Correcting a dog should be done quickly and concisely. There’s no point in ranting at your dog. Just tell them no, and point them in the desired direction. Let your dog know that if you raise your voice they need to pay attention.
Rewarding your dog properly and generously is important when it comes to training them. Giving your dog treats at the right time and in the right amount is important. Your dog does not know why they are getting the reward unless you do it right after the positive behavior.

Teaching a dog how to roll over isn’t too hard with a few treats in your hand. The first step is to teach your dog to lay.

Each time he sways to one side, tell him to “roll over”. Keep doing this until the treat is no longer needed. Be patient if they don’t get it right away; they’ll get it soon enough!
With any luck, these tips should help you feel much more confident when training your dog. The material above is highly useful, but keep in mind that there is lots more information available.
