Haha I just saw a video on Youtube that explained rollever exactly how you did it! I'll have to try it that way for sure!
And... drum roll please... we conquored shake! It actaully was an accident, I put a little clip in his hair to keep it out of his eyes, so everytime he lifted his paw to itch it I'd grab his paw, say shake and give him a treat, and it worked! He doesn't do it consistantly, but after a little reminder he'll shake for me!
Thanks for all the advice, we'll keep going at it!
