Not read the whole thread, but the origins of this becoming mainstream started with the book published by the Monks of New Skete, they have since revised their advice.

Secondly, most people who use it, say it is what canids do in the wild, however 99.99% of the time a dog throws ITSELF on its back, it is not put there by another.

Thirdly, if you need to do this with a dog, you are most probably a) over dogged and b) an inadequate trainer.......

True & mine willingly flop on their backs for me, much as Josie flops on her back for Izze when she repremends her for being a brat (lol) Izze in turn flops on her back for me in turn for being a brat (which is rare) after that the unwanted behavior stops & everyone moves on with life.
