Cat Trick of the Day

Hello everyone! It is Allison. Guess who hasn't been posting to much? (Here comes the guilt.) I'm SO sorry! Well, here comes a cat trick. Did you see Katie's last trick on cat clicker training? It is pretty awesome! It is pretty helpful too... hint hint! Today's trick might use it... hee hee! Now time for what you have been waiting for! Dun dun dun!!! The trick for today is... come!

Supplies
Clicker
Cat treats
A cat
Trainer (you!)
Another person


1.  Start by showing your cat the treat. Make sure the cat really wants it!

2. Start going backwards. If the cat follows, it is doing it right! If not, keep trying to get him/her to follow the treat.

3. If your cat is following you, you are starting! Click and treat.

4. Keep repeating. Someone else should probably be there to hold the cat while you get back into position to keep trying.

5. As you practice, say come. That way your cat learns the word. If your cat gets it right, click and treat as soon as possible!

6. As you practice more and more, start using smaller treats.

7. When you think your cat is mastering it with small treats, try doing it with no treats. If your cat gets detracted by this, go back to using treats. Maybe even make the treat size smaller. If your cat is getting it without treats, keep practicing! Remember to click and treat only when the cat does something right. Also include lots of positive reinforcement like pats and stuff when they do something right.'

8. If your cat is coming when you call "come!" well, you have done it! Your cat now knows how to come!

 Remember, this process takes a while. You should only train about three times a day, for five minutes each. Also, only when your cat does something right you click and treat. Also include like I said earlier, lots of positive reinforcement like pats.
