貓咪的技巧訓練！

Do you love cats? Do you wish you had a stronger bond with your cat? Would you like to better understand your cat? Do you want your cat to be a star? See how trick training improves your relationship with your furry friend. In this class I, with the assistance of my two cats, Shinobi and Rygel, will show you how to teach your cat fun tricks. These tricks include high fives, play dead, roll over, etc. plus how to teach your cat to walk on a leash. In each class, there will be a demonstration of the desired behavior, a detailed step by step on how to achieve the behavior, and then the explanation of why this works for your cat. Students will learn the principles of gentle animal training through positive reinforcement. We will discuss common problems that a trainer may encounter. We will also discuss several habits of successful trainers. Students will have time to ask questions about each trick modeled, as well as each lesson will start with a class discussion on how their own training went. This class is meant to be fun, and I will create a supportive environment. This class will build the students confidence and a sense of accomplishment. Students will learn patience and gentleness as they learn how to communicate with their cat.  Students are welcome to bring their cat to class if they choose. Students who do not have a cat are welcome as well. *Note that each cat learns at a different speed, your cat will not learn a new trick each week, rather the student will learn how to teach a new trick each week. The student can then use their new skills to teach their cat at their own pace. Private lessons are available if a student wants more help with a specific trick.
