Cats are as easy to train as dogs! My mother always taught all our cats to roll over. I also have taught our cats to roll over. After about 2 years of not rolling over one of our cats remembered how to do it! I was shocked. Cats are a lot smarter than people give them credit!

Cats can do one important job, They can keep mice out of a house, and mice carry many nasty things and ruin food stock. I call that a useful job.

The clicker is …
The clicker is given meaning by clicking & treating over & over. It’s like saying “good boy!” only it’s a neutral sound, that can be consistently repeated & 1 they don’t hear everyday. it knows it will get a treat when you click & quickly links what it was doing the moment you clicked with getting the treat the click promises. This leads him to repeat the behavior. Once they grasp this they try very hard to get you 2 click. Add a command word phase out the “tools” & you’ve got your trick!

To phase out the …
To phase out the treat you slowly start to only reward every other time and then only every so often. Even if you didn’t give them a treat the last time they did it, They know that there is a possibility of you giving a treat the next time you ask for a behavior and so they keep trying. This is know as “the gamble” in food based training. If the animal stops responding every time, there is nothing wrong with giving a treat to refresh their memory and get them to start gambling all over again.
