with positive reinforcement you won't
only teach your cat their name
you can as well teach them to come on
command mia
come here what are you doing
teaching our cat to come when cold it's
very cute indoors but it becomes
extremely important when we are on an
adventure
both for leash walking as well as in the
event that they escaped if you're a
newcast mom or a new cadet
or even if you had a cat for a while and
you want to take them on adventures with
you consider subscribing
i'm going to be uploading tips and
tricks to help you go outdoors with your
[Music]
cat by a mix of emotion got my statement
and i'm reading slow so i can understand
it fully appreciate my standing
i'm going to go with the bold assumption
that you have a furry companion
that probably it's a cat i'm also going
to assume that
you give your cat treats what happens
when you get the bag of treats
what does the cat do does it stay what
it is
does it keep on sleeping the sound of
the back of treats has become an
unconditioned stimulus
which means that without us teaching our
cats anything
our cats are already reacting to it they
understand
that that sound comes with treats our
cat has created already the positive
association between the sound of the bag
and receiving treats and therefore they
react to it
our cats have fallen victims of classic
conditioning the fact that our cats
react to the sound of the duck it's the
irrefutable reality
that cats can be trained so what we're
going to do is leverage this association
to get them calm when called today's
tutorial it's going to be divided in
three parts
the first one we're going to teach our
cut their name the second one
we're going to teach them how to come on
command the third one i want to share
with you
some tips and tricks that are going to
make this training a lot easier
you know that i like to give you
homework so for today we're going to
need treats
we're going to need a clicker and most
importantly we're going to need to make
sure that our clicker
is charged if you're wondering why your
clicker doesn't have any batteries or
where the usb port is to charge your
clicker
please pause the video for 5 minutes and
watch this one instead i've created a
tutorial where i explain what clicker
training is and it's going to be very
useful for you to watch that one first
once you're done i'll be waiting for you
here let's assume we all have treats
we all have a clicker and that the
clickers are charged let's go find a
place where we can get our cats moving
up and down
we're going to start by saying their
name and clicking right after then
we're going to reward to start this
exercise we're going to draw their
attention
with the treats nia
[Music]
mia at some point
our cat is going to understand that
whenever we say their name there's a
trick coming
when that happens they're going to start
looking at us after we say their names
at this point it's when we can move to
the next stage of the training
now instead of just giving them their
treat we're going to throw it away
when they finish eating we're going to
say their name shake the treats
and when they are within our arms reach
we're going to click
then throw it again
[Music]
after a few repetitions they're going to
create the positive association between
their name
and treats and thus every time that we
say their name
they're going to come mia
when this happens we can move to the
next step you can start playing around
the house
say their name and see what happens
meow
[Music]
teaching your cat to come when cold it's
a pretty straightforward trick
but we can face head ones i'm going to
share with you some extra tips
that are going to drastically increase
your probabilities of success let's
assume that your cat is food motivated
it's not always the case but that's a
topic for another video
not all trades are created equal find
that one treat that's going to make your
cat go crazy for
save the treat only for training
sessions pre-feeding your cat which
means having always a bowl of food ready
for them on the floor
it's very likely going to decrease their
motivation for treats instead
put your cat on a schedule make sure
that they eat only two or three times a
day
wait for your cat to finish eating
before calling their name again
at some point they might even look at
you waiting for the command from now on
every time that you put the bowl of food
down call their name
even if they are already present yeah
the clicker allows us to mark behaviors
with quite a lot of precision
try to mark the behavior always at the
same distance i personally consider she
came on command when she's within my
arm's reach
if you like the video give it a thumbs
up this helps other cat owners know that
this content is useful and it helps me
reach more people thanks for watching
enjoy the training
