How I started training my cats

At first it was very hard to keep the cats apart. I took the hungriest cat and prepared:
  • A shallow bowl.
  • Clicker.
  • Training wand.
  • Another bowl with small chunks of fish.
  • Dispensable spoon.
I used the spoon to break out small pieces of food, and letting my cat sniff the goods :)
Now I show Sammi the training wand; no....no... he wants the food !
So I dip the edge of the wand in some of his food, I put it about an inch from his nose...
As his nose makes it's way to the edge of my wand, click! and than lure him with the real
food (still in the spoon) to the shallow bowl where I treat to it.
I kept the wand at close range, every time he touched nose - click! treat... and again.
I got 8 clicks with Sammi this first session, so I'm pretty happy about that.
Then Isla came in the room, and gave me and my wand a nasty look. But with time, she'll
hopefully observe the training with Sammi, and of course - she gets her treats, so she won't flip out.
