Without the Best Cat Training Your House Can Turn Into Chaos

Your cat scratching your newly bought sofa.

Your cat making a large mess under the kitchen table.

Your cat chewing away all your plants.

These are all things that can happen, and most likely WILL if you are living with an untrained cat in your house. The damage a cat can make can raise to thousands of dollars! You wouldn’t imagine what a little furry thing can do left home alone.

Unfortunately this is what many people can go through. Not many people know how to train their cat properly, and there is lot of mis-information on the Internet. It’s unfortunate that the right information about cat training hasn’t spread enough on the internet and this makes not only cat owners suffer, but also their beloved cat.

Fortunately for you I’m about to share a secret about cats, that can completely change the way you view them. Yes, actually it’s very basic, and any good cat trainer ought to know this, but not many do.

The secret is: Reward-Response Training.

You see, not many people know that their cats won’t respond to punishment, the way dogs do. Cats have no idea why you are punishing them for. That little difference, is actually a big difference if you think about it. It changes the whole training dynamic.

What you need to do now, is only reward your cat WHEN he does what you want him to do, and never punish him when he doesn’t do what you want him to do.

So how do you reward your cat? Well, every time he does something positive, like using the litter box, staying with the leash on, coming when you’re calling him give him a special treat and pet him for good behavior.

You see cats can be very pleasant pets, and living with a cat under the same roof peacefully doesn’t have to be a fantasy or something you see on TV. Many people see how cute cats are, on TV, and when they try to get one they struggle with his training and allow their cat to actually dominate their life. Actually that is why some people don’t like cats, it’s because they don’t understand them. They think cats are aloof and not-trainable, but that isn’t necessarily true. While it may be true that cats are independent creatures and can be aloof at times, they are certainly trainable, but only with the RIGHT information.

You can train your cat, if you have the right information. Most people don’t know this, and those who do know, try to train their cat with punishment, which is a very bad choice, for you and your cat. It can make kitty fear you and run away from you. Then when you try to pet him, he might scratch you. So don’t even think of punishing you cat. Get the right information about training cats and start applying what you learn as soon as possible. But also make sure you have the respect of your cat. Without the respect of your cat your cat training attempts are done in vain. This can be done by avoiding most mistakes that most cat owners do, but also you can find a special technique for doing this at my website.

How to Use Cat Training Aids the Right Way

Having a cat to love and play with around the house can be a lot of fun, but training your cat is an entirely different story. Unlike dogs, which learn basic obedience to the alpha male, cats require a great deal of patience and know how.

For this very reason, there is a wide variety of cat training aids that exist to assist you in properly training your cats. However, in order to assure the best cat training results through the use of these aids, you must use them the right way.

When wanting to fully and effectively train your cat with training aids the right way, there are a few things you must know first. You’re going to have to develop a great deal of patience. Cats like to be treated like royalty and will do whatever they want, which makes training them a potentially long process. What many cat training aids will tell you is that cats tend to learn through experience.

If they have a good experience doing something, chances are they’ll do it again. You must follow these aids to the letter when they say to make certain things a good or bad experience to the cat. If your cat wakes you up super early, don’t reward it with any attention. You may be instructed to act like you’re asleep so the cat will just learn to give up.

One of the first things to train your cat to do is to use the litter box. Many household kittens have already used the litter box as it learned from its mother. However extremely young or orphaned cats and kittens need to be trained.

Many cat training aids will tell you that cats already prefer cleanliness and neatness, and litter training will be easy to do. Again, to properly do it, you must follow the aid to the letter in order to do it the right way.

So if you’re instructed to get a small box or container that even the smallest of kittens can step into, place a small layer of litter, and place the cat in it, you’re going to have to do exactly as it says.

The best way to train your cats is with a combination of cat training aids and the patience to follow through and do exactly as instructed. Before you know it you’ll have a fully trained house cat.

Isn’t it time you discovered why most cat training aids don’t work, and how to get inside your cat’s mind and quickly teach them perfect behaviour from any age?

Well, right now, you can discover these secrets for free, with my 9 part guide to perfect cat behaviour at http://cattrainingtricks.com

There, you’ll discover why most cat training aids don’t work, and how to train your cat from scratch, in as little as 9 days.

Why Rely on a Cat Training Guide?

