Cat Training Services
Despite popular belief, cats can be trained. With the right techniques training is a powerful tool for enriching your cat’s life. Training a cat is, essentially, teaching a cat to perform desired behaviours using positive reinforcement. The desired behaviour is taught by shaping the cats’ natural behaviours in small rewarding steps.
There are so many behaviours that a cat can learn, including:
- Target stick training
- Training the cat to go to a desired location or “parking spot”
- Getting brushed
- Jumping over, crawling under
- Sitting pretty
- High five, fist bump, shake
- Sit, down, stay
- Using a cat flap
- Willingly accept toothbrushing
- Cat carrier training
- Willingly take oral medication - liquid or tablets
- Redirection of unwanted behaviour such as counter surfing
