Training Cat to Retrieve: Session #2

My dog already retrieves, so I decided to try it with my cat… we’ll see how this goes ;)
Now he’s starting to understand I want him to look at the object… then I start waiting for him to touch it. I should have ended this session sooner – hopefully he is still eager next session.

    The thing with cats it that they can not know its you who train them, or else they wont be trained :P They have to think it is they who train you, they are not as loyal as a dog :) Great job YoYoPoodle!! :) Beautiful cat btw =)

    Falling100, that is how clicker training works – first you reward for any little step in the right direction, and slowly ’shape’ the behavior by waiting for closer approximations of your ultimate goal. This video was the 2nd time he’d ever seen the object, and he had never previously learned to focus on any item (on command) before :)

    So all the cat has to do is look at something, and you give it a treat? Who has who trained, eh?
