Pull the treat over the dog until your hand is on the other side. Your dog is probably going to follow the treat in your hand with his nose, which means he will rollover his whole body. As he rolls over say out loud, “roll over.” Repeat this until he rolls over with the command alone. Make sure you are patient because this is likely to take several attempts. However, your dog will eventually learn this command.
When house training your pup, you should adhere to a regular schedule of feeding and elimination.

Although your dog may be very unruly, do not despair. It just takes some knowledge and patience. Make use of the tips you just read to minimize the hardship involved in training your dog while maximizing the results at the same time.
