Mix dishwashing detergent into a bowl of warm water. Dip a rag into the soapy water, then pat the paw with the rag. Once the paw becomes wet, gently wipe the gum to see if it comes off. If the gum doesn't come off, try applying an oil. Don't pull at the gum, as this can hurt your dog. Dip another rag in the olive oil, then wipe the oil onto the dog's paw. Use the rag to lightly pick at the gum, trying to remove it. Avoid pulling at the gum. Move in a sideways motion to try to shift it off of the dog's paw. As an alternative, you can use an oil-based salad dressing to loosen the gum. Don't allow your dog to lick away any soap or oil. Use dog shampoo to wash the dog's paw, then rinse it thoroughly. Use a clean, dry towel to pat the dog's paw dry. If you use the oil on your dog, use a degreasing shampoo or wash the paw with dishwashing soap for best results. The skin on your dog's paws is very sensitive, so don't risk damaging it. If wiping the dishwashing detergent or oil onto your dog's paws doesn't loosen it, your vet is the best option. If your dog is fighting you when you attempt to remove the gum, go ahead and call the vet. Don't risk hurting your dog. As an alternative, your pet groomer may be able to help you remove the gum.

Eventually, you can move to meditating on a particular koan, or question. Being around other people may motivate you to meditate. You may enjoy meditating with others more than practicing it alone.
