In this commentary, we compare and contrast Norman et al.s' findings on rollovers during dog play (Norman et al., 2015; the "target article") with our work on dog play fighting (Bauer and Smuts, 2007; Ward et al., 2008). We first review our major findings and then correct some errors in the target article's descriptions of our work. We then further explore the concept of "defensive" rollovers proposed in the target article. We conclude that a combination of the target article's approach and ours should inform future investigations of dog rollovers.
在这篇评论中，我们将诺曼等人关于犬类玩耍时翻滚行为的研究结果（诺曼等人，2015年；“目标文章”）与我们关于犬类打斗玩耍的研究工作（鲍尔和斯穆茨，2007年；沃德等人，2008年）进行比较和对比。我们首先回顾我们的主要研究结果，然后纠正目标文章中对我们工作描述的一些错误。接着，我们进一步探讨目标文章中提出的“防御性”翻滚的概念。我们得出结论，目标文章的研究方法与我们的方法相结合，应该为未来对犬类翻滚行为的研究提供参考。
