Many people say cat training
is difficult to do. Cats are too hard to train. Well, if you
use some basic training techniques cat can be just as easy to
train as dogs.
When it comes to cat training
most people don’t even try because they think it is way
too hard. Dogs on the other hand seem overly eager to learn tricks
to get our affection. Cats on the other hand do not seem overly
interested in learning tricks just to get our affection, they
seem like they just want to be left alone to sleep.
There are many examples of
how to train a cat. For instance my friend taught his cat how
to use a human toilet, and my cat knows how to play fetch. Teaching
your cat these and other behavior is easy if you use positive
reinforcement and incremental training.
Positive reinforcement just
means rewarding your cat for simple things they a have done right.
For instance when ever my cat would bring the toy back to me
I would show it affection by petting it.
When my friend trained his
cat to use the toilet he used incremental training. He slowly,
very slowly would move the litter box closer to the toilet every
day until the cat was used to being next to the toilet, and then
he put the litter box on top of the toilet, and then finally
placed a recessed bowl in the lid, and then finally removed it.
By combining incremental training
and positive reinforcement you can quickly train your cat, just
as fast as training a dog. Start today, by picking a simple trick
you would like to teach your cat and start your cat training.
