Whats the best way to teach your new pup roll over

Funny you ask. We were just doing this with my son's dog last night.

I use the clicker method of training. If you are not familiar with that then go here first: http://www.frontierrots.com/clicker.htm...

Now that you've loaded your clicker there is a 4 step process. First you have to train your dog to sit then to lie down on it's belly then to roll from his belly to his side then from his side to the opposite side (thus rolling over).

To do teach him to sit, hold a treat in your hand and let the dog see it. Put the treat in front of the dogs nose and slowly move the treat over the top of his head. He will follow it with his eyes and as you move it past his brow, he should sit. Click and treat when he does this. Repeat a multitude of times.

Now you have to teach your dog to lie down. Have the dog sit, click and treat. With another treat in your hand put it in front of the dogs nose and move your hand down and forward slowly. The dog will follow the treat and should lie down. If he does, click and treat. Repeat a multitude of times.

Now have your dog sit then lie down. With a treat in your hand and your dog in the prone position put the treat in front of his nose again and slowly move it along the floor to his left or right and move it back over his neck line. If he's following the treat with his nose he should lie down on his side. Click and treat. Repeat.

Have your dog sit, lie down then lie on his side. Again with the treat in front of his nose, continue moving it across his neck keeping the treat just out of reach. She should roll from one side to the other. Repeat until he does it on command.
