Thread: Mellow and the CLICKER TRAINING

It will be not so simple to explain it in english, but I try.
First of all you should associate the clicker sound to some positive (compliments and food). The first time you use clicker, call your cat, click and give food, repeat it some times, in this way the cat hear the sound and link it with a reward.
Then you should start with a simple command like "UP". Take a chair and call the cat. When he arrives, click + compliment ("good boy") + food (always in this order). Let him see you have food in your hand and simulate to put it on the chair while saying "up" to the cat.

-If the cat jump, click (IMMEDIATELY) + compliments + food. Repeat the exercises lot of time, when the cat seems to know the command, ask him to jump everywhere and without food.
-If the cat doesn't jump you should wait and invite him nearer the chair, when he comes C + C + F. Repeat it more times and every time always higher, if he put the paw on the chair C + double C + double Food. And so on...

It's really simple but you have to follow some rules:
- Click immediately when the cat does the action, neither before neither after.
- Do not train your cat so long, he will lose his curiosity while it should be always a game.
- Always congratulate the cat and do not reward him with only food.
