Teaching My Puppy King's Behavior

I want to teach my puppy King to rollover. The target behavior is to get King to rollover. I will try to make King sit and then lay down to my command, use a firm voice, different to my playful voice, and give King a small treat or bit of dog food. Once I have mastered the sit and lay commands, I can then move on to roll ever. I will give King a reward for merely lying on the floor. Then I only give him a reward when he lies on the floor on his belly and then rolls to his side. Then I reward him only when he lies on the floor on his stomach, then rolls to his back( Adams, 2015). In shaping, teaching King one step at a time. I reward for it for doing a series of actions and keep adding more steps as I the trainer learn them. Once King is laying down, say roll over in my authoritative voice and gently push them to one side. Once King submit on his back, I can pet him and give him the treat. I will try this about twice a day for ten minutes at a time therefore the puppy will get regular practice and learn a routine.
