How to train a cat at home

How to train a cat? Patiently, with affection, without punishment. In another way - no way. It is believed that the cat is very difficult to train. But what about the Kuklachev Theater? All over the world he is known, admired, surprised. It is a worthy example. Home version of the primary training: the cat since childhood knows where it has a tray or the owner pats on the knees and the pet loves jumping on them - what is not training? Therefore, a cat can learn some tricks, the main thing is to know how.

Where to start

As with any business, you should certainly begin with preparation. You can train a cat already from three months of age. By this time, she had not yet formed stable personal habits, preferences, and the brain is already sufficiently developed to understand what the owner wants.

First of all, you need some time to carefully watch the pet. What games does she like best? What does she like to do by herself, without prodding? Carries toys in his teeth - you can try to teach a cat to the team "aport."He loves to jump - then in the arsenal it is necessary to introduce jumping through the hoop or to the host on the shoulder. The kitty often touches her paw in order to draw attention to herself - it means that learning the command “give a paw” will not be difficult for her.

It is worth paying attention to some of the personal habits of the cat. How quickly she gets tired, how long she plays, what she likes most about food. All this will help the owner and the cat to achieve the best results of training without tedious drill.

Council If the cat does not like something, then it will be impossible to make her do it. It is important to teach training as part of the game or communication with the owner.

What is required

At the time of training will require a lot of patience. Do not try to train the cat to all the teams in a short time. The animal will quickly get bored with the master's perseverance and it will have a persistent reflex of disgust. It is better to practice a week for five minutes than to torment your darling all day.

The next item is trust. A cat will obey only one person, its owner. It is worth looking at whom she dominates in the family. This man will achieve the greatest results in training.Of course, only in the case when the animal trusts him. It is only once to offend the fluffy and everything, you can forget about trust. And that means about training too. But you can "enjoy" wet slippers.

Be sure to stock up a treat to promote. It must be something tasty, small in size. For example, pieces of boiled chicken meat, cheese, boiled liver. Small - so that the fluffy does not gorge on, but only get excited. Soft to eat quickly. Dry food will not work. While the pet cracks the drying, she completely forgets, for which she was given a snack. Yes, and a delicacy can be called a stretch. Be sure to give a treat with his hands, then the animal will closely monitor the master's brush, build a logical chain and do everything as it should.

Council Commands should be given in an even voice, with the same intonation. Pets are very sensitive to the timbre of the voice.

Procedure

For each trick has its own algorithm of action. You can slightly change it, given the nature and adapting to the habits of the cat.

Jumps
The simplest thing is to teach your favorite to jump at the command “an”.For example, from the nightstand to the chair and back. It is important that the piece of furniture is stable, otherwise the animal will be frightened and it will be possible to forget about the training. What to do?

• Put the cat on the chair.
• On the bedside table put a piece of treat.
• The cat jumps over, at this time they say “an”, then they praise her.
• Immediately put on a chair a new batch of treats.
• The animal jumps, the team sounds, then boasting.
• After doing a trick, as if to put a piece.
• Repeat the above steps, but give a tasty already from the hand.

Give me your foot
Sometimes the cat itself touches the owner with a paw in order to draw attention to itself. This is a good prerequisite for dog training.

• They take a pad in hand, slightly squeeze, pronounce the command in an even voice.
• Let go, give a treat.
• Repeat until the animal starts giving itself a paw.

Sit
Knowing the anatomy of a cat, you can easily learn to sit at the command of the owner.

• Show animal treats.
• When the pet comes, the hand is slightly raised.
• Due to the structure of the body, the cat will have to sit down to take the delicious.
• At this point, utter a command, then praise.

Jumping through the hoop
To perform this trick is not necessary to purchase hulahup. You can take a large hoop. Color does not matter, the cat sees the world differently. But acquaintance of the pet with a new attribute is necessary in advance. Let the hoop lie down for a few days in a visible place so that the cat sniffs it and gets used to it.

• In one hand they hold a hoop in front of an animal, in the other - a reward.
• Lure darling treat, forcing to pass through the barrier.
• Give delicious, praise.
• If the cat does not pass through the hoop, but tries to get around - they do not give it to the treat.
• After a steady consolidation of the team, the obstacle is lifted.
• Repeat all actions.

Stand
Many cats, when begging for food from households, stand on their hind legs. Most likely, any pet will agree to execute the command. All the more - the usual movement.

• Show the animal that there is a reward in the hand.
• When the kitty comes up, the treat is raised higher.
• As soon as she rises on her hind legs, she gives a command.
• Give a treat, praise even voice.

Kiss
Most furry pets love to climb the owner in the face. So why not use this feature for training?

• Smear your cheek with something delicious.
• Give sniff darling, but do not lick.
• Pull away to the side.

When kitty comes running and starts to lick the treat, say the command.

Lie down
Another anatomy trick.

• When the pet sits, show her the reward.
• Slowly lower the hand down, then to the side.
• The skeleton structure will force the cat to lie down.
• If she does not want to go to bed, you can gently help her with your other hand.
• As soon as the animal has laid down, they say the team, give a treat.

You can train a cat as a classic tricks, and completely unique. One has only to look, perhaps she has hidden talents. On this basis, invent your own tricks.

Council It is important to train only affection, food, boasting. Dog training methods based on punishment or painful actions with the cat do not work absolutely.

What else needs to be considered

The most important thing is not to deceive the animal. The cat should receive a reward for every correctly performed trick. Is always. Even when she clearly learned the team.

Praise should always be the same word.This word can not be used in everyday life, so that the animal is not confused. Otherwise, why carry out the command, when and so praise?

You should not force the fluffy to do anything. Kisa should want to do the trick herself. Let her think that she is training her master. Allegedly, he, on command, gives her delicious, and she gave the paw herself, because she wanted it.

Training should be short, but constant. Be sure to go on an empty stomach. A well-fed animal is unlikely to jump through a hoop for a piece of chicken. The most convenient time is in the morning. The cat got hungry, rested in the morning, had not yet had time to fill her head with her affairs. By the way, more important than the master's training.

No need to teach the kitty at once to all teams. Only after a clear memorization of one trick, you can begin to learn a new one. Otherwise, the cat will simply get confused or even offended.

The sooner the training begins, the greater the results that can be achieved. Kittens are easily trained in a game form. But an adult animal is difficult to train. It has already formed, habits and preferences have appeared. Better not to retrain.

In order for the cat to better understand that they are turning to her, all commands should be pronounced, necessarily adding a nickname.

If your favorite is thoroughly trained, and one day, she suddenly stopped performing memorized tricks, you shouldn’t scold her. It is possible that the fluffy is not in the mood or he is mischievous. We must leave the pet alone, and after a while try again. Kisa "remembers" all the lessons.

How to train a cat? With love, confidently and without violence. It happens that the cat does not want to perform tricks. Did the owners stop adoring her for it?

Does not work? Upset? It is necessary to drink valerian and pet darling. Checked - it is great soothing nerves.
