Teaching a dog a new trick can often take time. It's important to break things down into smaller layers and work on incremental steps to ensure that the learner is not put off and to prevent frustration. The only reasons a dog won't do what you're asking is if they don't understand, it's not motivating enough or the environment is making it too difficult. Dogs who lack in confidence can also feel easily overwhelmed so setting up really easy wins helps to build their confidence and make training easier and fun.
