My kitten just turned a cat so he’s still kind of young, and I want him to be able to do tricks when I signal him something. I’m not talking about something major, just like hop up on the bed or come here or something, or different tricks.
*Please say something other than keep doing it over & over*
Training Tips:
1. Start when the cat is just a kitten – Young minds are more receptive to training and bad habits have not had a chance to form.
2. Always use positive reinforcement – A hug or a whiff of catnip goes much further than a harsh word.
3. Keep the training short and frequent – Cats don’t have very long attention spans, so it is far better to have six 5-minute sessions spaced throughout the day than one 30-minute block of time.
4. Get down on your cat’s level – How would you like a 200-foot giant telling you what to do?
5. Stay indoors – This is crucial; you don’t want your cat getting distracted or running into the street.
