Confused Sit/Lay Down Training....Help!

I have gone back to basics with training Ginger. She knows and has always known the sit command. I thought I would teach her to lay down. I put her in a sit and then have her lay down with a hand motion and voice command of "lay down". Then she gets a treat. It was working beautifully until today. Ughhhh.

Now, when I tell her to sit, she goes straight to a lay down. How do I undo that and get her to know the difference? I want her to sit sometimes too. Geezzzz. I haven't been treating that. Should I? She is one stubborn little girl! She is taking the fast route to get a treat. Silly girl!

I have also tried a lay down without treats and she looks at me like I'm nuts. She will sit without a treat but no way is she laying down without one. I guess it's not been long enough. What do I do?

Advice anyone?
