How about teaching him to spell his name? Really, it's just touching the letters, and it shouldn't be hard to teach him since he will already lift his paws. I really mean to teach Max to do it no matter what order the letters are in, but right now he can just do it if they're in the proper order, although he could probably also do it if I switched the M and A. You could probably easily teach him to do it if the letters were in the correct order, and if you wanted to go for more, you could teach him to do it in any order.
Another cool looking trick, but not if your walls are painted, is to teach him to turn off the lights. If your walls are painted, don't do this, because it will scratch the paint.
Crawl like someone else suggested is also pretty cute and easy to teach. How about roll over, if he's willing to expose his belly?
Anne, I would have never thought of teaching it that way. I probably would have slowly turned my hand from the position for paw to High five. I bet your way gets it done a lot faster than mine.