Quite a few cat owners believe that a cat training guide is unnecessary and training their cat is as easy as relying on their instinct. Some think that prior experience in training another pet has equipped them with the knowhow of training. The truth is, there are a lot of myths and misconceptions about cat training and getting a cat training guide is a great help to training your cat using the right techniques. As a new cat owner, training your feline pet in the wrong way is a waste of precious time an effort. More significantly, it will be harder to undo the inappropriate behavior he has already learned from you. Using a cat training guide will teach you the pointers of correct training and the traps to avoid. Here are some of them.

An effective cat training guide will include lessons on rewarding positive behavior rather than punishing unwanted ones. Cats cannot connect present events with their past actions. Teaching your cat to use the litter box for his mess will become second nature with him if you reward him with a treat after he uses the box. Anticipate the time that your cat needs to eliminate and bring him to the litter box. If he spills his mess inside, praise him with a soothing voice and reward him. A cat training guide advises you to do this every time he is successful. He will learn to use the litter box because he has associated it with reward and a treat. But scolding him for his mess on your floor will not be understood. He will just zone out on you and stay in a place where he can avoid you. Cats are so unlike dogs in this aspect. A good guide will tell you that patience and determination are qualities you must demonstrate when training your cat.

Another lesson you can learn from a cat training guide is that cats can be very manipulative and their owner will not even be aware of it. Instead of you training the cat, it might be the other way around. If you respond immediately to your cat’s cries, he will know that when he wants something, he can get it through crying. When you get out of bed to answer your cat’s cries at night and play with him, you can be pretty sure he will pick up on it and soon, your night sleep will be disturbed by your cat’s crying and wanting to play. As a cat owner, it is basic in cat training that you have to control your cat’s behavior and set the limitations. It is also important to train him to interact with other people and animals in the house.

A cat training guide can provide you with so many details, pointers and tips in proper cat training. Missing out on them can be disastrous. The training will take longer than normal and improper training will bring about unwanted behavior in your cat, making things worse instead of better.

Review of Complete Cat Training: How to Stop Your Cat’s Disobedient Behavior

It’s funny how many dog-training guides there are available. All the information you could ever want on how to teach your dog tricks; how to communicate with your dog; how to understand what your dog’s thinking; how to prevent behavioral problems.

Why aren’t there more books on how to do all this for cats? After all, cats are just as popular as dogs (if not more so); and, arguably, they’re just as intelligent and just as capable of being trained.

For example: my cat’s ridiculous amount of scratching up furniture.  The two things I didn’t do – but should have – were place a phone-call to that new acquaintance (I’m afraid my pride got in my way: I fostered fond dreams of casually unveiling my cat’s mastery of a stunning array of tricks and obedience work the next time she dropped around); and I didn’t even think of looking online until my husband (who, as chance would have it, works in internet marketing) castigated me gently for not “Googling” the subject straight away.

So I hopped onto the computer, and within five minutes I’d found what I was looking for in the Complete Cat Training Guide; and it was clear to me within just a few pages that the author, Paula Robb, is a woman who really knows what she’s talking about …

So What’s Included?

Let me get one thing straight: although this is a book that will teach you (among other commands) how to get your cat to beg, jump, twirl, stay, sit, come, open cupboards, kiss, play dead, and retrieve, that’s by no means all that you’ll learn.

Something I found incredibly useful was the book’s total-coverage philosophy: pretty much all aspects of cat ownership have been covered, in real detail.

For example, as well as cat training, you also get information on how to fix just about ANY cat problem (this is no baseless claim – over twenty-five cat behavioral problems are covered, from urine-marking to nocturnal disturbances to aggression).  There is a real-life case study for each problem (which is a real help when it comes to putting the information into context), and you learn about your cat’s body language and vocals, and how to use that knowledge to understand what he’s thinking and how to communicate with him.

If that isn’t enough for you, there are also numerous interesting chapters on crucial things to know like choosing the right cat for you; understanding feline behaviors both “good” and “bad”; how to help your cat adapt to your lifestyle and home; how to toilet-train your cat; and two whole sections on cat health and nutrition, all of which goes a long way towards deepening and strengthing your relationship with your cat.

Other Benefits

I sometimes find it hard to understand written instructions. It can be kind of confusing, especially when you’re also trying to control a wriggling, energetic cat. That’s why the clear step-by-step photographs and illustrations came in so handy with the training strategies: I actually understood exactly how to position myself and make the most of my body language during the training. It made the whole process a lot easier – and a whole lot faster!

