Train cats to understand the password of "come" and cat training skills! Cats are very smart and can understand many instructions through moderate training, but it is best when the cat is young, older cats will be more independent and not easy to follow the instructions. Today, let’s start with the simplest "come" instructions!
The "coming" movement is best started with weaning (45 days after delivery). Before formal training, let the cat be familiar with its name. When the owner calls the cat's name, the cat raises its head or jumps into the owner's arms. At this time, you should touch the cat's head and use your hands to continuously straighten the cat's body's hair from head to hip. In this way, the cat feels kind and builds up a relationship with the cat, which is conducive to the beginning of training. When training the "e "Come" movement, the owner or trainer first puts the food in a fixed place, calls the cat's name and constantly issues the "e "Come" password. In accordance with the gesture: If the cat is not interested and does not respond, it should show the food to the cat, then put it back to the fixed location, which will attract the cat's attention, and then issue a """ command. If the cat comes over obediently, let it eat, gently stroke the cat's head and back to reward it. In this way, after several trainings, the cat can form conditioned reflexes on the " password.
But this training method can easily make the cat misidentify that "return" is to let it eat. Therefore, training should also be carried out in conjunction with other methods. For example, you can use toys that cats like to replace food for training. While shouting "Come", you can fiddle with the toys that cats are interested in. When the cat comes over, you can stroke the cat with your hands. In this way, after repeated training, the cat will form a firm conditioning reflex to the "coming" password. However, every time a cat follows the password, it must give food rewards in time. Toy reward or touch reward.
When the cat forms a solid conditioning reflex to the " password, it can start training the conditioning reflex to the gesture. At the beginning, you will shout "Come" command, and at the same time, your right hand stretches forward and waves, gradually transitioning to only waves and not calls. When the cat completes the movements according to the gesture, it will give you a reward for touching, pressing your face or picking it up. In the future, during training, the conditioned reflex for waves will be gradually deepened. When cats cannot occasionally complete their coming movements according to the gesture requirements during training, don’t worry, and use the " password for training. This way, the cat will develop a firm conditioned reflex for it.
