How to get a dog to rollover?

Question

I have 2 boston terrriers which are nonsporting dogs.One of my dogs are terrible the other one is okayish smart i need help cause i want my dogs to be very very smart.

information:the smart on can sit,and lay down.

Answer 1

Start by gettin them to lay down then u like push them over to they roll wit ur help. Then give them a treat or tell them want a good job they are doin. do that a few more times while saying rollover slowly and eventually they will understand. This is how i trained my dachshund to rollover. I hope it helps.

Answer 2

Well put your down in the down position.  Get a treat and say "roll over" or whatever you want the signal to be and take the treat and put it over the dogs face to the other side forcing the dog to roll over and follow.  Keep doing this until the dog gets it down.  If the dog gets up put the dog in the down position and start over.  Best of luck!

Edit: With my dog, I like to say "Bang" and make a gun sign with my hand, and from sit she lays down and rolls over.  That is also fun to do.  

I also used something she loved as a treat like a cube of cheese or piece of chicken.  This way she ALWAYS rolled over!

Answer 3

Hold some food or treat and twirl it to make it roll over and say roll over in a firm in charge voice to the dog.

Answer 4

use treats(very small ones) and maybe a clicker, once you get them to the lay down stage, move the treat over their head(closely) and get them to switch sides, at that point try to help them over and give them the treat with tons of praise, and repeat A LOT until eventually they will catch on. I would separate them while doing this, try the "smarter" one first. Once it has it down pat, let the other one in and let it see smarty pants show off then separate them and repeat with the other pooch, good luck.
