Thanks for all the tips. I started off by saying shake and grabbing his paw. Then I would praise him and give a treat. Did this for 5 minutes or so, but couldn't get him to do it on his own. I know that I need to spend more time than this to get this trick down.

Well I always enjoy sharing pictures of Romeo so here you go....
