Students will learn how to use positive reinforcement to train their cats fun tricks. They will also learn to be patient as they better understand how a cat thinks.
Homework Offered
Each week, after watching the posted video, students should submit a video outlining the steps of the trick. The video should be a minimum of 60 seconds, not to exceed 3 minutes. Please submit the video by Saturday 12:00 am. Students without a cat may use a stuffed animal or a family member with a sense of humor. I don’t expect the cat to perform the trick in one weeks time, I only expect the student to demonstrate their understanding of how to teach the trick.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
I will assess the students demo video each week and leave feedback.Grades Offered
A cat harness and leash, a dowel or stick 10-18 inches long ( disposable chopsticks work fine) a dinner bell (the sort you press down on to ring, not pick up and shake), and 3 disposable cups.
