How To Start Clicker Training Your Cat

Clicker training is an easy way to teach your cat fun and practical behaviours. A clicker is a handheld tool that makes a clicking sound. We teach the cat that one click equals one treat. Then we can use the clicker to pinpoint a behaviour we want to reinforce. For example, if you wanted to teach your cat to high five, you would click as soon as they raise their paw. Now your cat knows that raising their paw is the desired behaviour and they will start to repeat the action. Adult cats and kittens can both learn with clicker training. Start by tossing a treat away and encourage your cat to return to you. When they approach your finger, click and toss another treat away. We are setting the foundation for clicker training by reinforcing your cat for their attention. Once your cat is happy, attentive and eager to work, you are ready to teach your cat other behaviours.
