Hey I bought a clicker today and I wanted to know how you clicker train your cat. Someone here or on another newsgroup posted how you do it. I'd like to find out. Mine sure are bored and I'd love to clicker train em Tina =^..^= ---- Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum -- I think that I think, therefore I think that I am. I don't know about clickers, but I do know that a BB gun works very well in cat training. They learn very quickly to listen to me or *pop* MREEOOOOWWWWWWRRRREEEOOOOW. A clicker just aggravates the cats they need to know who the boss is. James Marz |

A clicker just aggravates the cats they need to know who the boss is. Bet the cat laughed its ass off when you slid across a BB on the floor and fell on your butt. A bit too rough, though, the cat would then avoid you as opposed to trying to do what you say (this works fine if the command you're using is "get the hell out"). Otherwise the trick to negative-reinforcement (if you believe in that) and cats is to **** them off... take the cat off the kitchen counter where it knows it shouldn't be and rub its fur the wrong way so it has to spend 20 minutes putting all its hair back in place. pat |

Thanks! I was looking for something free thought.. hehe.. I guess I'll have to make it up or find something out. The lady at the Petsmart told me that there was a women who clicker trained her birds. She wrote a book about it too.. Weird... next you can clicker train your snake or your bunny or your kids! Tina Ah, free. Well, I tried to get some info from clickertraining.com, but I think she was off doing seminars. I wanted to go to her seminar but they were many hundreds of dollars, alas. Finally, got tired of waiting for a reply for an email about sending a check so just borrowed the book, brand new and unused, from my library, HOT DAMN! Lots of good info she has in her book, Karen Pryor. Others have some info too. Wendy Jeffries has info in her Yahoo clicker cat group. I find it does work. Fortunately my cat likes kibble so I don't have to mess with the spoon and wet food or fingers. CAUTION, if using wet food, buy a BABY SPOON so your cat in its eagerness does not break a tooth. I noticed the professional trainers using the very soft baby spoons, cute too, the spoons and the trainers. Very Friskies oriented, he-he. Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum -- I think that I think, therefore I think that I am. Someone is doing a lot of cogitation, lately, but Descartes might be wrong. Thinking is not always thinking although it leads one to think that one is thinking. |

They are really good at clicker traing cats at 10th life. Maybe you would consider taking your cats there Tina. Maria |
