Stunt 1

Spark your cat's interest!

This cat stunt is the most un-staggering upon first look, and yet shapes the reason for our preparation. It includes you connecting a delicious treat with a sound, our positive reinforcer.

This can, for example, be a clicker or a short "thud" with your lips. Nonetheless, the sound ought to constantly be the same so your cat remembers it.

How would we currently condition our fuzzy companion? Sit before your cat and toss a delectable treat towards it. It will presumably drop everything for that! Your little cat will be blissful about the connoisseur treat - radiate the acoustic sign simultaneously. Rehash this a couple of times until your cat has discovered that "this clamor shows that I've procured a treat!".

This molding generally comes toward the start and it's critical that your feline incorporates it. You're best off rehashing the activity on a few sequential days until plainly your cat has grasped the rule.

On the off chance that you just make the acoustic sign during preparing and your cat is eagerly attentive to you, you realize that it has been effectively molded - and on it goes!

Jumping

At the point when your cat is in front of you, hold a band before it close to the ground and entice it through the circle with a treat. Be patient assuming your cat is at first to some degree uninterested towards this stunt. At the point when it goes through the loop securely, hold it somewhat higher and gradually increment it until your cat needs to leap to go through it. In the event that it goes through the bottom, go back a step.

Alert: Just hold the circle as high as your little buddy can jump without overdoing it. Furthermore, ensure the floor is non-slip.

Tip: As another option, you can allow your feline to get around your outstretched arm. In the event that the particular stunts sink in, you can stay with this signal - raised circle or arm - or present an order like "jump!".

Stunt 3

Slalom

With regards to slalom runs, there needs to be a connection between you and your cat and some coordination from the two sides is required. The goal is for the cat to run between its owner's open legs.

Similar to jumping through the hoop, you can entice your cat bit by bit directing it through your wide-separated legs by luring it with a delicious treat.

The cat ought to continuously begin from the side of the back leg. Slalom looks especially rich when both cat and owner move smoothly. Practice the developments gradually with patience. You ought to obviously make a point not to accidentally step on your cat's paws, so continue with great caution.

Stunt 4

Sit

Not just canines can sit and lie down! For sit, hold a treat or fascinating toy over your cat's head when it is standing and move it somewhat in reverse when the cat notices.

Most cats sit naturally to focus on their prey. Promptly reward this with something delicious and hear-able support. Another choice is dependably reward the cat with a treat and an acoustic sign at whatever point it ends up moving into the sit position.

Remember that this possibly seems OK assuming you reward your cat straight after it plunks down, not assuming you need to run into the kitchen and search for a treat first.

Possibly you generally have the award to hand or you utilize specific circumstances when you realize that your cat will before long plunk down. This strategy is called capturing and involves positive reinforcement of desired regular way of behaving.

Stunt 5

Down

There are various choices to train your cat to lie down. For example, you can place a treat in your grasp and gradually put it on the floor and clutch it. Your cat will likely lie down facing it sooner or later. Toward the beginning, offer the treat at the primary hint of lying down and entice your cat further and further into a lying position.

Build up desired behaviour with the recognizable acoustic sign. On the off chance that your cat has understood what is generally anticipated from it, you can present an order - the sign of a hand being brought down is especially helpful here. On the other hand, you can utilize catching for down as well (see sit). For instance, assuming you realize ahead of time that your buddy will stay with you during a relaxing evening on the couch.
