just wondering if anyone has had any great success with clickertraining so that I can maybe ask for some tips
So my kitten Gollum is approaching almost 15 weeks. I’ve been clickertraining him for about 3 weeks now. It’s going well. He knows as soon as I pick up the clicker and comes running...
Hello all,
I'm wondering if anyone has experience with clickertraining using play as the reward. I have an extremely play motivated cat (more so than food I would say) and am trying to clicker train her to accept having her claws trimmed. I have a "jackpot" toy that I try to use with her — she...
Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this thread, sorry if it isn't!
Anyways, I recently started trying to clicker train Rayleigh, but I ran into a bit of a problem. My boy is super super food motivated, and he just completely tunes out the sound of the clicker. It's like...
...confident he'll be an easy cat to clicker train. So far I've watched a bunch of videos on youtube, read a few books/articles on clickertraining, and bought the supplies needed (clicker & treats). I'm ready to start but I can't seem to find information regarding a schedule or order of...
So next month I’m going to begin clickertraining Jackie. Any ideas on the best treats to use? I’m thinking maybe baby food? Any idea on tricks to train him? We are currently working on spin but I’m going to use clicker tray to make it clearer. He knows up (high 10) & sit. I am doing it partly...
I am currently in the process of clickertraining two kittens (a brother and sister who are five-months-old). The sister is a genius and is picking everything up almost effortlessly, but her brother on the other hand just can't seem to process anything other than "sit."
He seems to not pay...
So I'd like to give clickertraining Itachi a try. He already responds to his name, usually responds to "no", and will follow my finger to an object often (I can point and say "There's your food" or "There's your toy" and he'll go to what I'm pointing a lot of the time. Not with any sort of...
...also 'off.' We found a couple of short articles on it, but nothing very extensive. Any resources or tips that you'd recommend for clickertraining?
2) We would also like to harness train the cat to go on short walks, maybe once or twice a week during nice weather. Is that realistic? Or...
...go here instead of under nutrition since it involves training, but does anyone have any recommendations of good treats to use for clickertraining? The treats I use now are total garbage nutrition-wise, and while the kitty likes them, she doesn't go crazy for them or anything, so if anybody...
...-- my name is Sarah Toy and I'm a reporter for The Wall Street Journal's health and science bureau. I'm working on an article on clickertraining cats and wanted to hear about your experiences. Have you tried clickertraining your cat? What was that like? Was it difficult? What have you...
Percy and Jasper have sit figured out, and I’d like to move on to stay. However, I’m not sure how to go about training this behavior. I sit them and encourage them to stay put with treats, but the treats keep falling or they get up to eat them, totally defeating what I’m asking them to do.
Has...
Just basic questions...
Is the ultimate goal of clickertraining to get the cat to do something WITHOUT the clicker i.e. with just a verbal cue? So as soon as the verbal cue is working, drop the clicker?
Is the other goal to drop the food treat? And if so, will the cat continue to do the...
Does any one have any experience with using clickertraining with a cat/kitten? I'm interested in trying it out with our little one, Zelda, but was wondering if anyone could recommend some good resources to learn from. I do have a small book "Cat Training in 10 Minutes", but was wondering if...
I need some suggestions, cause I'm ready to give up.
I've clicker trained two separate cats at to different times successfully.
I've got a new set of kits and I'm at wits end.
Mr. Claw, aptly named because he likes to swipe at you, is my main problem
When I tried charging the clicker, after...
Hello all! I have tried to search regarding clickertraining a cat and I have seen a lot of good information given and also a lot of people that are not familiar with clickertraining a cat. I was wondering if anyone knows of anyone or any company that does cat obedience training? If there is...
Hi all,
I've started conditioning my cat, Frankie to the clicker. I decided to start this because he is so intensely food motivated, and gets into trouble/can get aggressive suddenly whether it be play or irritation at getting his claws trimmed.
I'm a psych student with an interest in animal...
Hello! I'm looking for a forum or thread for people are new to cllicker training cats. Anyone know of such a forum or thread? If I start a new thread here on that topic, which forum topic would you suggest I post it to?
...not long from now. Still debating on the details, but that isn't the issue at hand
For a variety of reasons, I've been looking into clickertraining the pair some time after they've settled into their new home. Nothing incredibly complex, just a few tricks for mutual fun and behavioral...
