Narrative:

Go around on a training flight; due to not extending the gear until the last minute. Student pilot observing pointed it out. On a training flight I was told to expect a no flap landing. Simulated IFR under the hood. Inbound receiving simulated vectors from instructor at 2500 ft MSL was told by ATC I was number three to land. Commenced to slow down and was told by instructor to descend to 1000 ft MSL and did so; but was still fast in the descent with power lever at idle; opted for flaps 15 to help slow down for spacing. The gear horn sounded; and I said silence gear horn. At 1000 ft AGL was told to look up and take off hood; I did so. As we continued I was reminded by instructor that this landing was to be a no flap landing. I selected the flaps back to 0 degrees. Company procedure is to wait until flaps are all the way up or down to selected position before selecting gear down or up. I hesitated to put the gear down waiting for flaps to retract and then forgot to put the gear down until student pilot observing advised me of gear not being down. I put the gear down. Next we executed a go around and called ATC. They gave new instructions to join a right downwind.
