LOL, I've been wrestling with the same problem. I was doing the same tricks in the same order, and he started anticipating what I was doing. I've had some success mixing up the order. Maybe sit and shake one time. Sit and high-five another time. Down and back to a sit instead of a roll-over.

Also, pay attention to what you're doing with your hands and body language. Maybe even have someone video you so you can watch. Your dog might have picked up on your body language more than your words. You may be saying SIT, but he may be seeing ROLL OVER.

Good luck!
