I am trying to train my dog to roll over and play dead, but she won’t follow the treat. It’s not a matter of if she likes the treat or not, she likes them. She just wont follow it! What do i do?!

Maybe try varying the treats so that they are more exciting for her. Also, try mixing up your training routine a bit so she’s not just doing roll over and play dead, to make it more interesting. Dogs generally love a pat and some praise as rewards too so give plenty of that when she does even a bit of the trick right.
Try gently rolling her over gently with one hand while she can still see the treat in the other, this might help her get the idea. Make sure you give a verbal command at the same time eg “roll over”. Good luck.
Try to consult to an expert dog trainer to help you.
