How to train cats to follow their rules? When training a cat, you must first understand the cat!
The owner can use food, items or the owner's actions to induce the cat to make the correct movements. Training kittens is more suitable for using induction training methods.
Compulsion refers to the way the owner forced the cat to make accurate corresponding actions. For example: when training a cat to lie down, the owner must press the cat down with his hands while issuing the "lying down" command, so as to force the cat to lie down. After repeated several trainings, the cat can quickly respond to the owner's command "lying down". When the owner says the "lying down" command, the cat will automatically lie down to the ground.
When using this method to train a cat, the owner should consider the cat's own personality habits. The cat likes gentle methods and eats soft but not hard. The more fierce the owner's command is, the less the cat does not execute the command.
After the cat makes the correct movements, the owner can give the cat appropriate rewards. The main purpose is to strengthen the cat's habit of receiving commands and making correct movements, and to consolidate the conditioned reflexes that the cat has formed. The owner's reward methods include food, compliment and caress.
Rewards and compulsions must be combined to be effective. Each time the cat is forced to make the correct movements, an appropriate reward should be given immediately. The level of rewards will gradually increase with the difficulty of training. It should be noted that the owner's rewards are too frequent or the conditions are too low, and it is easy to develop the psychological habit of not being optimistic about minor rewards, which cannot inspire cats to train.
Once you find that a cat has some bad habits, you should use punishment methods in time. Methods of punishment include: angrily scolding, knocking, etc. For example, when a cat does something bad, you can punish the cat with a sprinkler, or say "no" to the cat loudly.
To make the cat's orders to the owner accurately and in place, it must be trained for a period of time. The owner should be very patient and repeat the orders over and over again. Only when the cat is very familiar with your orders, the owner will be considered successful.
