Think cats can’t be trained? Think again!
Getting started with Dr. Kristyn Vitale🐈


Clicker Training For Cats? Yes, please!
Training the first behavior
- Load the clicker first, then start shaping behaviors.
- Click to mark the exact moment your cat does the behavior.
- Click and reward every time.
- Example: for “sit,” click when the cat sits, then give a treat right away.
- No clicker? That’s okay! Reward quickly so the cat links action to treat.

Getting comfortable with a harness & leash
- Pair the harness with good things before putting it on.
- Set the harness where your cat rests.
- Use treats or catnip around the harness.
- Put the harness on before meals.
- Praise while the cat wears it.
