Preface

Cats in their childhood can be very naughty and disobedient. As the saying goes, without rules, there can be no harmony. If you want your cat to become obedient and well behaved, you must train it appropriately. It is best to start training your cat from a young age. At this time, many habits of cats have not been formed, and it will be better for them to accept good habits.

1、 Training starts from a young age, correcting mistakes requires focusing on the current situation

Cats must be educated immediately at the scene of making mistakes. Because most cat owners have to go to work, which may not be easy to achieve, it increases the difficulty of correcting the cat's erroneous behavior.

Training should start from the infancy of cats. It is very difficult to correct the bad habits of an mature cat, but it is relatively easy to prevent them from the beginning. However, with perseverance, any cat can learn some simple behavioral rules.

It is best to start training within a few days after you bring the cat home. During training, hold a water gun or a speaker (you can put some coins in an aluminum can) at hand. Whenever a cat climbs onto a chair or grinds its teeth on furniture, spray it with a water gun or shake the speaker next to it. If you can't keep an eye on it, you should limit its range of activities before leaving home. Do not physically punish cats, as it will only make them afraid of their owners and lose trust.

2、 Creating a suitable environment for joyful training

Do not leave delicious food or things that can arouse the cat's curiosity in places where the cat can find them, such as tables and chairs. This will encourage cats to climb high. If the ground is dirty and messy, or if there are things or animals that cats are afraid of, they have to jump onto furniture and stay there.

Please prepare a paw grinder for your cat. The claw grinder can be wrapped in a rough blanket or a bare wooden stick, depending on the cat's preferences. You can also set up a spot for cats to bask in the sun and enjoy the scenery on the windowsill or other higher places. The greatest pleasure of cats is sitting in the sunshine, enjoying the scenery, and safely understanding the outside world.

When you are not at home, some auxiliary measures can be taken to help cats consolidate good behavior. For example, wrap the scratched parts of furniture in plastic bags or aluminum foil as warning signs. You can also place the speaker on the chair at will, and once the cat jumps on it, it will fall and make a sound. Once such a situation occurs, the owner should strengthen training after returning home.

The good behavior of cats must also be praised. If a cat uses the paw grinder you prepared for it or sits on a designated windowsill, it should be immediately given reward food and praised.

The key to training is to make cats feel happy while establishing good behavior. If the methods suggested above do not work, you should reconsider whether you have provided your cat with a living environment that is in line with its heart and nature, and make targeted adjustments.

3、 Basic methods of cat training

Induction: A means of using food, objects, and other factors to induce cats to perform a certain action during training, in order to establish a conditioned reflex.

Compulsive: It is a means of using mechanical stimulation and threatening commands to force cats to make accurate corresponding actions. When using coercion, it is important to be prompt and moderate, as excessive coercion can cause cats to develop resistance.

Reward: It is a means taken to reinforce a cat's correct movements or consolidate a conditioned reflex that has already been formed. The methods include food, affection, and praise.

2. Precautions for Training

Time: When cats are hungry, they are more obedient, so they should be trained before feeding. The duration should not be too long each time, 10 minutes is sufficient.

Speed: Generally, only one action can be taught, and multiple exercises should not be performed simultaneously, as it may cause annoyance to the cat and make future training difficult.

Method: Various training methods should be organically combined, and the attitude should not be tough. It is necessary to apply both firmness and flexibility, and combine leniency and strictness.

Password: Passwords must be concise and accompanied by certain gestures and expressions. Complex passwords can confuse cats and increase training difficulty.

summary

The training of cats is not simple or difficult, it mainly depends on what kind of training method the owner chooses. As long as the owner trains reasonably, corrects the cat's bad habits, and persists, I believe it won't be long before the cat becomes very obedient.
