Teaching your rat tricks will be easy with these basic tips. Be patient and make the training fun.

Step 1: Make sure it's quiet
Make sure it is quiet with no distractions during training time so the rat stays focused.

Step 2: Train your rat
Train your rat with a clicker, small treats, and praise. Always give your pet positive reinforcement.

Tip
A clicker can be purchased online or at a pet store.

Step 3: Concentrate on one trick
Concentrate on teaching the rat 1 trick at a time, and start with something simple, like teaching the rat to come to you when called.

Tip
Keep the training sessions between 5 and 10 minutes.

Step 4: Use same gestures
Use the same command and gestures when you teach them a new trick, and eventually the rat will start to memorize the tricks.

Step 5: Start clicking
Start clicking. When the rat comes toward you, call its name and say "come," then give it a treat and praise.

Step 6: Remember key components
Remember that repetition, consistency, and patience are the key components to train your pet. Practice makes perfect.
