I taught both of my pups just like this. While they're laying down, I would move the treat like mentioned above and now they do great!
For some reason, my girl is more stubborn at learning tricks, but my boy learns in about 10-15 minutes!
He knows "give me five" instead of "give me paw" and he does it while standing up just like a high-5, it's so cute!
I also taught mine to play dead. The command I use is "Bang Bang" (not too loud, you don't want to scare them!) and then I point my hand at them like a gun (kinda sad)...then they roll over into the submissive pose. I taught them while teaching roll-over and it was very easy...I just had them start to roll over and then helped them to stop from rolling all the way over.
