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.

I swear, these puppies are smarter than a 5th grader
So, I am having a hard time teaching Sheldon the roll over command. He sits, then he lays down and when I go to roll him over he freaks out. What else can I do.
Sheldon knows the sit, lay, stay, shake, beg, spin and goes to bed command but we are stuck with those and would like to do more. Any ideas?
