You have to train him to lie down first. Then you get a treat and take it close to his head and as he follows it over to the other side you tell him to rollover. As he does it each time you are saying "rollover'.

My dogs learned many tricks quite fast. But basically get a treat the dog likes first he needs to knoww how to lie down.. So from there you can move your hand with the treat in a circle motion signaling it to do that and then you physically roll the dog over and say good girl/boy and give them a very little piece of a treaat. continue this until the dog begins to catch on.. :)

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tr.im/tp2Ok

If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.

It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

1st show the dog to lay down. then get a treat and manually roll the dog over while saying the command. eventually he should learn...once he might have the idea put the treat over hes head saying the command and moving to the right which should get the dog to roll over. if he doesn't get it at first REPITITION is the key. never get mad or hit the dog in frustration and make sure to praise him in more than one way

Get a peice of meat and tell your dog to sit.

bring your hand up and he should do so.

Then tell him to lie down...as he is sitting wriggle the meat on the floor. this will help him to lie down.

Then when he is down get the meat and place it infront of his face and slowly move your hand around to near his ear...he will then roll over

Good Luck!
