I don't totally understand Thor's reasoning on "Roll Over". He's fine if I flip him on his back for a belly rub, but he won't roll for me voluntarily. I've tried luring him with a treat over his shoulder, but he just gets up when the treat is out of range, rather than rollling on his side. He fights me if I roll him over, and I don't want him to associate the action with force. I'm able to flip him over really quickly if we're playing and I treat him, but we're a ways away from getting a voluntary roll over.

Do you guys teach left and right on every trick? Thor knows how to Shake, High Five, and Spin, all to the right, but I think he'll get confused if I try to get him to distinguish right from left.
