kick up the legs" move when she rolls on the grass!
June 30, 2015 12:29 am
Mr. N says way to go!
June 29, 2015 6:49 pm
I would love to practice this technique – if only Mom wouldn't tug my leash and say the word, "GAH! That's disgusting!!"
Love and licks,
Cupcake

Mr. N does a lot of his rolling off-leash. You have to seize the moment!
June 29, 2015 11:13 pm
Ya sure look like you're havin fun!
June 29, 2015 11:17 pm
Hi Y'all!
What! If I win the shirt I don't get the dirt and grass? After all the work he did?
Y'all come on by,

I think he wants to keep it to cherish the memories.

Great technique, Mr. N! Our beagle Cricket practices hers every day when I get home from work. Luckily we have lots of green grass right now though, so she doesn't get quite as dirty!

I hear there's nothing like a good roll in the grass.
June 30, 2015 2:44 am
So cute- excellent technique.
June 30, 2015 12:45 pm
still laughing! That's the best tutorial I've seen on this technique. Thanks for that!

Aww, this is so adorable! Mr. N is clearly a master of rolling around in the grass. A great instructor, too! My woofie could definitely take lessons from Mr. N.

OMDog! You are the cutest grass roller! The Goldens loves rolling in anything that is green and sometimes stinky! lol Thanks for your fantastic tutorial!
October 11, 2017 11:09 am
Bravo, Mr. N! Great job! And you did a wonderful job on a step by step tutorial.

So cute. Mr N does have some great technique. Thanks for bringing a smile to my day!
October 11, 2017 6:35 pm
What a great demo! hahahaha. We love Mr. N!

Nelly LOVES to roll in the grass. I will have to show her your technique.
October 14, 2017 1:44 pm
Great demo, Mr. N! I was just taking photos of Cricket doing just that in the yard today. I’m not sure she’s quite as thorough as you are, she might need to take notes! 🙂
