I trained my dog to roll over by physically saying the command "Roll over" or saying the command while using a hand gesture they may remember, and then physically rolling them over. After this, you can give him a treat, and repetedly do this giving him a treat every time, even if you yourself in the beginning roll him over. Eventually he should gradually realize that if he does this action by recognizing your gesture or command that he will recieve a treat, and eventually you can ween him off of the treat so you are left with a perfected dog trick!
