Maybe if you do the guess which hand trick. Have him see you put a treat in one hand and make fists with both hands, and have him tell you which hand has the treat. I'm sure then he will use his paw. If he STILL uses his nose, you can modify it into a new trick. Uni does "tap" which she taps her nose on whatever I ask, be it my hand, or if she wants me to feed her faster she will tap her bowl that i am holding.
