get in the floor with them. take your hands and hold them around their bodies. Say, roll over then take them and roll them over and soon as you do, give them their favorite treat and praise them, keep doing this untill you can get them to lay down like their trying but not sure how to finish. when they get in the lay down position, just take your hands and roll them over, soon as their up, give them several bites of their favorite treats and praise praise praise. then keep helping them untill they get it. Now this is just my way, maybe to some its isnt their way but this is the way i've taught Kizzy and I've done this with 3 puppies we've had and it worked with all of them. goodluck. And once they do it on their own not only praise, praise praise but give them several bits of their favorite treats. Be consistent several times a day but not for long periods until you wear them out. Always use the term :roll over: or your term even when your helping them.
