To teach Optimus to Roll Over we started with sit, and then down. Then I literally just rolled him over with my hands while saying "Roll Over!" and then I'd give him a treat.
After two or three days of this (with 1 training session a day probably 5-10 minutes each) he just started doing it.
At 15 weeks Luma is definitely old enough to learn all kinds of tricks. The key for Optimus was doing it when he was tired. When he is alll wired and crazy he couldn't focus for beans!
He can sit, down, roll over, shake, speak, go to bed (hop in his dog bed) and turn a circle on his hind legs.
Does he do it 100% of the time? Heck no, he does it about 75% of the time -- or whenever he feels like it. When he realizes I'm just bossing him and I don't have treats then the jig is up and he just walks away.
So stubborn!
