I've been trying to teach Susu "paw", a fairly basic command
In order to do this I have held my hand out, said "paw", gently grasped one of his feet, put it on my outstretched palm, said "paw" again, let go of his foot, and said "paw" a third time in the same tone
Every time i do this, he sits there and stares up at me with his big, round, beautiful, utterly uncomprehending eyes, and does not move, except for sometimes he sniffs my fingers in the hopes that maybe a treat has magically appeared in the last couple of seconds
