Well speak was a interesting method because he doesn't really bark that much. All I did was get him really excited before the training. Then I asked him to speak and stared deep into his eyes, he would then get stressed and whine a little and I would praise him...then as we continued we kept asking him for more until a bark surfaced.

The roll over thing was just me showing him how to do it and then praising him, after a while he would do it half way and I would hep him the rest and eventually he got it. I just do one trick at a time and work until it is perfected, while still reviewing past ones.
