I taught Simba "Give me paw" by tapping on his paw when it was on the ground and saying the command. It would be the natural reaction to lift the paw of pressure was on it... do you know what i mean?? And when he lifted it in the air i grabbed it and shook it. Since Zeke is still a puppy he'll think your playing [i know... ive been trying to teach Honey this] Good luck.
