They do not have to be perfect demos, as everyone learns at a different pace. However, students will work with their cat to demonstrate how they have taught their cat and how their cat has progressed. If the students are uncomfortable, an alternate trick, such as opening doors or walking in your feet, may be presented. This option needs to be discussed in advance.
Students will learn the specific tricks listed. Students will also learn how to use positive reinforcement to effectively train tricks, and be able to use the principles to think of their own tricks.
