Luring works along with the shaping. I don't actually give a name to the behavior until it happens. I just mark the steps and lure with a high value treat (and maybe a hand on the side to prevent jumping up and encourage rolling over). After they have it, then I add in the name, or cue, and a hand signal. Others may do it differently.

I'm happy that I'm blessed to be a mother of an 18 year old son.
And five daughters ages 16, 15, 12, 8, 6.

Also happy for my husband, and of course my little mini schnauzer Sophie, and our puppy Logan.

April Nicole, that's a lot to be happy about. You must live a very full life. I mean that in a good way. I was lucky to be a stay at home mom to my girls. I tell them all the time that they are the very best things I've ever done, and will ever do, in my life.

Hi Boxer girl.
Yes we do indeed have a very full life. I have been blessed to be able to stay home also, I actually homeschool my crew. And they are the best kids! I definitely have a lot to be thankful for.
And what a nice sentiment to tell your girls.
