How to teach your cat to SIT
Sharing buttons:
many people think that you can't train a
cat well they're wrong if you know what
motivates your cat you can train it now
training with fryi today is gonna be a
little difficult cuz she's pretty snoozy
but I'm just gonna see if she has a
reaction to her favorite treat bag
because that can be a great place to
start for coming when called many cats
know the sound of their treat bag and
get excited right off the bat when they
hear it so let's just see if she wakes
up Oh suddenly we're interested so well
it's not an ideal time to practice
coming when called it is a good time to
reinforce the association that hearing
the treat bag needs good things now many
cat owners already know about the treat
bag effect but what they don't know is
that it's really easy to capitalize on
it to teach your cat to come and called
the way to do that is to pair your cats
names with the tree and the great news
is since your cat knows the sound of a
tree bag or a tree canister you can
build on an already strong Association
so in this case you might say your cat's
name and then give them a treat so it'll
go like this fryi and then I crazy on
the bag which means the treat is coming
and then I give her one now first when
you're starting this you want to start
right by your cat because they don't
really know what you're trying to do
start at a place where cat and you are
most likely to be successful so rinse
and repeat fryi
crinkle crinkle and then give a treat
now when you're ready to start working
on coming when called you can begin
working from a distance I'm not gonna do
this with fryi today because she might
walk right off the table if she happened
to get up but what you would do is the
same type of behavior say the cat's name
crinkle the bag and as soon as they come
over give a treat eventually the name
that you give your cat for this exercise
will become as powerful as the treat bag
and you'll see that when you give the
sound of your cat's name that your cat
comes running for that treat over time
you can stop using food and use
scratches or other positive attention
that your cat enjoys as a reinforcer
just remember that it's not normal for
cats to come when called in the wild so
it's definitely a behavior that's worth
paying for
and that's how you teach your cat to
come when called
