He did "shake" for 2 days and quit. I now have to pick up his paw and shake it. We'll keep trying -- maybe the new kibble will motivate him.

I played the game and yep, Maximo used his nose. The only thing he seems to want to use his paws for is ripping hair out of his topknot. *sigh* I still need to watch some training videos on the web.