Something else I liked: the book was instantly downloadable. This is a pretty big deal to me; I don’t like paying for something, then waiting days (usually weeks) for it to be shipped overseas, processed through the post, and then – likely as not – delivered to the wrong address. What I do like is instant gratification, which is exactly what I got with Complete Cat Training: seconds after paying my money, the book was downloaded onto my computer and I was gleefully reading through it.

The Best Bits

I don’t really understand how this woman can be making any money off her product, because she seems to be giving away a lot of stuff for free (but hey, I’m not complaining!)

Here are just a few of the handy little freebies that I got with my book:

- Two free bonus books: “The Essential Cat Recipe Book”, which shows you how to prepare tasty, healthy meals and treats for your beloved kitty; and “The Ultimate Guide to Pampering Your Cat”, which shows you how to develop a real bond of affection with your cat through improving his quality of life.

- A free, private email consultation (worth $120) with a team of real live cat trainers. Any problems that you have, any queries whatsoever, and all you have to do is send an email – you’ll get a detailed, personal reply from a team of seasoned cat trainers, to make sure any problems are truly resolved to your satisfaction. Not bad.

In a Nutshell

Two words: it’s good. You really can’t go wrong here; not only is the whole thing jam-packed with practical advice and hands-on tips, but the price is extremely reasonable: just $37 for the book, the consultation, and the bonus books.

And if you’re not convinced it’s worth parting with your money, there’s also a no-questions-asked money-back guarantee for 60 whole days after making the purchase.  Yes, it works, and you will get your money back if you ask for it (of course, then you’ll lose access to the system).

All in all, I have no qualms whatsoever about recommending Complete Cat Training to anyone who’s got, or is thinking about getting, a cat.  It’s put out by the same people behind the SitStayFetch dog training system, which I highly recommend, so you know it’s good.

Basically, whether it’s training, behavioral problems, trouble-shooting, or improving your relationship with your beloved kitty, you’re sure to learn something useful.

So if you want to stop cat biting, cat spraying, cat aggression, or other common cat training problems, this is a great place to start.  Enjoy!

Cat Training – Easy Cat Training Home Study Course

Many people when they attempt to train their cats find the process very difficult. Indeed they try to train cats based on their instincts or how they learned a dog should be trained. But you probably already know that cats and dogs aren’t the same, in fact they are very different. Trying to train a cat based purely on your instincts without the proper knowledge can even have negative side-effects, not to mention the frustration you will go through. So most owners quit training their cat saying it’s impossible to do it.

If you have a cat or planning to get one I suggest you start training him or her right away without delay. But be smart and do this with the right information.

Cat Training Class, Is It Right for You?

When people say they are taking their pet to obedience training classes, others will assume that they mean their dog. More and more people are taking their cats to these classes as well. Cats are great pets.  They are less time consuming than a dog, more affectionate than a bowl of goldfish, and definitely less creepy than a spider, but they can also be a huge mental challenge. Cats are experts at doing things when there are no witnesses, and that makes training them just a little trickier. The first thing that a feline owner must understand is that reprimands do not work with a cat at all.

Cat training classes are more about training the human owners than about training the cats themselves, because it takes some real patience and understanding to deal with the behavior of even the best kitty, and let’s face it, those are not the cats that are getting dragged to behavior classes, are they?  Behavior classes are usually filled with harried owners at the last step before dropping their psycho pet off at the local shelter. Some cats are just nuts, and that is putting it mildly, so what is the kitty owner to do?

First, you have to make the decision of what behaviors will and will not be tolerated in your home. The first thing to accomplish should be the litter box, and then other skills can be introduced and perfected afterward. Do not allow your cat to get away with a bad behavior even once or he will be bound to repeat it, and remember although your cat will do several things that are similar to dogs, they are not the same and must be handled differently.

The cat training class will show you the proper methods of disciplining your cat, as well as the best reward system to use. Some cats are pure gluttons and will turn themselves into pure idiots for the treats, while others would rather starve to death rather than comply with such frivolity as rules. You have to know your own cats mindset that can help you figure out how best to approach him. Regardless of the method, make sure that the rules are adhered to consistently by all family members or you might find manipulative monsieur le chat playing his hairless wards like a game of chess. Remember, you are the boss, this is your house! Let the cat get the upper, er, paw and all might very well be lost!
