i can't help you with the poop but to roll a dog on her back is a very submissive position for a dog to be in, that can be a little scary if your dog's a naturally dominant dog.

It's taking a long time to teach Evil Wee to roll over because she's a dominant dog. I'm training with her on the couch and me kneeling so that's a nice soft place to be and she's not on the floor. I place an arm either side of her and scoop her onto her back and give a treat then let her flop side to side - lots of treats - lots of praise. I just do it a couple of times and she's getting better. And doesn't fight me so much when I flip her over.

It's taking a long time not because she doesn't understand but that she isn't keen on it. She gets most things really quickly.
