Thread: Training Maine coons on a leash?

Candes, they sure do look like the same walking jacket. Even the same colors.

Right now they are still very good, but I can see that they will soon be too small. The kittens are racing around the house with them on right now. For house wear, getting used to them, I keep the straps a little looser.

Kittens have not tugged on the leash yet so no neck yanking. For Maine Coons I think these are good walking jackets for training, to get used to, but I too am looking for a better design for outdoors for full-grown Maine Coons.

Have read that leash attached to front chest is better for dogs so imagine that is also true for cats. Necks are fragile with the spinal cord oh so important so will be looking for different pressure point.

In the spring and summer we'll be putting up posts in the yard with cord so kittens can have a bit of freedom on their leashes while I'm outside with them gardening.

Eventually our goal is to have the kittens --> cats well trained and kayaking with us. The dog obedience is going well, now just have to apply it to the kittens.
