- You will learn how to teach your cat and how to support that learning.
-
Since cats usually do best in their own familiar territory,
training consultations should probably occur at your location.
-
Because each session will be customized for you, an initial
visit will include:
- A discussion of your needs and goals, and the lists you've
made
(see the Tips page).
This is an excellent time for your cat or cats
and me to become acquainted.
- An assessment of the cat's current property
- If your cat or cats will allow me to work with
them, we will work
on a few basic commands such as sit, lie down,
off, and becoming familiar with their rug.
- If your cat will not work with me, I will
coach while you work
with your cat, or we will discuss the techniques
that will start you on your way towards accomplishing your
training goals
- A discussion or demo of additional commands to
practice with your cat,
- Develop a strategy for you to follow
- If appropriate, we will discuss or go through
the process of clipping
your cat's claws
- You will receive a handout of cat training do's
and don'ts
- For best results, you and your family must
consistently reinforce and
support newly learned behaviors.
- Learning takes time and reinforcement and,
some cats learn faster than others.
- What your cat learns will be determined
by the amount of time you work
with your cat and how consistent
you are at reinforcing positive
and negative behaviors.
- Follow up visits can be scheduled ahead of
time or as you and
your cat are ready. New commands can be covered or
already-introduced
commands can be reviewed.
-
Training packages can be customized to meet your
needs and your budget.
