Malone is really obsessed with his treats, too, but that works to his advantage because then he is willing to do almost anything to get that treat.
Start by holding the treat in your hand, and just generally putting it under there snout, and saying "WAIT!" If they start to go for it, close your hand, and repeat "Wait!" When they settle down and look at you, praise them and give them the treat.
After they have mastered that, put the treat on the floor, and then onto their foot. After doing this quite a bit, you should be able to move to their snout. At first just hold your hand to keep their mouth steady, and then gradually move your hand away.
Sounds like all your tricks are fun. Malone is just starting to catch on to "Paw" and "Show me your belly"
